AI overview

Peat is a dark, carbon-rich material that forms from partially decomposed plant matter in wet environments like bogs and marshes. It has been historically harvested as a fuel source and remains important for horticulture and energy production, though its extraction raises environmental concerns due to its role in storing carbon and supporting unique ecosystems.
