Coverage is international although there is a focus on boreal and north temperate peatlands. As well as thoroughly referencing the latest research, the authors expose a rich older literature where an immense repository of natural history has accumulated. The book begins with an overview of the main peatland types (marsh, swamp, fen and bog), which provides the basis for a deeper understanding of the subject. Chapters then follow on the diversity of the entire range of biota present (microbes, invertebrates, plan 410 0$aBiology of Habitats 606 $aPeatland ecology 606 $aPeatland plants 606 $aPeatlands 606 $aPeatland plants 606 $aPeatland ecology 606 $aPeatlands 606 $aGeography$2HILCC 606 $aBotany$2HILCC 606 $aEarth & Environmental Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aPlant Ecology$2HILCC 606 $aPhysical Geography$2HILCC 615 4$aPeatland ecology. 615 4$aPeatland plants. 615 4$aPeatlands. 615 0$aPeatland plants 615 0$aPeatland ecology 615 0$aPeatlands 615 7$aGeography 615 7$aBotany 615 7$aEarth & Environmental Sciences 615 7$aPlant Ecology 615 7$aPhysical Geography 676 $a577.687 700 $aRydin$b Hakan$01534380 701 $aJeglum$b John K$01534381 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784768603321 996 $aThe Biology of Peatlands$93781853 997 $aUNINA
