Magnolia bog information


A magnolia bog is a rare form of wetland ecosystem found primarily in the Washington metropolitan area in the United States. Officially named in the early 1900s by ecologist Waldo Lee McAtee, magnolia bogs get their name from the abundance of sweetbay magnolias that grow within them.[1]

Once common, these bogs have begun to disappear due to the high levels of development in their natural area.[1] Currently, it is believed that there are less than two dozen remaining magnolia bogs worldwide.[2] Largely due to this scarcity, a large number of the species found in magnolia bogs are rare, threatened, or endangered.[3]
