has gloss | eng: Ombrotrophic ("cloud-fed") refers to soil or vegetation which receive all of their water and nutrients from precipitation, rather than from streams or springs. Such environments are hydrologically isolated from the surrounding landscape, and since rain is acidic and very low in nutrients, they are home to organisms tolerant of acidic, low-nutrient environments. The vegetation of ombrotrophic peatlands is often bog, dominated by Sphagnum mosses. |

has gloss | fin: Ombrotrofinen suo on suo, joka saa vetensä ja ravinteensa ilmasta eli sateen mukana. Tämä edellyttää sitä, että suon keskusta on ympäröivää kivennäismaata selvästi korkeammalla. Tällainen suo on karu ja vähäravinteinen. Etenkin eteläisen Suomen keidassuot ovat ombrotrofisia rahkakakkuja. Vastakohtana on minerotrofinen suo. |
