QUÉ SIGNIFICA MUSKEG EN INGLÉS
Muskeg
Muskeg es un tipo de suelo ácido común en las zonas árticas y boreales, aunque también se encuentra en otros climas del norte. Muskeg es aproximadamente sinónimo de bogland, pero muskeg es el término estándar en el oeste de Canadá y Alaska, mientras que "bog" es común en otros lugares. El término se hizo común en estas áreas porque es de origen Cree; Maskek que significa pantano bajo. Las grandes extensiones de este suelo existentes en Siberia pueden ser llamadas muskeg o bogland intercambiablemente. Muskeg consiste en plantas muertas en varios estados de descomposición, que van desde el musgo esfagno bastante intacto, hasta la turbera sedge, hasta el humus altamente descompuesto. Piezas de madera pueden representar entre el cinco y el 15 por ciento del suelo de turba. Muskeg tiende a tener una mesa de agua cerca de la superficie. El musgo de sphagnum que lo forma puede sostener 15 a 30 veces su propio peso en agua, permitiendo que el muskeg mojado esponjoso se forme en tierra que se inclina. Muskeg parches son los hábitats ideales para castores, plantas de jarra, champiñones agaric y una variedad de otros organismos.
