Acrotelm
The acrotelm is one of two distinct layers in undisturbed peat bogs. It overlies the catotelm, the boundary between the two layers being defined by the lowest level of the water table.[1] Fluctuations in water table in a peat bog occur within the acrotelm, and hence conditions may vary from aerobic to anaerobic with time.
