accumulation of clastic sediments and plant remains resulted in the formation of clayey
peat (topogenous peat). As plant remains accumulated, the ground surface levels were
elevated. This led to the formation of peat, which was free of (or low in) clastic
sediments (ombrogenous peat) and highly acidic.
