To understand the distinction we first need to understand the source. The thing is, it’s all from the same type of source anyway – peat bogs. ![]() There’s well over 300 species, but because they’re so similar you’ll still see everything sold under the umbrella label of “sphagnum moss.” Asides from the source/location, I’ve never seen anyone selling specific species of Sphagnum. ![]() Technically though, Sphagnum is actually a genus of plants – and a large one at that. Thanks to its many positive qualities, it’s commonly used to grow or mount plants of all kinds, and has made itself an essential part of terrarium substrates. Vegetation cover was extracted from maps made in 19.In the horticultural world, sphagnum moss is more of a material/tool than a plant. Deliberate tap water discharge also stopped in the 1960s. Interventions to reduce pollution were (a) construction of a sewage system in the 1960s and (b) pumping of tap water leakage from 2003. Historically, the lake under the bog was polluted by sewage from a hospital, discharge/leakage of tap water from a purification plant and runoff from a road. Of nine abundant vascular plant species, cover of three decreased (including sedge Carex thunbergii and bogbean Menyanthes trifoliata), cover of three increased (including swamp millet Isachne globosa) and cover of three did not change (including common reed Phragmites australis). The area of moss mats (dominated by feathery bog moss Sphagnum cuspidatum) increased from 420 m 2 to 1,010 m 2. Between 19, the area of moss hummocks (containing blunt-leaved bog moss Sphagnum palustre) increased from 5,900 m 2 to 8,500 m 2. ![]() Cover of vascular plant species showed mixed responses. 2010) found that after removing polluting water sources (sewage and tap water), cover of Sphagnum moss increased.
