Description
The significance of the peat bogs, due to their intrinsic characteristics (mode, time of formation, rarity) should be emphasised: the presence in them of undecomposed organic material (pollen, logs, etc.) makes them take on the important role of witnesses to past eras.
The floristic presence is of great importance, including rare species present here in abundance: Andromeda polifolia and Vaccinium microcarpum, both glacial relicts, form a dense carpet on the sphagnum, together with species typical of these formations such as Carex pauciflora, Vaccinium uliginosum, Vaccinium vitis - idaea, Calluna vulgaris, Drosera rotundifolia etc.
Part of the peat bog is also colonised by a dense thicket of dwarf pine (Pinus mugo), a frequent occurrence in raised bogs, also in relation to the special microclimatic conditions.
The development of the sphagnum peat bogs, which began after the glaciations, actually covered a large area, which is now largely enclosed by forest. The peat areas therefore form a continuum even within the woodland included in the biotope, constituting a complex of great naturalistic interest.
