Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spodosols are not typically called peat or muck. Peat is a type of soil that forms from the accumulation of partially decayed plant material in wet environments. Muck is a type of soil that is rich in organic matter and forms in wetlands or areas with a high water table. Spodosols, on the other hand, are a type of soil that forms in cold, humid environments and are characterized by a layer of organic matter on top of a mineral layer.
