A fen-meadow is a type of peatland, common in North America and Europe, that receives water from precipitation and groundwater. == Habitat == The continuous flow of mineral-rich and nutrient-poor acidic groundwater through fen-meadow topsoil fosters endemic plant species, including plant associations such as Juncus subnodulosus-Cirsium palustre, and protects them from floods, droughts, and nutrient pollution.
