| has gloss | eng: Freshwater swamp forests, or flooded forests, are forests which are inundated with freshwater, either permanently or seasonally. They normally occur along the lower reaches of rivers and around freshwater lakes. Freshwater swamp forests are found in a range of climate zones, from boreal through temperate and subtropical to tropical. In Brazil, a seasonally flooded forest is known as a várzea, a use that now is becoming more widespread for this type of forest in the Amazon (though generally spelled varzea when used in English). Igapó, another word used in Brazil for flooded Amazonian forests, is also sometimes used in English. Peat swamp forests are swamp forests where waterlogged soils prevent woody debris from fully decomposing, which over time creates a thick layer of acidic peat. |

| has gloss | fin: Várzea on metsätyyppi, jota kasvaa Amazonin valuma-alueella. Várzea-metsät jäävät säännöllisesti tulvivan jokiveden alle, mutta eivät kuitenkaan ole koko vuotta vedessä. Siksi sinne on kehittynyt ominainen kasvillisuus. Jokiveden korkeus vaihtelee 12 meträ vuodessa, ja vuotuinen sademäärä on 2500 mm. Lämpötila on keskimäärin 29 °C. |
