dc.descriptionSphagnum (peat moss) biomass provides a GHG-neutral alternative to fossil peat in professional horticulture. So far however, it has only been collected in the wild. Small-scale land-based Sphagnum farming is currently practiced on degraded peatlands. Sphagnum farming has also been tested on specially constructed floating mats that guarantee a constant water supply. This water–based cultivation allows bog waters to be used as reservoirs to irrigate cultivated areas in dry periods.
