Publisher Summary Peat is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation. It is used mainly for two different purposes—horticulture and energy. Large areas of peatlands have been degraded in many countries around the world, but it is estimated that about 80% of the world's peatlands are still in their natural state.

Publisher Summary This chapter presents an overview of the properties of peat. Peat is a brown fibrous mass of partially decayed plant material that has accumulated in situ under waterlogged conditions. The agencies causing decay are mainly aerobic bacteria near the surface (oxidizing conditions) and increasingly anaerobic (reducing) bacteria with ...

Suo, 1987
The release of nitrogen and sulphur compounds in peat pyrolysis was investigated between 300 and 700 °C. Seven peats with different nitrogen and sulphur contents (N:0.8729 %. S: 0.08—0.24 %) were studied. The pyrolysis was studied indirectly by following the elemental composition and the structure of the char residue.

Nutrient-rich tropical and agricultural soils release vast quantities of the highly potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide. New measurements show that vegetation-free patches of tundra in subarctic Europe can also emit large quantities of this gas.

The UK National Trust (NT) has developed peat-free compost in the hopes of preserving its national peat bogs. Peat occurs in soggy areas that support a variety of bog plants. Two years ago, the agency decided that its gardens should be grown without peat, and they began their search for an alternative to peat. Working with the government, their aim was
