Atlantic front Specieswatch Around the world

Left to its own devices, Sphagnum

fallax , together with a large number

of close relatives, will form dense

mats of plants on wet ground and

become deep peat bogs.

These bogs create a habitat for a

vast number of creatures. The most

prominent are dragonfl ies and frogs

but there are literally thousands of

others, mostly microscopic.

The bogs that sphagnum mosses

dominate have imaginatively been

described as Britain’s equivalent of

the Amazon rain forest. Sphagnums

are at least as important as trees in

storing carbon because when the

plants die they sink and become

the familiar black peat, locking

up carbon for hundreds, often

thousands of years.

The mosses hold up to eight times

their own weight in water, curtailing

fl oods. They also work to fi lter water

as it enters streams helping aquatic

life such as salmon and trout thrive.

So it is ironic th at Britons’ love

of gardening is destroying these

mosses by the use of peat to grow

their favourite plants. A voluntary

code by nurseries and gardeners to

phase out peat is not working.

By continuing to use peat in vast

quantities, the horticulture industry

is helping to alter the climate and

kill the gardens their customers are

trying to create. Paul Brown
