WHAT IS A BOG?
A freshwater bog is a wetland with soft, spongy ground of decaying plants called peat. They form because of poorly drained lake basins caused by glaciers.
Introduction.
This plant is he most common in bogs, It clogs them up ad forms a big layer on the top of them
Bogs
There are many types of bogs but are characterized in 5 main types.
Types of bogs
Bogs take hundreds to thousands of years to form. They are formed when plants block the drainage and the water fills up.
Blanket bogs
Blanket Bogs develop because of excessive rainfall. They cover all the hills and valleys, to create a big wetland.
Blanket bogs
Cataract Bogs
These bogs feature a freshwater stream, permanently.
Cataract bogs
Quaking bogs
Quaking bogs
These bogs develop over ponds or lakes, with vegetation growing on them. these bogs bounce when animals or plants walk on them, hence the name.
Raised bogs
Due to plant debris grouping in the center, the bog rases in the center causing a dome.
Raised bogs
Valley bogs
Valley bogs live between mountains, in valleys.
Valley Bogs
Bogs are home to both common and rare animals and plants.
Wildlife
- Amphibians such as Frogs and salamanders and newt are common in bogs.
- Endangered species of cranes also live and nest here
- Also found around and in bogs are mammals such as beavers, moose, racoons, and muskrats.
.
Animals
Insects and bugs are very common in Bogs, some of the common ones are:
- Pitcher-plant moth
- Bog copper butterfly
- Bog elfin
- Bog crickets
- Mosquitoes
- Black flies
- Carnivorous plants, such as the Pitcher plant,
Plants
- Berries such as cranberries, Blueberries, and huckleberries grow in and around bogs.
- Bogs are full of moss.
How is It an Ecosystem

Communities of living species
Communities of living species
Bogs are known to be habitats of many animal and plant species.
Peat in the bogs are food for the moose which are food for the wolves
Together with their environment
Interaction of animals and plants in bogs create food chains and expansion of many species of animals and plant.
Together with their Environment
Functions and Interacts as a Unit
If it weren't for the peat that stops the drainage then we wouldn't have bogs in the first place. But the moose and herbivores stop the peat from growing a lot by eating it. And wolves and other predators hunt moose so they do do not eat all the peat.
