A string bog ecosystem occupies part of a subalpine valley on Mt Wellington, Tasmania. The steps in the subsurface blockstream preferentially underlie pools. Variations in pool hydrology are independent of pool size. There is a correlation between pool shape and pool type, an oval shape being indicative of more recent secondary pool formation, primary pools with rocky floors being variably shaped. Variation in the bog
vegetation is closely related to variations in slope, drainage and peat depth. The major changes in abundance of pollen types are related to changes in abundance of charcoal. The Mt Wellington string bog complex appears likely to have been formed by similar processes to those postulated to have resulted in the string bog system at Mt Field.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
