The Italian term "torbiera" refers to a wetland area characterized by the presence of peat, an organic substance formed by the partial decomposition of plant material. These ecosystems develop in regions with abundant stagnant water, relatively low temperatures, and limited nutrient availability, creating conditions conducive to the growth of mosses, herbaceous plants, and shrubs. The evolution of peatlands represents a significant ecological service, contributing to biodiversity and carbon sequestration.

Abstract
The Italian term "torbiera" refers to a wetland area characterized by the presence of peat, an organic substance formed by the partial decomposition of plant material. These ecosystems develop in regions with abundant stagnant water, relatively low temperatures, and limited nutrient availability, creating conditions conducive to the growth of mosses, herbaceous plants, and shrubs. The evolution of peatlands represents a significant ecological service, contributing to biodiversity and carbon sequestration.
