Just a note: all this pertains only to copyrighted material! Those
of us who publish research in an academic setting do not get paid for the
writings - we actually have to pay the journal to print it (legally, it's
considered a paid advertizement). In many ways it's like revese royalties -
reprints cost us money, so any photocopying reduces the cost of
disseminating our work. So scientific references may be photocopied if not
copyrighted. In fact, we strongly encourage it!

Also-
I wrote of an experiment about 2 months ago conserning growth
conditions of sphagnum. The results are interesting. The conditions which
worked best were High light/high humidity/Good drainage: ie - raised above
the level of the watertable by about 6-9inches, watered daily but allowed
to drain completely between waterings. I did some readings and found that
there are over 40 species of sphagnum - some prefer to be watelogged, some
do not.
