Sphagnum mosses are small plants of the division of Bryophyta that are widespread and abundant in peatlands and several other types of wetlands. About sixty species of Sphagnum mosses are known for the territories of Quebec, Labrador and the Maritimes (with the exception of the island of Newfoundland). However, it can be laborious to identify these plants to the species taxonomic level. This book provides a unique dichotomous key for a visual identification of Sphagnum mosses that will help to demystify the lingo used in botany. To make it easier for identifiers, it also presents ways to recognize species in the field, notes about their habitats, and distribution maps. This document will be useful to ecologists, foresters, biologists and geographers involved in environmental management, as well as stakeholders responsible for managing the natural resources they protect or exploit. This guide is also intended as a tool for any naturalist or botanist working east of the Rockies, or in the Canadian Arctic. The botanists of the United States will find this document useful for the Sphagnum mosses found in Northern States or in the region of New England.

Provides an overview of 20 Sphagnum species known to occur in north-western Ontario, and includes two identification keys and additional descriptions that summarize each species' general appearance and habitat preferences. The resulting system for identifying Sphagnum species is intended for use as a field tool. Species descriptions include a short general description of each plant, a brief summary of its geographic distribution and common habitat relations, miscellaneous comments regarding other similar taxa or common associates in some habitats, a list of common names and taxonomic synonyms that might be used in other publications consulted during the identification process, and line illustrations of important taxonomic features referred to in the keys. Includes glossary.

This is the first truly ecosystem-oriented book on peatlands. It adopts an ecosystems approach to understanding the world's boreal peatlands. The focus is on biogeochemical patterns and processes, production, decomposition, and peat accumulation, and it provides additional information on animal and fungal diversity. A recurring theme is the legacy of boreal peatlands as impressive accumulators of carbon as peat over millennia.
