Peat moss, or sphagnum, adapts to wetlands through its unique ability to retain water, allowing it to thrive in saturated conditions. Its structure includes specialized cells that can hold large amounts of water, providing a habitat for various organisms and promoting anaerobic conditions that slow decomposition. Additionally, peat moss can tolerate acidic environments and low nutrient levels, making it well-suited for the often nutrient-poor conditions found in wetlands. This adaptation contributes to the formation of peat, which plays a vital role in carbon storage and ecosystem health.
