Cedar bog, like mentioned before, is not a bog. It is actually a fen. Fens flush out water, like a toilet, whereas bogs hold water in, like a bathtub. Cedar bog has landforms, glacial till, and grasslands.
Ecological conditions here are very unique. We have plants here that are not known in other parts of Ohio. Glaciers were covering around 2/3 of Ohio. Because of this Glacial tills formed one specific line across Ohio. As a result of this, when the glaciers melted it left sand and limestone.
This environment can include many plants, some dominant plant examples are: white cedar, swamp goldenrod, and shrubby cinquefoil.
A national history note about the northern white cedar is that it grows here because of the cold ground water.
Conservative plants in terms of FQAI are:
Shrubby cinquefoil CC value of 10
Round-Leaved Sundew CC value of 7
Poison Sumac CC value of 7
Kalms Labila CC value of 9
