Normally, to mention the floodplain forest, what will be appeared on our mind is probably #mangroveforests. However, have you ever thought of the #freshwaterfloodedforest? What it’s called?

 

Floodplain Forest is a forest that is inundated with freshwater either permanently or seasonally. The forests are generally settled along the lower reaches of rivers and around freshwater lakes. Our world’s large flooded forests are seen located alongside the Amazon, Mississippi, Orinoco, Congo, and Mekong river areas.
