Sue, I hear the term Envirotranspiration in some of the research but my description is my own intuition kicking in, not necessarily that of the scientists. Now that I’m in the PNW, I think peat bogs are a factor as well. I try to keep my activities on salt water, and really enjoy romping around Puget Sound. Where are your peat bogs (where do you live) ?

The bogs are scattered throughout Minnesota. Some (covered by development) as near as a mile. As a teen, I used to tear through the never frozen bogs about 10 miles from here, but they are either developed or covered by sod farms now. We have a path of regional nature centers that follow the bogs north from the Twin Cities to nearly the Boundary waters, and I have always loved the diversity of plants and bugs there. Thank goodness for blogs, newsletters and web sites - I can peek at them remotely now.
