Peatlands are one of the most important ecosystems due to their biodiversity and abundant organic compounds; therefore, it is important to observe how different plant species in peatlands react to changing environmental conditions.  Sphagnum  spp. are the main component of peatlands and are considered as the creator of conditions favorable for carbon storage in the form of peat.  Sphagnum angustifolium  and  Sphagnum fallax  are taxonomically very close species. To examine their adaptability to climate change, we studied the morphology and pigment content of these two species from environmental manipulation sites in Poland, where the environment was continuously manipulated for temperature and precipitation. The warming of peat was induced by using infrared heaters, whereas total precipitation was reduced by a curtain that cuts the nighttime precipitation. Morphology of  S. angustifolium  stayed under climate manipulation relatively stable. However, the main morphological parameters of  S. fallax  were significantly affected by precipitation reduction. Thus, this study indicates  S. angustifolium  is better adapted in comparison to  S. fallax  for drier and warmer conditions.
