It helps the plants to get established without being washed away.

用羊毛制的有助于泥炭的固定，使其不被冲走。

More absorbent moss means less flooding downstream, but their ambitions are much bigger.

因被羊毛包裹而更具吸水性的泥炭意味着下游的洪水更少，但项目发起者想要实现更大的目标。

The project has been using the wool of nearby sheep to create a sort of nest to grow sphagnum moss in.

这个项目一直在使用附近的绵羊毛来制作一种用于栽植泥炭的。

Peat bogs are mostly made of highly acidic Sphagnum mosses.

泥炭沼泽要由高酸性泥炭。

He divided the mosses into six genera: Mnium, Hypnum, Polytrichum, Bryum, Sphagnum and Lycopodium — classifications that are useful today.

他把类分为六个属：提灯属、灰属、金发属、真属、泥炭属和石松属，这些分类在今天仍然有用。

Some lycopods are still around today, like the low-lying, water-loving club mosses and quillworts.

一些石松类动今天仍然存在，比如地势低洼、喜水的泥炭和金针茅。

The peat moss that is used in many potting mixes, however, can take thousands of years to grow.

然而，许多盆栽混合中使用的泥炭可能需要数千年才能生长。

Since the 1800s people in Northern Europe have been aware of the ancient mummies that tend to pop up in and around the sphagnum bogs.

自 1800 年代以来，北欧的人们就已经意识到古代木乃伊往往会突然出现在泥炭沼泽中和周围。

These dead trees fall in turn, thus making a clearing, while sediments gradually accumulate changing the pond into a bog, or meadow, for a growth of carices and sphagnum.

这些枯树依次倒下，从而形空地，而沉积逐渐积累，将池塘变沼泽或草地，用于鲤鱼和泥炭的生长。

Sphagnum moss, also known as peat or bog moss, is used to increase the productivity of gardens; its habitats are home to rare wildlife and carbon reserves, but its use in horticulture is colossal.

泥炭（sphaghum moss）也叫泥炭苔或沼泽，它被用来提高花园的生产力；它的栖息地是稀有野生动和碳储备的家园，但它在园艺中的用途大得惊人。

Now most of these farms are hydroponic or aeroponic systems, which means that instead of using soil, they use a substitute material like polyurethane sponges, biodegradable peat moss and even use inorganic materials like perlite and clay pellets.

现在这些农场大多是水培或气培系统，这意味着他们不使用土壤，而是使用聚氨酯海绵、可生降解的泥炭等替代材料，甚至使用珍珠岩和粘土颗粒等无机材料。
