About a technique of an estimation of contemporary apparent rate of peat accumulation // Mire Ecosystems in Northern Europe: Diversity, Dynamics, Carbon Balance, Resources and Conservation.

The technique of estimation of contemporary apparent rate of peat accumulation (during 0–20, 0–30 year B.P., maybe some more) is offered. Dating of an overhead peat layer is made by advanced «pine method». Root collar position and its depth are established before excavation of a pine from peat. The height mark of an unimpaired surface of soil above root collar and height mark itself root collar after its clearing from peat is determined with the help of a geodetic level. The peat borer of greater diameter is used – about 20 sm for more exact definition of volumetric weight of peat. The bog surface is reflected by levelling of points of 2×2 m for the subsequent representative calculation of the different microsites contribution to the peat accumulation.
