Peat is formed either when rainfall exceeds evaporation and/or in instances where drainage is insufficient to remove the surplus water. These circumstances lead to waterlogging of the soils and the exclusion of oxygen. In places where there is a deficiency of lime, as at Houndtor, such conditions prevent the decomposition of plant matter and so lead to the formation of peat.
