Bogs and fens are both types of peatlands characterized by waterlogged conditions and the accumulation of organic material, particularly peat. They both support unique ecosystems with specific plant species adapted to wet, acidic environments. However, while bogs are typically nutrient-poor and acidic, fens are generally more nutrient-rich and less acidic, often supporting a different variety of vegetation. Both play important roles in carbon storage and water regulation in their respective environments.
