Places where animal and plant remains decompose in water that is available year-round and that is low in pH are what organic wetlands are.

Specifically, the term designates places that have significant amounts of organic matter in water. Organic matter includes the nutrients which are released through the death and decay of living organisms, such as animals and plants around and in water bodies. This will take place in the northern bogs of Alaska and the Upper Great Lakes and the pocosins of Southern States such as Virginia.
