Postpyrogenic development and fire protection of bog soils

A case study of the drained soils of the Posolsky bog massif in the Republic of Buryatia showed a fire-induced transformation of peat soils (Histosols) resulting in pyrogenic formations. The effect of fire leads to a change in the physico-chemical properties of soils and to large losses of mineral substances and organic carbon. Pyrogenic accumulation of carbonates is observed.
