I love bogs for a million reasons. Meet Sphagnum, the beautiful peat mosses. Did you know they are killers? They fling acid/protons into their environment, making life difficult for other plants. This slows decay, stores carbon, and turns bogs into archives and storytellers.
August 15th 2022, a historical moment in the country’s research history: lease transfer of @ScottyResearch to @liidliikue now becoming one of the firsts indigenous led research station in the country. Here we witness a merge between scientists, students and community 🧪
