THE GROWTH DYNAMICS OF THE ACROTELM LAYER OF THE RAISED BOG „BÓR ZA LASEM” IN THE ORAWSKO-NOWOTARSKA BASIN
Journal Title: ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF POLISH AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITIES - Year 2010, Vol 13, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper presents assessment and results of research on the rate of annual increment of organic matter accumulated in the top, only slightly decomposed acrotelm layer of a raised bog, on the basis of the age of trees which grow there (Pinus sylvestris). Additionally, the plant cover was characterised. The research showed that the average annual increment amounts to 4.70 mm. The research object is of outstanding environmental importance with considerable aesthetic and landscape values. It is proposed that the bog should become a protected area in the form of a reserve.
