Sphagnum ericaceous shrubs, as well as orchids and carnivorous plants. "Sphagnum" and the peat formed from it do not decay readily because of the phenolic compounds embedded in the moss's cell walls. In addition, bogs, like all wetlands, develop anaerobic soil conditions, which produces slower anaerobic decay rather than aerobic microbial action. Peat moss can also acidify its surroundings by taking up cations, such as calcium and magnesium, and releasing hydrogen ions. Under the right conditions, peat can accumulate to a depth of many meters. Different species of "Sphagnum" have different tolerance limits for flooding and pH, so any one peatland
Adam Moss were hired by "The New York Times." According to Wolff in his "New York" magazine profile: "It is hard to overstate what kind of magazine-world hero Moss became with "7 Days" and its particular pop-culture idiom, and what kind of success failure can be." A 2003 profile of Moss in the Oberlin alumni magazine notes, "Concepts introduced by Moss in "7 Days" would later insinuate themselves into "The Times" (take the wedding narratives in the Sunday Styles section; visceral stuff cleverly packaged)."
