What is another word for peatland?
Pronunciation: [pˈiːtlənd] (IPA) 
Peatlands, also known as moors or bogs, are wetlands that cover vast areas of the Earth's surface, particularly in northern regions. These ecosystems are composed of dead plant material that has accumulated over centuries and has not completely decomposed. Other synonyms for peatland include fen, marsh, swamp, and mire. Fens are specifically characterized by alkaline or neutral water conditions, while swamps are often dominated by trees. Marshes are similar to swamps but have more open water areas, while mires are defined by their low nutrient levels. All these terms describe wetland ecosystems that are important for biodiversity, carbon storage, and water regulation.
