Deadman is one of the best remaining examples of a mixed valley mire in Somerset. It contains a rich mosaic of wet heath, bog pools and birch/willow carr grading into acid marshy grassland. These communities support several species of plant which are rare in the county. Ground water issues from numerous springs within the greensand producing a locally raised water table and shallow peaty surface horizon. It is at these points that bog communities develop, characterised by the floating leaves of bog pondweed (Potamogeton polygonifolia), bog bean (Menyanthes trifoliata) and marsh St John's-wort (Hypericum elodes). In places this wet heath has undergone a transition to birch (Betula sp.) and willow (Salix sp.) carr. This provides an important habitat for breeding nightingales and grasshopper warblers.[1] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Deadman |work=English Nature |url=http://www.english-nature.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1003153.pdf |accessdate=2006-08-12 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061013121804/http://www.english-nature.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1003153.pdf |archivedate=2006-10-13 |df= }} {{SSSIs Somerset biological}} 2 : Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Somerset|Sites of Special Scientific Interest notified in 1987 |
