Blanket Bogs
What is a blanket bog?
Blanket bogs are areas of wet peat-land that are fed exclusively by rainwater. Peat is a waterlogged soil that is composed of compacted partially decomposed vegetable matter. In the UK, blanket bog vegetation typically includes Sphagnum mosses, heather Calluna vulgaris, cross-leaved heath Erica tetralix, deer grass Trichophorum cespitosum, and cotton grasses Eriophorum spp.
