Detailed explanation-1: -Muskegs primarily occur on broad, flat areas or mild depressions of glacial outwash and glacial lakeplains but can also be found in large depressions on pitted outwash and moraines.
Detailed explanation-2: -Muskegs are defined as acidic northern peatlands having generally 10-25% cover of trees, usually stunted black spruce and tamarack. They are similar to open bogs but can be distinguished as having more than 10% cover of trees. Muskegs often grade into black spruce swamps, which have over 25% cover of trees.
Detailed explanation-3: -Muskeg (from Cree maskek and Ojibwe mashkiig, meaning “grassy bog”) is a type of northern landscape characterized by a wet environment, vegetation and peat deposits.
Detailed explanation-4: -Muskeg consists of non-living organic material in various states of decomposition (as peat), ranging from fairly intact sphagnum moss, to sedge peat, to highly decomposed humus. Pieces of wood can make up five to fifteen percent of the peat soil.
