A Focus on Peatlands and Peat Mosses
Examines the fens and bogs of the upper Midwest, with a taxonomic treatment of peat mosses
The Sphagnaceae Or Peat-mosses of Europe and North America
Moose, Sphagnum
Peat Mosses of the Southeastern United States
"Sphagnum, commonly known as peat moss, is widely used in agriculture, horticulture, and floriculture. Living plants are colorful and add much to the beauty of wetlands. It takes little training to recognize the genus, and most of the sections are almost as easy to recognize. Yet they are scarcely noticed by field botanists, and even bryologists tend to avoid them; they have a reputation of being taxonomically difficult but this applies only to a subset. There are few taxonomic treatments of Sphagnum in North America, yet it is a fascinating genus whose species comprise an integral part of nearly all fresh-water wetlands. Almost all significant critical taxonomic characters are microscopic and require dissections and staining, which can, with a little practice, be easily self-taught. Even with a moderate amount of field experience, however, a novice can learn to recognize sections and some species in the field with certainty (although there are many species that even experts cannot distinguish without a compound microscope). All field identifications need to be confirmed microscopically. This volume will aid those who venture into identifying peat mosses."--Publisher's description.
Field Guide to the Peat Mosses of Boreal North America
This handbook contains identification details, colour photographs and field keys to major species of peat mosses or sphagnum in the boreal regions of Canada and the United States.
