O QUE SIGNIFICA MUSKEG EM INGLÊS
Muskeg
Muskeg é um tipo de solo ácido comum nas áreas ártica e boreal, embora também seja encontrado em outros climas do norte. Muskeg é aproximadamente sinônimo de bogland, mas muskeg é o termo padrão no oeste do Canadá e no Alasca, enquanto "bog" é comum em outros lugares. O termo tornou-se comum nestas áreas porque é de origem Cree; Maskek significa pântano baixo. Grandes extensões deste solo existentes na Sibéria podem ser chamados de muskeg ou bogland de forma intercambiável. Muskeg consiste em plantas mortas em vários estados de decomposição, variando de musgo sphagnum bastante intacto, para seduzir turfa, até humus altamente decomposto. Peças de madeira podem representar cinco a 15 por cento do solo da turfa. Muskeg tende a ter uma mesa de água perto da superfície. O musgo sphagnum que o forma pode conter 15 a 30 vezes o seu próprio peso na água, permitindo que o muskeg molhado esponjoso se forme em piso inclinado. Os manchas Muskeg são habitats ideais para castores, plantas de cera, cogumelos de agaric e uma variedade de outros organismos.
