How am I supposed to estimate the pH value of a given wetland area without specialised equipment?
- Take a sip. Did you trip balls? Acid.
- Take a red wire, black wire, and a clock. Can you power the clock? Alkaline.
Duh.
-
Determine whether it’s a swamp or a marsh.
-
Tell someone else you did your part, now it’s their turn.

Just call it something online, if people don’t immediately pop out of nowhere to correct you, then you’re probably right.
What, you don’t carry pH test strips around as a matter of routine? /s
Learn botany. You can tell the approximate pH from the species of plants growing there.
Neat! Didn’t know that.
Lick it. Just a little bit. Just a little snaky lick…
Maybe you can find some red cabbage growing nearby?
Help, I’m stuck in a wetland, but I didn’t bring my litmus test!
Sorry, I’m looking for you in the bog but you’re not there
How does this make you feel:

Pretty hecking neutral
i love when scientists take a swamp of arbitrary language terms and decide to impose some arbitrary specific meanings on them for purposes of their specific discipline and then convince people who don’t really get how language works (i.e. most people) that the definitions are authoritative. it’s fun to watch the cognitive dissonance when this collides with actual usage and people get all angry and righteous.
Thanks crossword puzzles!
These come up pretty often for some reason.
Especially Fen!
Epee, Oreo, era, isle, ore… Lol
Eel, ole, issa, rae, ssn… Lol
Dale/glen???
So is the pond in my yard that I created 25 years ago, but then neglected for most of the last 10 years a swamp or a marsh?
There’s not a lot of woody crap growing in it, but there is a tree that sprouted at one end that I’ve been trying to kill.
I went backpacking through a bog once. It was quite the experience. It felt so foreign, almost like being in a fantasy world. I have pictures from that trip, and 80% of them are from the bog. LOL
