The impact of avulsion on groundwater level and peat
Basal peat samples come from strata that directly overlie sandy aeolian sediments, minimizing compaction effects in the curves. The basal peats sampled for these reconstructions are swamp peat and fenedge peat ( Alnus peat, that is, alder peat), which form approximately at or slightly below the annual mean groundwater table ( Charman, 2002 ).

Peat Wikipedia
Peat (/ p iː t /), also known as turf (/ t ɜːr f /), is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation or organic matter. It is unique to natural areas called peatlands, bogs, mires, moors, or muskegs. The peatland ecosystem is the most efficient carbon sink on the planet, because peatland plants capture CO 2 naturally released from the peat, maintaining an equilibrium.

FLOATING ROADS ON PEAT ROADEX Network
A floating road on peat in its simplest form is a road that is constructed directly on top of the peat relying on the strength of the insitu peat for its support. The road does not actually "float" on the peat rather an equilibrium builds up between the weight of the road and the in situ strength of the peat whereby the combined system

Coastal marshes are threatened by relative sealevel (RSL) rise, yet recent studies predict marsh survival even under the high rates of RSL rise expected later in this century. However, because these studies are mostly based on shortterm records, uncertainty persists about the longerterm vulnerability of coastal marshes.
