Great Vasyugan Mire: landscape structure and peat deposit structure features.

Research into the medium-forming role of bogs is done in the confined space of bog sites. Various bog types with specific conditions react to global climate change in different ways. To extrapolate fairly the data of selective (to the scale of Western Siberia) researches, the information about bog cover structure of a large area is necessary. In the paper, we present the data concerning landscape structure of the Great Vasyugan Mire over the area of 5.5 mn ha, in accordance with 15 types of bog sites. Peat deposit structure features are given for different bog types. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
