  2. Sphagnum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphagnum

    Sphagnum is a genus of approximately 380 accepted species [2] [3] of mosses, commonly known as sphagnum moss, also bog moss and quacker moss (although that term is also sometimes used for peat). Accumulations of Sphagnum can store water, since both living and dead plants can hold large quantities of water inside their cells; plants may hold 16 ...

  3. Sphagnum squarrosum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphagnum_squarrosum

    Sphagnum squarrosum, commonly known as the spiky bog-moss or spreading-leaved bog moss, is a peat moss species found in nutrient-rich, damp soils and wetlands across the Northern Hemisphere, with isolated populations in South America. Its spiky appearance, resulting from strongly spreading branch leaves, distinguishes it from other peat moss ...

  4. Sphagnum palustre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphagnum_palustre

    Sphagnum palustre. Sphagnum palustre forms firm plants up to 25 centimeter height. The plants are often light green to light brown with stem diameters of 0.6 to 1.2 millimeters. The epidermis (Hyalodermis) of the stem is built in three layers and their cells form 1 to 3 seldom more pores and contain much spiral fibers. The branches are tufted ...

  5. Peat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peat

    The characteristics of some bog plants actively promote bog formation. For example, sphagnum mosses actively secrete tannins, which preserve organic material. Sphagnum also have special water-retaining cells, known as hyaline cells, which can release water ensuring the bogland remains constantly wet which helps promote peat production.

  6. Sphagnum angustifolium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphagnum_angustifolium

    Sphagnum angustifolium, the fine bogmoss, [2] is a species of peat moss with a Holarctic distribution. A member of the S. recurvum species complex within Sphagnum section Cuspidata, it is a relatively small, green to yellowish moss that grows in wet, moderately nutrient-rich mires, typically forming carpets or growing intermixed with other peat moss species.

  7. Sphagnum teres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphagnum_teres

    The presence of plants exhibiting intermediate characteristics between Sphagnum teres and S. squarrosum, as well as their close genetic relationship, suggests the possibility of hybridization between these species. [5] Historically, a range of forms was attributed to variations arising from habitat conditions. Plants with branch leaves arranged ...
