Peatlands are unique ecosystems characterized by waterlogged conditions that lead to the accumulation of peat, a type of organic material formed from decaying plant matter. These areas are typically found in cool, wet climates and can store large amounts of carbon, making them important for climate regulation. Peatlands support diverse plant and animal species, including sphagnum moss and various birds. There are two main types of peatlands: bogs and fens. Bogs are acidic and nutrient-poor, while fens are more alkaline and nutrient-rich. Both types play a crucial role in water filtration and provide habitats for wildlife, contributing to biodiversity and ecosystem health.
