Bogs accumulates acidic peat...=)
Peat bogs can continue to accumulate peat as long as the conditions for peat formation persist, such as slow decomposition of organic matter in waterlogged environments. However, if the rate of peat extraction exceeds the rate of peat accumulation, peat bogs can be depleted over time. It's important to manage peat extraction sustainably to prevent running out of peat.
Ireland has a lot of peat bogs, with about one-sixth of the country covered in peatlands. Peat bogs are also commonly found in countries with a cool, wet climate like Finland, Russia, and Canada.
