capture insects and extract the nitrogen from their bodies. Bogs have low net primary productivity because the water found in bogs has low levels of nitrogen and oxygen.
Should there be a subsection here about different types of wetlands? Marsh, swamp, bog, fen, etc all have different hydrology and vegetation that could be good to cover.

deciduous trees are the dominant plant in this biome
Might also be worth mentioning that most of the plant biodiversity in these systems is found in the understory (especially the herbaceous layer)

grasses.
Could also be worth mentioning how endangered this biome type is, and how many temperate grasslands have been lost to agriculture/other land-use change.
-
decay.
Somewhere in this chapter (perhaps here?) it would be good to mention that grasslands are great for carbon sequestration because of this ability for store carbon below ground. A lot of people seem not to be aware of this and it translates to bad management choices like planting trees in grassland habitats.
