Bogs Sphagnum Ericaceae Sarraceniaceae
Sphagnum Moss Note distinct “heads”. Sphagnum gains cations (nutrients) and acidifies the water through cation exchange.
Sphagnum moss The stalks with capsules are the sporophytes Note distinct “heads” at ends of stems. Capsules are audibly explosive-- developing pressures of up to 2 atm and dispersing spores as far as 15 cm! .
Contents of capsule shrink causing pressure build up, the spores are discharge all at once-- EXPLOSIVELY
Sphagnum at 1,000 fps >15cm heights
Sphagnum capsule at 10,000 fps Sphagnum’s air gun is very effective: Velocity = 13 m/s = 29 mph!! Acceleration > 105 g Timescale < 1/30,000 s Pressure ~ 5 atm ??
