This is a list of bogs , wetland mires that accumulate peat from dead plant material, usually sphagnum moss .[1] Bogs are sometimes called quagmires (technically all bogs are quagmires while not all quagmires are necessarily bogs) and the soil which composes them is sometimes referred to as muskeg ; alkaline mires are called fens rather than bogs.
Luhasoo bog in Estonia . The mire has tussocks of heather, and is being colonised by pine trees.
