Spatial-Temporal Regularities in Changing Chemical Composition of Bog Waters in Taiga Zone of Western Siberia

Abstract

The generalization of data on bog water chemistry has been performed in taiga zone of Western Siberia within 1998-2011. It is shown that the decrease in dissolved salt concentrations over the territories included in the row «eutrophic swamp - mesotrophic swamp - oligotrophic bog» is observed in the course of deterioration of water-mineral supply for bog plants, in the cross-section of peat formation - from inert layer to the upper part of active layer. It is stated that during a year there are maximums in trace element contents, biogenic matter, organic acids in spring and most of principle ions - in summer.
