What is peat? 🌿![]()
![]()
Peat is a type of partially decayed organic material that forms in wet, waterlogged environments such as bogs, fens, and marshes. It’s made up mostly of dead plant material such as mosses, grasses, and woody plants, that decomposes very slowly because the soil is low in oxygen and acidic.![]()
![]()
Peat stores carbon because waterlogged conditions in peatlands prevent dead plant material from fully decomposing, causing organic matter to build up over thousands of years into a carbon-rich soil!![]()

Peat is neat! ![]()
