About Bogs and Fens
Photos of bogs and fens.
According to the Canadian Wetland Classification system...
bog characteristics.... Dense layer of peat; acidic; low nutrient content; water table at or near the surface; usually covered with mosses, shrubs and sedges; trees possibly present.
fen characteristics.... Covered with peat; water table at or near the surface; higher nutrient content than bogs; vegetation usually characterized by sedges and grasses; trees and shrubs may or may not be present
To me, they both have very shallow water (centimetres) with vegetation at the surface almost year round.
So if you've got photos, post them here.
