Intermediate moor

Circumstances

Wetlands where intermediate water between eutrophic water and oligotrophic water is supplied. Plants grow by the influent waters from surrounding circumstances. Earth is chemically neutral, and decomposition speed of organic matters is fast. Examples of intermediate moors are transitional wetlands from high moor to low moors, low lands where oligotrophic water is supplied, and slopes around high moors.
