Partially decomposed remains of plants that once flourished in a waterlogged environment.

  Peat consists of partially decomposed plant debris. It is considered an early stage in the development of coal. Peat is distinguished from lignite by the presence of free cellulose and a high moistu [..]

Combustible soft, porous or compressed, fossil sedimentary deposit of plant origin with high water content (up to 90 per cent in the raw state), easily cut, of light to dark brown colour.

layers of partially decayed organic material found in some wetlands. Peat can be dried and burned as fuel.

Partially decayed humus rich material often used in compost.

Peat is an important component of most growing media and seed-starting media. It holds several times its weight in moisture, and releases the moisture to the plants roots as needed. Peat does not brea [..]

Partially decomposed vegetation (usually moss) with slow decay due to extreme moisture and cold. PERENNIAL

partially decomposed remains of plants that once flourished in a waterlogged environment.

Like compost, peat is formed from vegetable remains, but occurs in wet, acid places where aerobic bacteria have not been able to rot it down properly. It is used for horticultural purposes mainly as an ingredient of soil-less composts.

partially decomposed vegetation (usually moss) with slow decay due to extreme moisture and cold.

Deposits of moist, acidic, semidecayed organic matter. pebrine

plant material decomposed in water and partly carbonised

Peat is a soggy, spongelike material that forms from plants and trees after they die. Peat from plants and trees that died about 300 million years ago became buried and compressed under the earth’s surface over a long period of time. Over millions of years and through the forces of heat and pressure, the compressed peat became coal.

Peat is formed from dead plants, typically Sphagnum mosses, which are only partially decomposed due to the permanent submergence in water and the presence of conserving substances such as humic acids.

A marsh or swamp deposit of water-soaked plant remains containing more than 50 percent carbon.

Unconsolidated material consisting largely of non-decomposed or slightly- decomposed organic matter accumulated under conditions of excess moisture.

sod of turf, not the "peat moss" used as potting soil in America. Usually burned in a stove or fireplace for heat.

Decomposing Sphagnum.

a dark brown or black, organic residuum produced by the partial decomposition and disintegration of mosses, trees, and other plants that grow in marshes or other wet places. Peat deposits form when the rate of accumulation of plant matter exceeds the rate of destruction by weathering or organisms. One of the largest peat deposits in the world is in [..]

A partially carbonized material formed from the incomplete decomposition of buried plant remains; a precursor to coal.

A dark-brown or black organic material produced by the partial decomposition and disintegration of mosses, sedges, and other plants which grow in marshes and wetlands.

Partially decomposed vegetation from marshes and swamps, it is dark brown or black in colour. First stage of the coalification process.

the brownish black material that is produced by the partial decomposition of plant remains

Organic soil, often many metres deep, composed of partly decomposed plant material. It forms under anaerobic conditions in waterlogged areas such as fens and bogs.

Partially decomposed vegetable matter - in the absence of bacteria and oxygen, such organic material survives. It will preserve some materials that are in it, as it is usually acidic. Skin can be pres [..]

An unconsolidated deposit of partially decomposed plant matter with high moisture content, in a water-saturated environment.
