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

因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。

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，来提高花园的生产力；的栖息地是稀有野生动物和碳储备的家园，但在园艺中的途大得惊人。

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

羊毛制成的巢状物有助于泥炭的固定，使其不冲走。

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：提灯、灰、发、真、泥炭和石松，这些分类在今天仍然有。

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

这个项目一直在使附近的绵羊毛来制作一种于栽植泥炭的巢状物。

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.

现在这些农场大多采水培或气培系统，这意味着们不使土壤， 而是使替代材料，如聚氨酯海绵、可生物降解的泥炭， 甚至使无机材料如珍珠岩和陶粒。

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，从而形成空地，而沉积物逐渐积累，将池塘变成沼泽或草地，于鲤鱼和泥炭的生长。

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。

Pounds and pounds of peat moss cover the uneven ground and fill the air with dust.

成吨的泥炭覆盖着不平坦的地面，空气中弥漫着尘土。
