Histosol

Histosols comprise soils formed in organic material accumulating as groundwater peat (fen), rainwater peat (raised bog) or mangroves or without water saturation in cool mountain areas. They vary from soils developed in predominantly moss peat in arctic, subarctic and boreal regions, via moss peat (Sphagnum species), reeds/sedge peat (fen) and forest peat in temperate regions to mangrove peat and swamp forest peat in the humid tropics. Histosols are found at all altitudes, but the vast majority occurs in lowlands. Common names are Peat soils, Muck soils, Bog soils and Organic soils. Many Histosols belong to Moore, Felshumusböden and Skeletthumusböden (Germany), Organosols (Australia), Organossolos (Brazil), Peat soils (Russia), Organic order (Canada) and Histosols and Histels (United States of America).
