👉 Peatwood is a term used in environmental science to describe the type of organic material that is primarily composed of wood fibers and lignin, which are both derived from living plants. It is a type of soil or sediment that is rich in carbon dioxide and water, and has been identified as a significant source of methane emissions into the atmosphere. The formation of peatwood can occur through a variety of processes, including forest decay, decomposition by bacteria, and changes in climate patterns.
