A Level Playing Field: Why are Peatlands Important? Where are Peatlands in New Hampshire? Climate Vulnerabilities for Peatlands Increased temperature may result in increased decomposition rates, causing peat mats to decay more rapidly, and resulting in a loss of peatland habitat, and possible conversion to marsh Extended periods of drought may further promote increased decomposition.

Damming of streams flowing in or out of a peatland will change water level patterns and can lead to damage to the peat mat and changes in vegetation. Although most peatlands are not traditional waterfowl habitat, they are unique habitats in their own right for a wide variety of animals and plants. Peatland communities should not be excavated to create open water areas for waterfowl.

Avoid repeated trampling of peatland vegetation. Trails for these vehicles should be located at least feet from any peatland to deter drivers from entering. Some wildlife species live in the Sphagnum and are sensitive to repeated trampling, including bog lemmings and boghaunter larvae. Avoid public access near rare plants, especially orchids. Collectors can decimate populations.

Insects that depend on the bog plants will therefore lose their habitat. New Hampshire Fish and Game tracks all sightings of rare animals. For land conservation efforts to successfully protect peatland wildlife, uplands surrounding peatlands need to be protected as well.

A foot buffer of upland, undisturbed by human development or agriculture, protects water resources and habitat for many species. Timber harvesting in peatlands should be limited to selection, thinning, or some other partial harvest , and restricted to periods of frozen ground and snow cover.

Understand and follow all laws pertaining to the harvesting of trees near wetlands and peatlands. Follow established Best Management Practices, and harvest timber near wetlands only when the soils are either frozen winter or very dry summer. Charles Johnson, a Vermont State naturalist, combines in-depth scientific knowledge with the wonder of place, and in doing so helps us understand the ecological conditions that make the sensorium of peat bogs real and memorable.
