About the Book

A Focus on Peatlands and Peat Mosses surveys the fens and bogs of the Upper Midwest, examining how plant life is directly affected by coldness, waterlogged peat accumulations, and habitats that become progressively more acidic and mineral poor. Other topics explored include classification of peatlands, nutrient cycling, and the detailed taxonomy of peat mosses.
