Abstract
A total of 27 different peat types from Sweden were characterized. Botanical composition, particle-size distribution, elementary constituents, degree of decomposition, calorific value, and concentrations of monosaccharide, amino sugar, amino acid constituents, and bitumen were determined. Altogether 62 variables were recorded. The results were examined using principal component analysis (PCA) to probe any relationship between different peat properties and to group similar peat samples. The 41 samples separated into eight different groups.
