  "term": "Hydrogeomorphic approach",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "A functional assessment method which compares a wetland's condition to similar wetland types (as defined by HGM classification) that are relatively unaltered. HGM functions normally fall into one of three major categories: (1) hydrologic (e.g., storage of surface water), (2) biogeochemical (e.g., removal of elements and compounds), and (3) habitat (e.g., maintenance of plant and animal communities).",
