"In Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales, Sphagnum moss tends to die if it dries out in summer suggesting that Sphagnum peatlands in south-eastern Australia may be near their climatic limits. If so, global warming is likely to reduce their chances of long-term survival." (from the Tas Parks website).
