Peat Moss in Nova Scotia
Peat is the partially decomposed remains of plants and animals which have accumulated in oxygen poor freshwater environments over the past 11 000-13 000 years. Peat is mined for horticultural purposes, and is also used in distillation, yeast cultivation, as an energy source, and in manufacture of ferrosilicons.
