Hello, there.

I tagged some bogs today, and I wondered: why does the wiki restricts bogs to 
"depressions that receive their water and nutrients from rainfall"? AFAIK, bogs 
are not necessarily isolated from water streams or bodies. Wikipedia talls 
about sloping bogs where running water is intercepted in the soil by plants; at 
least one well-known example comes to my mind, the lac de Lispach, in France, 
which is crossed by a river and still hosts a bog, and I saw 2 more exeamples 
today on a hike in the French mountains Vosges. Shouldn't this restriction be 
lifted, as it does not seem to be justified?

Furthermore, how could rain bring nutrients? It only brings, at least directly, 
water, and can only bring nutrients indirectly, like with erosion or bringing 
leaves.

Awaiting your answers,

Regards.
