During the El Niño-event in 1997–1998 more than 24,400 km 2 [2] of peatland was lost to fires in Indonesia alone from which 10,000 km 2 was burnt in Kalimantan and Sumatra. The output of CO 2 was estimated to 0.81–2.57 Gt, equal to 13–40% of that year's global output from fossil fuel burning.

[1] [2] It is one of the main types of wetland along with marshes, swamps, and bogs. Bogs and fens, both peat-forming ecosystems , are also known as mires . [ 2 ] The unique water chemistry of fens is a result of the ground or surface water input.
While a cataract bog is host to plants typical of a bog, it is technically a fen, not a bog. Bogs get water from the atmosphere, while fens get their water from groundwater seepage. [11] Cataract bogs inhabit a narrow, linear zone next to the stream, and are partly shaded by trees and shrubs in the adjacent plant communities. [12]
Bubbles of methane, created by methanogens, that are present in the marsh, more commonly known as marsh gas. Marsh gas, also known as swamp gas or bog gas, is a mixture primarily of methane and smaller amounts of hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and trace phosphine that is produced naturally within some geographical marshes, swamps, and bogs.
A bog or bogland is a wetland that accumulates peat as a deposit of dead plant materials – often mosses, typically sphagnum moss. [1] It is one of the four main types of wetlands . Other names for bogs include mire , mosses, quagmire, and muskeg ; alkaline mires are called fens .
Stillwater Bog - a sphagnum bog in Snoqualmie, Washington. Home to threatened species such as few-flowered sedge, mountain bladderwort, and state-candidate Beller's ground beetle. [2] Tannersville Cranberry Bog - a sphagnum bog in Pennsylvania; Tom S. Cooperrider-Kent Bog State Nature Preserve - A 42-acre (170,000 m 2) bog in Kent, Ohio
It is dominated by a wet cypress forest, but while "few giant cypress remain...one third of the swamp is covered with dwarf pond cypress." [ 11 ] It is host to an array of flora and fauna, including mangroves , orchids , alligators , crocodiles , venomous snakes like the cottonmouth and eastern diamondback rattlesnake , a variety of birds ...
