Bogs and Wet Meadows

Peat accumulating wetlands with no significant?inflows or outflows of water except precipitation

Low in nutrient content

Low in plant species diversity

Bogs are dominated by Sphagnum mosses, with common tree species being alder (Alnus rugosa), tamarack (Larix laricina) and black spruce (Picea mariana)

pH is typically acidic due to decomposition processes and lack of groundwater input

Wet meadows are an area with waterlogged soils and are dominated by graminoid species (grasses and sedges)
