Made this terrarium with red sphagnum moss and Sonerila sp. Dark Glow (Codonoboea cf. pumila), creating a vivid contrast of texture and color.

🌱 Unique eco-evolutionary aspects of #SphagnumMoss

Sphagnum moss can absorb up to 20x its weight in water.
It filters, holds, and slows water — making it a natural flood barrier and water purifier.

One of Nature’s smallest, most powerful tools.

Moorlands #infiltrate huge amounts of water. However, when they're eroded due to pollution, over grazing and drainage, surface water #runoff is increased.
Moorland restoration focuses on stabilising peat, encouraging #SphagnumMoss and re-wetting the #moorland💧 🔗 thefloodhub.co.uk/wp-content/u...

A Good News story (finally! ;-)

With #habitatrestoratio (really more like habitat relocation) of its #peatbog & #sphagnummoss habitat in #CumbriaUK, the #White-faceddarter is being given a second home & second chance.

Sphagnum Moss was collected from the peat bogs on Warblaw to use as wound dressings during both World Wars.

It's cold up on the moors at the moment, but that didn't stop our brilliant group of volunteers coming out with us this week, to plant sphagnum moss on Snailsden Moor. They planted a magnificent 4,000 plugs that will help the moor on it's journey towards recovery #sphagnummoss #peatlandsmatter

Palus Demos is launched! This €10m #HorizonEurope #paludiculture project is a revolution in #farming that will bring profitable #agriculture to wetlands - which are more efficient at #carboncapture than the rainforests.

Living by the bog has it's benefits. 💚💛🌱🌲
I heard Sphagnum moss sequesters more carbon, and produces more oxygen than any plant.

I think it changes red, and orange in the fall in areas of more exposure.

Years ago, colleagues in the #Netherlands cleared out doublets. Nannie Wiegmann thought I might like them (Indeed!). Today I found the prove that #sphagnummoss was used as dressing material there as well. 🤩 (Nolst Trenité 1903, 4th ed. Handboek der #Ziekenverpleging. #Amsterdam, Van Heteren: 261)
