The alteration, fragmentation, and finally loss, of natural habitats are the major causes of the increasingly rapid decline in overall biotic diversity on Earth (Burgess & Sharpe, 1981; Harris, 1984; Saunders et al., 1987). Usually the effects are measur
A salt-marsh plant lives in a physiologically dry habitat; desert plants live in a physically dry locality, and though the environments differ they induce a similar reaction on the part of the two sets of plants. Peat-bogs afford another example of a physiologically dry habitat : the abund-...

Peat, spongy material formed by the partial decomposition of organic matter, primarily plant material, in wetlands. The formation of peat is the first step in the formation of coal. Peat can be used as a fuel and is only a minor contributor to the world
Furthermore, other menacing practices, such as deforestation, are also dispelling carbon preserved within plant matter. It is also mitigating the number of plants available to capture and store it, particularly in tropical rainforests and peat bogs. ...
the fire is a skill of the maltster,who knows the required amount of peat to be burned.The suppliers of peat are becoming hard to find,since in Scotland it is now impossible to develop new bogs.This presents a threat to the whisky industry that is neither justified nor fully appreciated....
The reintroduction of S. lapponum in the site ultimately chosen proved satisfactory with respect to plant survival. This was the first trial of this type conducted in peat bogs situated in eastern Poland. We believe that in addition to sound knowledge of the biology and ecology of the species...
