ʻO ka bog kahi wahi e pulu mau ai ka honua. Ma muli o ka pulu mau ʻana o ka ʻāina i ka wai e like me ka ʻōhuʻu pulu, hiki i kekahi mau mea kanu a me nā holoholona ke noho ma laila. ʻAʻole nui nā holoholona e noho ana i ka lepo lepo ponoʻī. Akā he nui nā iniseti, no ka laʻana, nā pepeke, nā spiders a i ʻole nā beetles. ʻO nā mosses kūikawā a me nā mea kanu kino, e like me ka sundew, ulu i loko o ka puʻu.
ʻAʻole like ka puʻu me ka puʻu. Inā hoʻokahe ʻoe i kahi puʻu, koe ka lepo momona, kahi hiki iā ʻoe ke kanu maikaʻi i kahi māla. I loko o kahi puʻu, noho mau ia no nā makahiki he nui a hoʻokumu ʻia ka peat.
Pehea i hana ʻia ai nā bogs?
ʻAʻole i noho mau ʻo Moore ma ka honua. Ua ala wale lākou ma hope o ka makahiki hau hope loa. I ka wā hau, ua uhi ʻia nā wahi nui o ka honua i ka hau. I ka wela ana, hehee ka hau a lilo i wai. I ka manawa like, ua nui ka ua ma hope o ka makahiki hau hope loa. I kekahi mau wahi, he mau papahele ʻaʻole e kahe ka wai. Ma kahi o nā awāwa a i ʻole nā "luu" i ka lepo, hiki ke hana ʻia nā loko.
Ke ulu nei nā mea kanu makemake i ka wai ma kēia mau loko. I ka make ʻana o kēia mau mea kanu, hāʻule lākou i lalo o ka loko. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole hiki i nā mea kanu ke popopo loa ma lalo o ka wai, no ka mea, he liʻiliʻi loa ka oxygen ma ka lepo ma muli o ka nui o ka wai. Hana ʻia kekahi ʻano lepo mai ka wai a koe ka mea kanu.
ʻO ke koena o nā mea kanu i ka wā i kapa ʻia ʻo peat. I ka nui aʻe o nā mea kanu e make mālie, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka peat. Ke ulu mālie nei ka bog i nā makahiki he nui. Ke ulu nei ka papa peat ma kahi o hoʻokahi milimita i kēlā me kēia makahiki.
ʻO nā holoholona make a i ʻole nā kānaka i kekahi manawa ʻaʻole e popopo i loko o kahi puʻu. No laila, loaʻa lākou i kekahi manawa ma hope o nā kenekulia. Ua kapa ʻia kēlā mau mea i loaʻa i nā kino bog.
He aha nā Moors i laila?
Aia nā ʻano like ʻole o nā bogs:
Kapa ʻia nā moors haʻahaʻa. Loaʻa iā lākou ka hapa nui o kā lākou wai mai lalo mai. ʻO kēia ka hihia i loaʻa kahi loko, no ka laʻana. Hiki ke kahe ka wai ma lalo o ka lepo i loko o ka puʻu, no ka laʻana ma kahi pūnāwai.
Hoʻokumu ʻia nā bogs i hoʻoulu ʻia ke ua nui i ka makahiki. No laila hiki ke kapa ʻia nā bogs i hoʻāla ʻia he "waiwai bogs". Ua loaʻa iā lākou ko lākou inoa ʻo "Hochmoor" mai ka ʻaoʻao curved, hiki ke nānā aku me he ʻōpū liʻiliʻi. ʻO nā mea kanu a me nā holoholona ʻē aʻe e noho ana i kahi puʻu. ʻO kekahi o lākou he peat moss, e uhi pinepine ana i nā wahi nui o nā bogs i hāpai ʻia.
Pehea e hoʻohana ai iā Moore?
Manaʻo ka poʻe ma mua he mea ʻole ka bog. Ua ʻae lākou e maloʻo nā moors. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia hoʻi: "Ua hoʻokahe" nā kānaka i ka moor. Ua ʻeli lākou i nā ʻauwai e kahe ai ka wai. A laila ʻeli ka poʻe i ka peat a hoʻohana i ke ahi, hoʻomomona i kā lākou mahina ʻai, a kūkulu hale paha me ia. I kēia lā, kūʻai mau ʻia ka peat ma ke ʻano he lepo lepo.
Akā i kēia mau lā, ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia nā moors: ua ʻike ʻia he nui nā holoholona a me nā mea kanu e hiki ke noho i loko o ka moors. Inā luku ʻia nā moo a wehe ʻia ka peat, nalowale nā holoholona a me nā mea kanu i ko lākou wahi noho. ʻAʻole hiki iā lākou ke noho ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe no ka mea ʻoluʻolu wale lākou i loko a a puni ka moor.
He mea koʻikoʻi nō hoʻi nā Moors no ka pale ʻana i ke aniau: mālama nā mea kanu i ka carbon dioxide e hoʻopōʻino i ke aniau. A laila hoʻololi lākou i carbon. Mālama nā mea kanu i ka nui o ke kalapona i loko o ka peat o kahi bog.
ʻO nā bogs he mālama kūlohelohe. I kēia lā, ke hoʻāʻo nei nā kānaka e hoʻihoʻi i nā bogs. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia hoʻi ua "hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia" nā moors. Eia naʻe, paʻakikī loa kēia a lawe i nā makahiki he nui.
