Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Southern Upland Grass-Sedge Bog: An Ecological Study This community and habitat cannot properly be described by the very indefinite terms savannah or prairie. Neither do such terms as flat woods and wet or low pine barrens (for the forested portion), or grassy open grounds, used by many earlier writers adequately con vey conceptions of the true nature of both community and habitat. Yet the real nature may fully and quickly be reached when the familiar term bog is applied to this and its related ecological situation. It will be abundantly shown in the data constituting the body of this paper that these extensive areas in the southern coastal plain are upland bogs. The particular community and habitat, intensively studied, is of especial interest because it is an example of a mature and stabilized upland grass-sedge bog forming a subclimax. This fact is naturally of great significance in relation to the study. Of succession in the region. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
