Peat develops due to a continuous supply of water from rainfall, maintaining waterlogged conditions on the ground. Blanket bogs are ombrotrophic or rain fed, and as a result their pH lies between 3.5 and 4.2."^^ . _:b1217294 . _:b1217294 "IPCC:http://www.ipcc.ie/infoblanketbogfs.html"^^ . _:b1217294 .
