For day 5 of #12DaysOfXmas with #YorkshireCelebrities as #peatland wildlife, Bradford's Kimberley Walsh is serving bryophytic realness with Sphagnum austinii. This was the dominant peat-forming sphagnum in Yorkshire before pollution wiped it out in the industrial revolution. Time for a comeback?

A rarity!
Austin’s Bog Moss at Gors Goch.
Sphagnum austinii is found in undisturbed sites in raised and blanket bog. Of significant conservation concern across Europe, in Wales it's know at only two peatland sites.

Sphagnum species can also be ranked according to their ability to form peat. For example, hummock forming species such as Sphagnum austinii and Sphagnum fuscum have a high peat forming capacity.
