Why do peat bogs decompose slowly?
Type of wetland where decomposition is slowed down and dead plant matter accumulates as peat. Bogs develop under conditions of low temperature, high acidity, low nutrient supply, stagnant water, and oxygen deficiency. Typical bog plants are sphagnum moss, rushes, and cotton grass; insectivorous plants such as sundews and bladderworts are common in bogs (insect prey make up for the lack of nutrients). Low temperatures - slow decay High Acidity - slow decay, reduces vectors, and kills bacteria Low nutrient supply, stagnant water, and oxygen deficiency - reduce predators, scavengers, and vectors.
