Introduction: Peat is an organic soil which is formed by the accumulation of decayed vegetative matter that have formed in areas of poor water drainage. The mineral components of peat are derived from inorganic matter contained in sediments and by adsorption from groundwater. The inorganic (mineral) fraction of peat usually includes only 2–10 Percent of its dry weight, but for highly decomposed peats can increase to about 60 percent of dry weight. Thin sections of peat reveal detailed information of composition, structure, fabric and particularly pore properties which influence water retention and movement. …
