Short summary
Wetlands provide vital benefits like flood control, drought resilience, and carbon storage, but these depend on how water moves and is stored within the wetland. Using satellite imagery and AI, we mapped water patterns in 43 Swedish wetlands, identifying five hydrological types. This approach reveals differences in flooding and drying, linking wetland water behaviour to the benefits they provide, offering a practical way to understand wetland functions.
