Anatomical characteristics of peatified Calluna vulgaris stems isolated from a selection of Northwest European raised bog peat deposits were compared with intact stems in order to reveal anatomical modifications caused by the peatification process. Four main decomposition processes were discerned: (1) loss of structural integrity of cell walls and cell inclusions; (2) gelification and swelling of cell walls; (3) discolouration of cell walls; and (4) deposition of matter in cell lumina.
