April, 2009. Montcalm County, MI. Bog is a nutrient-poor peatland characterized by acidic, saturated peat and the prevalence of sphagnum mosses and ericaceous shrubs. Fire and flooding are the main natural disturbance factors. Bogs occur in kettle depressions on pitted outwash and moraines and in flat areas and shallow depressions on glacial outwash and glacial lakeplain. The overall topography of bogs is flat to gently undulating with microtopography characterized by hummocks and hollows. Because of the nutrient-poor peat, carnivorous plants make a dwelling in these habitats. Sundew (Drosera rotundifolia), Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia purpurea), and Bladderwort (Utricularia intermedia) are common. These mossy habitats also provide refuge for one of Michigan's less common salamanders, the Four-toed Salamander.
Bog gardens help enhance any filtration system and reduce the maintenance required for a clear water experience that is aesthically pleasing.
