Bogs are most abundant in the Northern Hemisphere, especially in a broad belt including the northern part of the deciduous forest zone and the central and southern parts of the boreal forest zone. Farther south, and in drier climates farther inland, they become sporadic and restricted to specialized habitats. To the north, peatlands controlled by mineral soil water (aapa mires) replace them as the dominant wetlands.
Bogs are much less extensive in the Southern Hemisphere because there is little land in cold temperate latitudes. In these Southern Hemisphere peatlands, Sphagnum is much less important, and Epacridaceae and Restionaceae replace the Ericaceae and Cyperaceae of the Northern Hemisphere.

Partially decayed plant matter found in bogs is called peat. Peat forms when organic material accumulates and is not fully decomposed due to waterlogged conditions in bogs, creating an important source of fuel and for ecological processes.
Organisms that live under bogs include specialized plant species like sphagnum moss and carnivorous plants, as well as fungi, bacteria, and various invertebrates such as insects and worms. These organisms have adaptations to the acidic, waterlogged conditions found in bogs.
Bogs have acidic and low-oxygen environments, which slows down the decay process by inhibiting bacteria and fungi that typically break down organic matter. This low rate of decomposition, coupled with the cold temperatures and preservative properties of the bog water, can lead to excellent preservation of bodies found in bogs.
Cranberries are a popular fruit that grow in swampy bogs. They are native to North America and thrive in wet, acidic soil conditions found in bogs. The plants grow close to the ground and produce tart red berries that are commonly used in cooking and baking.
Usually in bogs and other swampy areas where nitrate levels in the soil are very low.
100% of bogs cover the earth - they are not found underground, under the oceans, nor in space!

You may be referring to bogs, though not all bogs are swampy or low, as some bogs are in mountains as well as lowland areas.
Ireland has a lot of peat bogs, with about one-sixth of the country covered in peatlands. Peat bogs are also commonly found in countries with a cool, wet climate like Finland, Russia, and Canada.
Uncle Jeff and I found a mummified gater.
Animals commonly found in bogs include insects like craneflies and dragonflies, amphibians like frogs and salamanders, and small mammals like otters and minks. These animals have adapted to thrive in the unique conditions of bogs, such as the acidic water and low nutrient levels. Many bird species also frequent bogs, such as various types of waterfowl and songbirds.
Peat occurs in former bogs and swamps. Ireland is famous for its peat.

Moss can be found in bogs and swamps and in many countries is used as a form of fuel. There is many types of mosses, one type is called Sphagnum.

some people just fell in the bogs ,others were sacrificed and left in the bogs.
