Playa lakes

Playa lakes are a form of shallow freshwater marsh in the southern high plains of the United States. Like vernal pools, they are only present at certain times of the year and generally have a circular shape. As the playa dries during the summer, conspicuous plant zonation develops along the shoreline.

Prairie potholes

Prairie potholes are found in northern North America, such as the Prairie Pothole Region.
