Structure and Properties of Peat Humic Substances / Struktur och egenskaper för humus från torv
Humic substances are formed in very different environment and the relations between properties (and structure) and precursor biota composition still is far from being clarified. The aim of this study was to analyse relations between properties of the peat, peat humic acids and humification degree on example of analysis of three bog profiles in ombrotrophic bogs to identify the links between peat age, decomposition and humification degree, botanical composition and properties of peat humic acids (elemental, functional composition). The found variability of peat properties is much less than the significant differences in properties of peat forming living matter thus stressing the dominant impact of humification process on peat properties.
