Assessment of disturbance of the peatlands and efficiency their use on the basis of the Smolevichi district
Abstract
An analysis of satellite images of 42 peatlands with a total area of 25,168 hectares or 18.5 % of the territory of the Smolevichi district of the Minsk region showed that about 14.8 % of the peatlands remained intact (natural bog), the rest was subjected to hydrotechnical reclamation. The area of peat deposits retired from industrial exploitation is 41.4 %, of which 70.2 % are in a disturbed state. A comparative ecological assessment of the worked-out area of the Usyazh peat deposit is given, taking into account the genesis, geomorphological features of the deposit, hydrological characteristics of the object, the quality of the residual peat layer and underlying rocks and possible directions of use, as well as a feasibility study and social justification for the expediency of environmental protection use.
