Description: Heath Pond Bog in New Hajmpshire, USA is an outstanding, classic example of a kettle hole bog system. An open water center is ringed by narrow band of liverwort - horned bladderwort mud-bottom community, which in turn is surrounded by a slightly wider zone of Sphagnum rubellum - small cranberry moss carpet. These concentric zones are all embedded within about 6 acres of an open leatherleaf - sheep laurel dwarf shrub bog natural community. Scattered larch and black spruce trees occur across the surface of the bog system. There is a greater variety of bog plants here than at any other peatland in the state.
