Morphology of peatland lakes

摘要: The morphometric features of 10 small (0.1-2.9 ha) and shallow (4-16 m) peatland lakes, located in basins filled with peat, were examined. elongation such lakes the development coefficient their shorelines are very low. mean depth is close to maximum value (7.0 ±4.8 7.8 ±3.9 m, respectively), as lake bottom normally flat basin walls often vertical. In terms features, divided into large (1.92 ±1.12 (0.33 ±0.33 ha). former surrounded by a relatively narrow belt peatlands characterized low values Ohle Schindler factor (1.81 ±2.04 0.32 ±0.13), which makes them susceptible effect peatlands. smallest central part big Their five times higher, whereas volume ten less (13 750 m3 compared 125 000 m3; p<0.001). slope angle considerable. there little space that could be occupied vegetation. deep moraine-dammed plants occur only on vertical walls, water bodies, also thrive bottom.
