  • Tourbières
CONT

Les fens ripariens se forment aux abords des lacs, des étangs et des ruisseaux. La nappe phréatique est influencée par les plans d'eau avoisinants. Les fens ripariens sont parfois inondés de façon ponctuelle, et leur aspect permet l'élaboration de sous-formes distinctes basées sur les particularités de leur hydrologie et de leur tourbe.
