“…Similar bryophyte replacement series are apparent across the boreal forest and are documented in Alaska (Drury, 1956;Heilman, 1966;Viereck, 1970), northern Minnesota (Heinselman, 1963, 1970, northern Michigan (Cooper, 1912), Quebec and Ontario (Auer, 1933), Alberta (Lewis and Dowding, 1926;Lewis etaf., 1928), and Fennoscandia (Siren, 1955). As Sphagnum assumes dominance, there occurs an increase in the thickness and moisture content of the organic horizon and a concomitant decrease in pH, soil temperature, decomposition rates, nutrient availability, and stand productivity (Foster,I983a).…”

“…Observations of this process in southeastern Labrador suggest that this replacement sequence finds parallels in a variety of habitats in which various species groups are involved. As many studies suggest that Sphagnum is of critical importance in vegetation development (Lewis and Dowding, 1926;Wenner, 1947;Tansley, 1949;Swan and Gill, 1970;Walker, 1970;, an investigation of Sphagnum succession should help to elucidate the long-term dynamics of these communities and the role that individual Sphagnum species play in community development.…”

“…Group 2 consists of Typha-dominated deep marsh stands that are similar in species composition to Scirpus-Typha reed swamp vegetation identified by Lewis et al (1928), Moss (1953), and a Typha latifolia-Lemna minor open fen vegetation described from central Saskatchewan by Jeglum (1972). Group 2 is intermediate between emergent deep marsh and shallow marsh as defined by Shay and Shay (1986).…”

“…In Alberta it was reported that 11 sprouts about a foot tall were attached at various points along a 32-foot root (24)." This reference, in turn, is to Lewis et al (1928) who commented on the tendency for a linear arrangement of larch stems on bogs, and of their roots which run from tree to tree and form "slightly raised ridges" or "banks ...( that) rise about 18 inches (46 cm) above the intervening open spaces". They described, however, one case where "several individual seedling larch trees arose from one long root, no less than 11 seedlings about 1 ft. (30 cm.)…”
