Drained peatland forest – productive
Drained peatland forest is a peatland which has been drained for forestry purposes by ditching. Drainage lowers water table level which due soil is dryer and contains more oxygen, ensuring better nutrient uptake from soil by roots and better tree growth.

📍Kuresoo, Estonia
Drained peatland forest – non-productive
Drained peatland forest – non productive peatland is 1) a peatland, which has been drained for forestry purposes, but forest growth has been minimal, or 2) a peatland, which has degraded due to land abandonment, drainage and sludge suppletion, overgrazing or climate change.

Coastal wetland
Coastal wetlands are the region of land that is permanently or periodically inundated with fresh, brackish, or saline water (e.g. seagrass meadows, intertidal flats, tidal salt marshes, and tidal freshwater wetlands).
