The Fil Humide Bog is a cold bog that forms at the delta of the Acquargento river. The bog is home to many unique species such as the bog eagle, or the striped swarm spider. The bog is located almost entirely in the borders of the district of Hvitkanger, with a small part in the district Honningsund.
Ecosystem
Flora
The most unique ecosystem is located on the Spavennato eyot, it is on this eyot that the rapid barbed vine grows, it is the only location in which this species grows in the wild. The vine grows over everything in it's path, killing all plant life, except for very small plants. For this reason the rapid barbed vine covers the nearly whole island, the one exception being the most southern point, which is a rocky outcrop due to erosion from the river. Other notable plants include the Sanguivorous grass, and the bronze willow.
Fauna
Animals that are not in purely native to the bog include the common sea scorpion, greater freshwater octopus and the stripped river shark. While some purely native species are the bog polecat, detritus vinegaroon, thorny mantis, and the vine bee.
Nature Reclamation
The town Notodsla was founded by Swedish and Russian immigrants in 1781. The town operated normally for 67 years until barbed vine, specifically the rapid barbed vine, grew over the eyot. The town was abandoned in 1850 after the vine grew over the entire eyot. The most common theory for how the vine went unnoticed is that the vine grew in the Regelée Divot, and over time grew over the limestone rock until it reached the surface.
Microbiomes
The Fil Humide Bog has two major microbiomes, and four minor microbiomes. The two major biomes are the coastal bog, and inner bog microbiomes. The minor microbiomes are the outer bog islands, rocky eyots & outcrops, sandhills and the most unique microbiome, the viny overgrowth.
Military Usage
The Armed Forces of Wosteaque routinely use the bog for environmental training as well as assisting in scientific expeditions. The 2nd Infantry Division and both the 1st and 2nd National Guard Division have extensive training exercises in the more remote parts of the bog.
