Of that land base, less than half is productive forestland, the balance made up of swamps, lakes, muskeg and rocks. |
Geosynthetic reinforcement was evaluated in a road that crossed a muskeg bog. |
Forested slopes of lodgepole pine and subalpine fir give way to aspen-clad foothills and rolling sagebrush steppes that have the spongy look of muskeg, but two shades lighter. |
A year after crude markets began their slump, however, there are green shoots appearing in the ravaged muskeg soil. |
The terrain in the area is comprised of numerous lakes and muskeg interspersed with sand and gravel hills. |
The lowlands of the island are blanketed with muskeg, a type of bog up to 3 feet deep with a hard crust on top. |
