Abstract
AbstractIn this paper, the authors identified a number of characteristic features of the transformation of peat organic matter in the conditions of the North. In particular, it has been established that the subarctic zone is characterized by a decrease of humification depth and the predominance of fulvate type of humus formation. This is caused by the presence of particular climatic influences and, in particular, frost deposits, as a factor having a significant effect on the formation of the structure and group chemical composition of peat. The influence of the bitumen component on the process of humification of the organic part during peat accumulation has been revealed. It is primarily due to the inhibition of the formation of polyconjugation structures which are the main structure-forming humic substances.KeywordsHigh-moor peatOrganic matterOrganic component compositionHumificationGeoclimatic conditions
