McLean Bogs is a National Natural Landmark containing two small kettle bogs located in Dryden, New York. [1] [2] It was donated to Cornell University by Curtis G. Lloyd in the 1930s, [3] and an 81-acre (33 ha) site containing the bogs and surrounding woodlands was declared a National Natural Landmark in May 1983. [4]

In support of our mission, we protect and maintain six other highly sensitive natural areas—South Hill Swamp, Ringwood Ponds, McLean Bogs, Coy Glen, Eames Bog, and Salt Road Fen. Information on these natural areas may be obtained by contacting the Natural Areas Program. Permission must be obtained from Cornell Botanic Gardens to visit these ...

McLean Bogs Preserve A Cornell Natural Areas preserve that has been studied for decades, yielding important information on species changes. Mentioned in Solidago

This early and complete documentation of the biota of McLean Bogs, including the complete herbaria records, makes it especially useful for research. Many of the floristically rich and diverse destinations these early botanists identified remain so today.

Feb 8, 2002 · Methane-generating bacteria produce a potent greenhouse-effect gas from decaying plant matter, such as this ancient peat, deep in the acidic McLean Bog.

Our primary research site is McLean Bog about 30 km from Cornell. We have demonstrated using molecular biological tools that diverse populations of methanogens exists in McLean Bog , none of which have been cultured, until our recent studies.

May 15, 2013 · At Cornell University's celebrated McLean Bogs Preserve, alkaline fens, stream corridors, and shrubby swamps are interfingered with acidic forested uplands and quaking bogs. This matrix of special habitats supports a rich biota that was documented in a landmark biological survey conducted by 22 Cornell specialists in the 1920s.

We then use metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from McLean Bog, a Sphagnum bog in New York State, as a local case study to reconstruct pathways of Sphagnum degradation and acetate mineralization.

Pair of small kettle bogs, one acidic and one alkaline. Administered by Cornell University, the area is used for researching lichens and their methane gas production. It is designated a National Natural Landmark.

Among the many interesting spots discovered were the bogs near McLean. These cold upland bogs with their strongly marked Canadian fauna and flora early attracted attention.
