The botanical composition, which reflects the type of original vegetation, determines the type of peat. In total, three types were identified: upland, transitional and lowland.
High peat is formed mainly in eutrophic bolts, which are characterized by a high saturation of nutrients.
This type of peat is different:
Transitional peat is peat that formed on bolts with a low level of primary production. The botanical composition of the vegetation of these swamps contains more than 10% remains of oligotrophic and eutrophic types.
The transitional type of peat is characterized
Lowland peat contains no more than 10% vegetation of the oligopeat type. It forms mainly in river valleys and absorbs a lot of water.
Lowland peat is characterized by:
