Imnati Sphagnum Peatland is a protected habitat included in the European Nature Information System (EUNIS). Due to abundant precipitation and constantly high water levels, there is a lack of oxygen present, which slows down the decomposition of peat. A warm climate and high levels of precipitation create the best conditions for peat vegetation and, here, sphagnum never stops growing.
