328 Hemlock / sedge-cottongrass savanna Conifer peatlands occur at various topo-positions throughout southern Alaska. Scattered stunted trees form an open canopy over sedge and shrub dominated peatland. Single tree species or combinations of mountain hemlock and Alaska cedar are typical (some conifer peatland canopies are composed of shore pine). Cottongrass species (Eriophorum spp.) and sedges (Carex spp.) dominate the nonwoody layer and a low ericaceous shrub layer is typically present. Organic soils are composed of sphagnum or sedge peat. 240 5 112,125,311 18 4 1
