IPCC Bogland Reserve: Scragh Bog Nature Reserve, Co. Westmeath

A small Sphagnum hummock on the surface of Scragh Bog, Co Westmeath, surrounded by fen vegetation. Sphagnum hummocks such as this demonstrate the start of the transition process from fen to raised bog which can be observed on Scragh bog. Species occurring on the hummock include cranberry, ling heather and devils bit scabious.
