Raised Bogs Project, said it was a "great result" - though still short of the record count of 155 in 2009.
Drivers of peat accumulation rate in a
raised bog: impact of drainage, climate, and local vegetation composition.
The Colour of Climate: Changes in Peat Decomposition as a Proxy for Climate Change--a Study of
Raised Bogs in South-central Sweden.
There are some issues which still need objective studies: (1) water losses from the lake basin to recharge deep groundwater aquifers; (2) scale and seasonal variations of water runoff from the
raised bog into the lake and the drains; (3) possible impact of exploitable peat deposit drainage on water regime in the adjacent
raised bog and the lake.
The bog, typical of the
Raised Bog formation as defined by Costin et al.
Because decomposition proceeds more slowly in the more acidic environment of the bog-centre than at its margins, the accumulation of decay-resistant sphagnum eventually raises the surface to produce a domed or
raised bog with a convex profile in a process known as paludification.

Peat domes rise 23 feet above the land, which is why it is called a
raised bog.
