Introduction To BOG
Bogs form where plants invade lakes and pools, and where waterlogged conditions prevent those plants from decomposing once they have died. As a result, their remains build up to form peat. Once the peat has begun to accumulate, the plants that grow on its surface - such as Sphagnum mosses - steadily add to it as they die. In blanket bogs, the peat forms connected pockets. In raised bogs, it forms a large dome that can be over 1 km (0.5 miles) across.
