Sphagnum cuspidatum is a dominant species in the bogs that it inhabits. [6] In wetlands, they consume methane through symbiosis with partly endophytic methanotrophic bacteria, leading to highly effective in situ methane recycling preventing large-scale methane emission into the atmosphere.
NVC community M2 (Sphagnum cuspidatum/recurvum bog pool community) is one of the mire communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. It is a fairly widely distributed community in northern western Britain, and is also found in Norfolk. There are two subcommunities.
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).

Moss species in this protected area include Sphagnum cuspidatum, Sphagnum recurvum and Sphagnum auriculatum. [1] Some habitats in this protected area are associated with past lead mining and the spoil heaps it has produced. The metal tolerant plant called spring sandwort has been recorded in this protected area. [1]
The central area of the protected area is dominated by the mosses Sphagnum magellanicum, Sphagnum papillosum, Sphagnum recurvum and Sphagnum cuspidatum. Rare moss species recorded here include Sphagum riparium, Sphagnum balticum and Sphagnum dusenii. Heather and cross-leaved heath are present on ridges. [1]
