This is a list of bogs, wetland mires that accumulate peat from dead plant material, usually sphagnum moss.Keddy, P.A. 2010. [https://www.amazon.com/Wetland-Ecology-Conservation-Paul-Keddy/dp/0521739675 Wetland Ecology: Principles and Conservation] (2nd edition). Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK. Bogs are sometimes called quagmires (technically all bogs are quagmires while not all quagmires are necessarily bogs) and the soil which composes them is sometimes referred to as muskeg; alkaline mires are called fens rather than bogs.
