Abstract

Mire ecosystems in Western Siberia play a significant role in the environment and sustain ecological balance in the biosphere. The aim of the research was to study the chemical and biological processes of mire pedogenesis and the influence of this process on the formation of the composition of bog water and its migration to surface waters. The research was carried out in the southern taiga zone of Western Siberia in a small catchment of the Klyuch River within a catena of geochemically linked mire landscapes. The chemical and microbiological properties of the peat soils were studied in autonomous, transitional, and accumulative geomorphic positions; their influence on the formation of chemical composition of bog water was determined in each position. It was shown that a predominance of certain plant associations (oligotrophic sphagnum, cotton grass, or sedges) caused the accumulation of organic matter of significantly different chemical compositions. The biochemical activity could be traced throughout the peat profiles and affected significantly the chemical composition of bog water. Bog water had certain individual chemical properties in each landscape position. The factors affecting the migration of substances and the removal of chemical compounds beyond the studied profile were determined. The overall removal of macroelements with runoff flows during the growing season amounted up to 4843 kg/km2 for Ca2+, 51.7 kg/km2 for total Fe, 1419.0 kg/km2 for \({\text{SO}}_{4}^{{2 - }},\) 2.253 × 10–3 kg/km2 for Pb, 10.037 × 10–3 kg/km2 for Cu, 317.29 × 10–3 kg/km2 for Mn, 41.191 × 10–3 kg/km2 for Zn, 8.151 × 10–3 kg/km2 for Ni, and 29.651 × 10–3 kg/km2 for Ti. The removal of organic matter reached 583.2 kg C/km2. The influence of bog water (especially, its organic components) on the water composition in the Klyuch River was clearly shown. Our data on the chemical composition of bog water in the system of geochemically linked more landscapes and on the bog water migration from the boggy catchment can be used to forecast the geochemical situation in the surface waters of boggy territories.
