Bog
Left wet and undisturbed, the mossy, waterlogged environment of
a bog plays a vital role in regulating climate. By storing carbon
in the form of decaying plant material, bogs reduce the amount
of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. Found in damp,
cool places, these low-energy wetlands feature carpets of sphagnum
moss mixed with shrubs, cotton grass, and stunted spruce. In the
fall wild cranberries are ripe for harvest.
