'''Peat''' is partly decayed plant material found in layers, usually in [[marsh]]es.
Peat is composed mainly of the mosses sphagnum and hypnum, but also of sedges, trees, and other plant matter. Under the right [[geological]] conditions, peat forms [[coal]]. It is used as a [[mulch]] and burned as a [[fuel]] source for domestic heating.
