Accumulations ___MASK59___ " Sphagnum " can store water , since both living and dead plants can hold large quantities ___MASK59___ water inside their cells ; plants may hold 16  26 times as much water as their dry weight , depending on the species . The empty cells help retain water in drier conditions . Hence , as sphagnum ___MASK98___ grows , it can slowly spread into drier conditions , forming larger mires , both raised bogs and blanket bogs . These peat accumulations then provide habitat for a wide array ___MASK59___ peatland plants , including sedges and ericaceous shrubs , as well as orchids and carnivorous plants . " Sphagnum " and the peat formed from it do not decay readily because ___MASK59___ the phenolic compounds embedded in the ___MASK98___ ' s cell walls . In addition , bogs , like all wetlands , develop anaerobic soil conditions , which produces slower anaerobic decay rather than aerobic microbial action . Peat ___MASK98___ can also acidify its surroundings by taking up cations , such as calcium and magnesium , and releasing hydrogen ions . Under the right conditions , peat can accumulate to a depth ___MASK59___ many meters . Different species ___MASK59___ " Sphagnum " have different tolerance limits for flooding and pH , so any one peatland may have a number ___MASK59___ different " Sphagnum " species . ___MASK13___ America is a continent entirely within the ___MASK11___ Hemisphere and almost all within the Western Hemisphere .

State or provincial parks are parks or other protected areas managed at the sub - national level within those nations which use " state " or " province " as a political subdivision . State parks are typically established by a state to preserve a location on account ___MASK59___ its natural beauty , historic interest , or recreational potential . There are state parks under the administration ___MASK59___ the government ___MASK59___ each U . S . state , and ___MASK59___ some the Mexican states . The term is also used in the Australian state ___MASK59___ ___MASK68___ . The Canadian equivalent term is provincial park .

In biology , a species ( abbreviated sp ., with the plural form species abbreviated spp .) is the basic unit ___MASK59___ biological classification and a taxonomic rank . A species is often defined as the largest group ___MASK59___ organisms in which two individuals can produce fertile offspring , typically by sexual reproduction . While this definition is often adequate , looked at more closely it is often problematic . For example , in a species complex , the boundaries between closely related species become unclear or disappear altogether . Other ways ___MASK59___ defining species include similarity ___MASK59___ DNA , morphology , or ecological niche . The presence ___MASK59___ locally adaptive traits may further subdivide species into infraspecific taxa such as subspecies .

Wood is sometimes defined as only the secondary xylem in the stems ___MASK59___ trees , or it is defined more broadly to include the same type ___MASK59___ tissue elsewhere such as in the roots ___MASK59___ trees or shrubs . In a living tree it performs a support function , enabling woody plants to grow large or to stand up by themselves . It also conveys water and nutrients between the leaves , other growing tissues , and the roots . Wood may also refer to other plant materials with comparable properties , and to material engineered from wood , or wood chips or fiber . An old - growth ___MASK55___  also termed primary ___MASK55___ , ___MASK67___ ___MASK55___ , primeval ___MASK55___ , late seral ___MASK55___ , or ( in Britain ) ancient woodland  is a ___MASK55___ that has attained great age without significant disturbance and thereby exhibits unique ecological features and might be classified as a climax community .

Trees are not a taxonomic group but include a variety of plant species that have independently evolved a woody trunk and branches as a way to tower above other plants to compete for sunlight . In looser senses , the taller palms , the tree ferns , bananas and bamboos are also trees . Trees tend to be long - lived , some reaching several thousand years old . The tallest known tree , a coast redwood named Hyperion , stands high . Trees have been in existence for 370 million years . It is estimated that there are just over 3 trillion mature trees in the world . A U . S . state is a constituent political entity ___MASK59___ the ___MASK28___ . There are 50 states , which are bound together in a union with each other . Each state holds administrative jurisdiction over a defined geographic territory , and shares its sovereignty with the United States federal government . Due to the shared sovereignty between each state and the federal government , Americans are citizens ___MASK59___ both the federal republic and ___MASK59___ the state in which they reside . State citizenship and residency are flexible , and no government approval is required to move between states , except for persons covered by certain types ___MASK59___ court orders ( e . g ., paroled convicts and children ___MASK59___ divorced spouses who are sharing custody ). Blanket bog or blanket mire , also known as featherbed bog , is an area ___MASK59___ peatland , forming where there is a climate ___MASK59___ high rainfall and a low level ___MASK59___ evapotranspiration , allowing peat to develop not only in wet hollows but over large expanses ___MASK59___ undulating ground . The blanketing ___MASK59___ the ground with a variable depth ___MASK59___ peat gives the habitat type its name . Blanket bogs are found extensively throughout the ___MASK11___ hemisphere - well - studied examples are found in Ireland and Britain , but vast areas ___MASK59___ the Russian and North American tundra also qualify as blanket bogs . Arenite ( Latin " Arena ", sand ) is a sedimentary clastic ___MASK72___ with sand grain size between 0 . 0625 mm ( 0 . 00246 in ) and 2 mm ( 0 . 08 in ) and contain less than 15 % matrix .

In the ___MASK53___ , an ancient ___MASK26___ is a ___MASK26___ that has existed continuously since 1600 or before in ___MASK60___ , ___MASK80___ and Northern Ireland ( or 1750 in ___MASK50___ ). Before those dates , planting of new ___MASK26___ was uncommon , so a wood present in 1600 was likely to have developed naturally . The analogous American term is " old - growth forest ". Magnesium is a chemical element with symbol Mg and atomic number 12 . It is a shiny ___MASK9___ solid which bears a close physical resemblance to the other five elements in the second column ( Group 2 , or alkaline ___MASK74___ metals ) ___MASK59___ the periodic table : all Group 2 elements have the same electron configuration in the outer electron shell and a similar crystal structure .
