Title
Abstract
<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:16px">Peat moss is an essential resource that comes from the incomplete decay of sphagnum moss in acidic, waterlogged peat bogs. Its remarkable characteristics, including superiority in water retention, aeration and sterility, enable it to be used extensively for applications such as soil supplements, seed propagation and potting mixtures. The specific physical and chemical characteristics of peat moss stimulate plant growth through soil structure enhancement, maintenance of pH levels and encourage the growth of useful microbes. While these benefits have been observed, the extraction of peat moss is considered an environmental issue due to the significance of peat bogs as carbon sinks. This emphasizes the importance of balancing the environmental impact of peat moss extraction with the advantages of use of alternatives like compost and cocopeat. </span></p>
