Peat is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation with high noncrystalline content (humus), which is formed in wetland systems. Chemico-geomechanical sensitivities of a fibrous (very slightly decomposed) and a sapric (highly decomposed) peat to peat-water pH gradients in terms of resulting eff...
