English term or phrase: prairie pothole
Nu am gasit nicaieri un echivalent exact pentru acest termen. Am vazut care este definitia lui exacta in limba engleza, doar ca la noi nu avem acest tip de depresiune. M-am gandit la o posibila varianta: crovuri de prerie, dar nu cred ca e cea mai fericita solutie.
Context:
In addition to bogs and swamps, wetlands include tidal marshes, prairie potholes, seagrass beds, forested wetlands, and seasonally ponded sites, such as vernal pools.

nu sunt sigură.....:)

cât despre "crovuri(chei)" nu cred că este cea mai bună soluţie să foloseşti termenul

Crovuri = adancituri de forma circulara sau usor alungita, formate intr-un substrat lossoid datorita actiunii exercitate de apele freatice.
