Diatoms in moor water

Principle
Many people are afraid of the dangerous moor because one might sink and drown in it. For others, however, this is an interesting place. Archeologists find traces of early settlements in moors. Paleobotanists search for pollen which plants left behind in prehistory. Botanists find here particularly interesting carnivorous plants, and zoologists a highly diversified fauna. The acid water of a moor or bog also allows us a new perspective on a different world under the microscope!
