  1. peat bog

    A peat bog is a type of wetland where the soil is composed largely of decayed vegetable matter, known as peat. This accumulation of peat is due to the slow rate of decomposition caused by the high water and low oxygen levels typically found in these areas. Peat bogs support specific types of vegetation, mainly mosses, and are important for carbon storage and wetland ecology.
