Abstract

The dynamics of natural recovery of bog massifs in Tver oblast, which suffered from fire in 2010, is discussed. The presented conclusions are based on three-year field observations at check sites of Galitskii mokh bog along with monitored variations of the physicochemical properties of peat ash and pyrolyzed peat, bog water chemistry, the development of microbial communities, and vegetation recovery. Moreover, some features of bog massif flooding are discussed.
