Peat is a mixture of partially decomposed plant and animal material found in waterlogged, acidic, anaerobic environments. People debate whether peat is a fossil fuel. To be considered a fossil fuel, a material must be of biologic origin, be used as a source of energy, and replenish on a time scale greater than human lifetimes. Peat reserves have declined over time. However, peat harvesters claim that a restoration process can make peat a renewable resource and allow it to be classified as a biofuel. The restoration process is outlined in the table. Which conclusion can be drawn based on the information in the table?
