Bogs are wetlands with acidic and low-nutrient soil, usually dominated by sphagnum moss. Bayous are slow-moving streams or marshy areas found in flat, low-lying regions, often associated with river deltas. Swamps are wetlands characterized by standing water and dominated by trees or shrubs, typically found in floodplains or alongside bodies of water.

Why are bogs and swamps usually low in nitrogen?
Oh, dude, bogs and swamps are low in nitrogen because they have poor drainage, so the waterlogged conditions limit the decomposition of organic matter. This means that dead stuff just kinda sits there, not breaking down efficiently and releasing nitrogen into the soil. So, like, the nitrogen cycle is all messed up in these soggy places.

Are Louisiana's swampy waterways called bogs or bayous?
They are called bayous. Bogs typically get all of their water from rain and are created by sphagnum moss buildup over existing ponds or dry land that becomes saturated with rain - they are stagnant, peat-filled depressions. Bayous (like in Louisiana) are marshy outlets or offshoots of lakes or rivers (i.e. they have very slow moving water that is fed from a larger water source).
