Product Information

The wood-reed peat – peat woody-herbal groups, in the Botanical composition is from 35 to 65% of the herbaceous residues, of which more than 35 % of the residues of cane, and from 15 to 35% of wood.

In the United States, peat moss is found in the northern states, including Alaska, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Europe Jurcsik, I. Possibilities of applying humic acids in medicine (wound healing and cancer therapy). Humic. Subst. Glob. Environ. 1994, 1331–1336. [ Google Scholar] The new plantations brought other threats to the region’s native species. To prepare their land for timber, plantation owners ploughed up the bog, killing off the blanket of native plants that build peat and hold water on the landscape. Water drained away, eroding gullies and drying out the peat.By being mindful of the source of their soil amendments, gardeners can make a positive impact on the environment while still achieving healthy and productive gardens. The process of thoracoplasty does not end, but happens all the time. The average rate of formation and accumulation of peat is different and depends on the prevailing source of plant groups, geographical and climatic zonality, the hydrologic and other conditions, and varies from 0.2-0.4 mm (the swamp forest) to 1 mm (coniferous-broadleaved subzone) per year. Modern peat deposits formed in 10 000 – 12 000 years. Transitional sphagnum peat transitional peat moss group, in the Botanical composition is from 70 to 100 % of the residues of mosses, of which more than 30% sphagnum and 15% wood.

[ Google Scholar] Sphagnum hollow peat – peat moss group, in the Botanical composition is from 70 to 100 % of the residues of sphagnum moss, of which more than 50% of hollow sphagnum mosses together with the remnants of hollow herbaceous plants.

Homely peat – peat lowland grass group in the Botanical composition is from 35 to 65% of the herbaceous residues, among which more than 35% horsetail, and no more than 15% of the wood. There are different types of peat moss, each with its own unique characteristics. Sphagnum Peat Moss Sedge peat – peat lowland grass group in the Botanical composition of the herbaceous residues, among which is dominated by sedges, not more than 35% mosses and 15% wood.

Each peat type by the ratio of the main plants of the peat-forming plants in their requirement for abundant water supply is divided into subtypes: Peat is classified in multiple ways, starting with the parent plant material that gives rise to the peat deposit. If the parent plant material is grasses, reeds, sedges and other vascular plants, the peat is often called reed-sedge peat. In those areas where mosses thrive in nutrient-poor environments, the peat may be Sphagnum peat. Reed-sedge and Sphagnum peat are different from each other both physically and chemically, which means they don’t behave the same way in water treatment applications. The resulting plantations of lodgepole pine ( Pinus contorta) and Sitka spruce ( Picea sitchensis), species native to North America, failed to thrive. The Flow Country had been treeless for thousands of years for good reason. Peat soil is often too acidic and nutrient-poor to support healthy trees, and the Flow Country endures howling winter winds of up to 90mph, which can stunt their growth or yank them out by the roots. Spruce peat – peat wood group, in the Botanical composition is from 40 to 100 % of the wood residues, which are dominated by the remains of the bark and wood of spruce.

Willow peat – peat wood group, in the Botanical composition is from 40 to 100 % of the wood residues, which are dominated by the remains of the bark and wood of willow. Reed peat – peat lowland grass group in the Botanical composition is from 35 to 65% of the herbaceous residues, among which more than 35% of the cane, and not more than 15 % of the wood.

Peat bogs are fragile ecosystems that play an important role in carbon sequestration and the preservation of biodiversity. Reed and Sedge– are peats derived from the moderately decomposed remains of rushes, coarse grasses, sedges, reeds and similar plants. These fine textured materials are generally less acid and contain relatively few fibrous particles. The rapid rate of decomposition, fine particle size and insufficient fiber content make reed and sedge peats unsatisfactory for media use. The most widely peat and its processing products (humates, humic acid, etc.) used in agricultural production. In agriculture it is used as a source of replenishment of humus in the soil to improve its water, physical and biological properties. Peat contains all the necessary plant nutrients in easily digestible plants forms. It improves soil porosity, increases its acidity. It has antiseptic properties, inhibiting the development of pathogenic microflora. Barks – are primarily a bi-product of the pulp, paper and plywood industries. Suitable particle size is obtained by hammer milling and screening. This produces a material which is suitable for use in container media. Physical properties obtained from tree barks are similar to those of Sphagnum moss.

The filtration coefficient, m/s (minimum values at the peat type high decomposition degree, a maximum of the peat low-lying type.) Peat moss is also found in other regions of the world, including South America, Africa, and Australia.

Harvesting and Sustainability

While peat moss has been a popular gardening additive for many years, its environmental impact has come under scrutiny in recent years.
