Abstract This paper presents the results of a study on peat deposits and radiocarbon dating of basal peat horizons in 43 peatlands located on three key sites within Meshchera Lowlands and Moksha Polesie. Peatlands formed by upland paludification processes and located on watersheds and terraces rising above floodplains were selected for the analysis. The obtained data indicate that the peatland formation process has been ongoing in these regions throughout the entire Holocene epoch and that this process has been affected by the fire regime in the area. In periods with higher wildfire frequencies (8800–5800 and 4200–3200 calendar years BP), changes in the water balance on flat and poorly drained plains occurring after the destruction of forest stands intensified the waterlogging processes.

东欧平原Polesie景观中的泥炭地时代和泥炭地形成阶段

摘要 本文介绍了对位于 Meshchera Lowlands 和 Moksha Polesie 三个关键地点的 43 个泥炭地中的泥炭沉积和基础泥炭层位进行放射性碳测年的研究结果。由高地沼泽化过程形成的泥炭地位于漫滩之上的流域和阶地，被选择用于分析。获得的数据表明，在整个全新世时期，这些地区的泥炭地形成过程一直在进行，并且该过程受到该地区火灾状况的影响。在野火频率较高的时期（8800-5800 和 4200-3200 历年 BP），在林分遭到破坏后发生的平坦和排水不良的平原上的水平衡变化加剧了内涝过程。
