This is what is commonly know as 'peat'.  Peat is found in peatlands, bogs, mires and moors, and is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation or organic matter. The decay is slowed down by a lack of oxygen due to waterlogged conditions. These areas are very important carbon sinks as the CO2 released by the decaying matter is trapped within the peat. It requires thousands of years for peatland to develop. Peatlands are very important as they provide a record of past vegetation and climate within the preserved plant remains.

A cladogram is a type of graph that shows how closely related different types of organisms are in an evolutionary context. It resembles a tree, with various organisms being placed at the end of each branch. If two organisms have a close common branch, they are more closely related than those who have more distant branches. Since DNA, or corresponding protein sequences are more similar in closely related species, and more different in more distant species, a biologist can use those sequences to numerically determine how closely related three species are.
