Muskeg is a complex of wetland types that typically occur in cool, northern climates such as boreal forests. ...The colloquial, and widely misunderstood, term muskeg is used to refer to the complex mosaic of fens, bogs, swamps and pools, and scrubby forest that becomes increasingly common to the north ... Peatmoss is the common factor of muskeg and is where the term peatland is derived from. Pieces of herbs, shrubs and wood, such as buried tree branches, roots, or whole trees, can also make up a portion of the organic soil. Sphagnum moss is the mainstay of muskeg. It soaks up and holds several times its own weight in water. In the process, it keeps water from draining through the soil.  4, record 2, English, - muskeg
