Abstract

Peatlands after drainage can be effectively used as highly productive agricultural grasslands. The preservation of the fertility of peat soils depends on the nature of their use in agricultural production. Irrational and illogical use of peat bogs leads to loss of organic matter and nitrogen and reduction of their reserves. Currently, these deposits are often in the form of abandoned and overgrown forests. The appearance of disturbed landscapes leads to negative changes in vegetation and soil cover, water and temperature balance of the area, composition of soil, waste water and development of water, and wind erosion. The results of monitoring changes in some soil properties of a peat bog over a 20-year period are presented. The results of the geobotanical survey of the peat massif, which was conducted for the first time, are presented. The influence of the action of biotic and abiotic factors on the change of agrochemical characteristics of anthropogenic-transformed peat soil is determined. Depending on the degree of development, it can be used for forage land (cultivation of perennial grasses), on plots (maps) with sufficient reserves of lowland peat for these purposes after clearing channels and diverting excess water, except for the cultivation of perennial grasses; peat extraction for the production of organic fertilizers (compost) is possible.
