Sphagnum Baltic Is a peat moss of the section Cuspidata from the department of deciduous moss (Bryophyta). It will be in the German -speaking world Baltic peat moss called. [first]

Appearance, sheet and microscopic features [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

The Baltic peat moss is a small to normal peat moss with more or less weak stems and five-beamed, flat heads. It can have brown-green, yellow-green, yellowish to golden brown colors in the case of a brownish basic color. Usually it happens scattered, occasionally small upholstery. [2]

The stems show a light green to brown color and are sometimes reddish in the astan sets. The trunk end fabric consists of two to three layers of normal thin -walled and different cells.

The triangular-tongue-shaped to tongue-shaped and concave parent leaves with a length of 0.8 to 1.1 millimeters are removed from the trunk. The upper end is wide -angled. The hyalocytes are reinforced in this area.

On the trunk, the two protruding branches and usually a hanging branch in fascinating or host-like branches. They are slim, rejuvenating and often five -row, whereas the leaves are somewhat extended in the end. The bark of the green aust stem is enlarged by significant return cells.

The 1.0 to 1.7 millimeter long branches are egg-shaped and lanceolate, straight, slightly corrugated and spreading with a full-line leaf edge. The hyalocytes of the convex leaf side have one to five locking cells on the cell ends and are without locking cells on the top. On the concave surface there are round, locking cells -like wall turns on the cell ends and cell corners. The chlorocytes are shown in the triangular leaf cross section and are locked on the concave surface.

Gender characteristics [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

The sexual orientation is the diocese or two -housed form of gender distribution. The spore capsules of the Baltic peat moss mature in late summer. The spores measure about 25 to 33 micrometers and are smooth to finely papillous on both surfaces.

The Baltic peat moss occurs in North America, North Asia and Europe at Schlenken in raised bogs and nutrient -poor swamps. The distribution area in North America includes Greenland, the majority of Canada and the American Alaska and Colorado. The focus of European occurrence is in northern Europe. [3] In Germany, the Baltic peat moss is rare [first] and spreads scattered in northern German lowlands. The Baltic Torfmoos in the German Alpine region can be found very rarely. For example, there are other European occurrences in Austria [4] and Switzerland. [5]

The overall peat moss overall is very endangered by the destruction of their habitats. The approach to recording the hazard and the creation of protective measures therefore takes place at the genre level and thus includes the Baltic peat moss.

Sphagnum Baltic was in 1890 by Christian Erasmus Otterstrøm Jensen in Botanical Association in Copenhagen, Festskrift. P. 100 first described. Synonyms are Sphagnum boreale Russow , Sphagnum curved subsp. Balticum Russow and Sphagnum ruppinense Warnst. [6]
