Wildlife & Heritage Service - Coastal Plain Bogs in Maryland Bogs are open, acidic, nutrient-poor wetlands with sphagnum moss, heath shrubs, wildflowers, and often with insect-eating plants. Bogs form when a mat of vegetation, especially sphagnum moss and sedges, develops on the edge of a pond, lake, wetlands, or slow-moving stream, and eventually grows over the surface of the water. Bogs are so well suited to the growth of cranberries that they are widely used in the northern states to grow the tart fruit commercially. www.dnr.state.md.us /wildlife/bogs.html   (2554 words)
