ETIMOLOGÍA DE LA PALABRA PEAT
From Anglo-Latin peta, perhaps from Celtic; compare Welsh peth thing.
QUÉ SIGNIFICA PEAT EN INGLÉS
Turba
La turba es una acumulación de vegetación parcialmente decaída o materia orgánica que es única en áreas naturales llamadas turberas o mires. El ecosistema de turberas es el sumidero de carbono más eficiente del planeta porque las plantas de turberas captan el CO2 que se libera naturalmente de la turba manteniendo un equilibrio. En las turberas naturales, la "tasa anual de producción de biomasa es mayor que la tasa de descomposición", pero se necesitan "miles de años para que las turberas desarrollen depósitos de 1,5 a 2,3 m, que es la profundidad promedio de las turberas boreales". Uno de los componentes más comunes es el musgo Sphagnum, aunque muchas otras plantas pueden contribuir. Los suelos que contienen principalmente turba se conocen como un histosol. La turba se forma en condiciones de humedales, donde las inundaciones obstruyen los flujos de oxígeno de la atmósfera, disminuyendo las tasas de descomposición. Las turberas, también conocidas como matorrales, en particular los pantanos, son la fuente más importante de turba, pero otros tipos menos comunes de humedales también depositan la turba, incluyendo los pantanos, los últimos y los bosques de pantanos de turba. Otras palabras para las tierras dominadas por la turba incluyen páramos, o muskegs.
