Peat Humification

Peat Humification is a diagenetic process in soil science whereby organic plant residues in waterlogged, anaerobic peatland environments undergo partial decomposition and chemical transformation into humic substances through microbial and abiotic reactions, distinguished from mineral soil humification by its dominance of acidic, phenolic-rich organic matter and suppressed decomposition rates due to saturated conditions.
