A pardon is a government decision to allow a person who has been convicted of a crime to be free and absolved of that conviction, as if never convicted. Today, pardons are granted in many countries when individuals have demonstrated that they have fulfilled their debt to society, or are otherwise considered to be deserving.
Peat moss is made from decomposed mosses, such as sphagnum, hypnum, reeds or sedge. The most common source of peat moss is sphagnum.
Peat is partially decomposed organic material. If you examine peat, you can find bits and pieces of leaf and stem material, but it's basically pretty well composted. One of the commonly sold peats is Sphagnum peat, partially decomposed Sphagnum. But there are a lot of other peats, depending on starting material.
