A dark-brown or black residuum produced by the partial decomposition and disintegration of mosses, sedges, trees, and other plants that grow in marshes and other wet places. Forest-type peat, when buried and subjected to geological influences of pressure and heat, is the natural forerunner of most coal. Moor peat is formed in relatively elevated, poorly drained moss-covered areas, as in parts of Northern Europe.
