Abstract
The application of multiparametric statistical methods has confirmed that peat soils are different in the degree of their drainage and properties because of their modification during a 20–25 year period of artificial drainage operation. The following sequence represents the relative significance of the contribution to the soil changes of the parameters studied: groundwater table > air capacity > pH > 0T > Eh > water-soluble: C > Fe3+ > NH +4 and the activity of soil oxidoreductases in the following sequence: peroxidase > catalase > dehydrogenase. The necessity to supplement the substantive-genetic principle of the classification of drained peat soils with characterization of their water regime is substantiated.
