Bog
A bog is a standing body of water with no underground spring of fresh water to feed it. The water is generally cold, extremely acidic and low in oxygen. A form of moss, especially Sphagnum moss, grows and forms a thick mat of floating plants. These plants, over time, can fill in the pond or small lake with peat that will eventually be firm enough to support trees
