By the year 2015 we have found the following. Grass and wooden vegetation recovered intensively for 2-3 years after fire. Birch, willow and cottongrass community with alder and aspen, and little abundance of pine on Radovitskii Mokh, have formed by the time of study. Chemical composition of peat ash and pyrogenic peat has changed essentially and differently on the sites. However concentration of chemical elements under study has not reached the pre-fire values. Chemical composition of wetland waters on Radovitskii Mokh has become similar to pre-fire. On the other hand, wetland waters on Galitskii Mokh still have contained high concentrations of sulfates and phosphorus. Keywords: drained wetlands, peat fires, vegetation recovery, hydrochemical indicators in ash, pyrogenic peat, wetland waters.
