Abstract

VANNI, R. O  and  GABRIELA LOPEZ, M. Sobre la presencia de turberas en la laguna del Iberá (Corrientes, Argentina). Bol. Soc. Argent. Bot. [online]. 2014, vol.49, n.3, pp.341-346. ISSN 1851-2372.

In this paper, we report the presence of peatlands in the Ibera lagoon (Corrientes, northeastern Argentina) under a subtropical climate. We describe a bog located in its northwestern extreme confirming that peatlands are not only limited to cold areas, but are also present in the subtropics, performing a very important role because of its ability to absorb water.

Keywords : Peatlands; Laguna Iberá; Physiognomy; Flora; Sphagnum recurvum; Sphagnum perichaetiale.
