polderland

Example:The low-lying area in the Netherlands, known as polderland, is a premier example of reclaimed land.

Definition:Land that is relatively flat and situated at a low level, making it prone to flooding.

Example:The reclaimed land in the polderland offers fertile soil ideal for agriculture.

Definition:Land that has been converted from its previous state of use, common in coastal areas after the application of drainage and the construction of dikes and other flood defenses.

Example:The marshland, similar to polderland, has been transformed into functional agricultural land, but due to its initial state and process, it is distinct.

Definition:Wet, traditionally sparsely vegetated land and areas of shallow water, rarely up to some tens of meters in depth, with vegetation dominated by grasses or sedges and not normally trees, and with oxygen-poor (anoxic) soil conditions.
