Abstract

The reclamation and exploitation of land areas previously considered intractable are essential features of modern agriculture. The deep masses of raised bog peat (hochmoor) found in Ireland, Germany, Finland and Russia have, until recently, been considered of little agricultural importance. Developments in the field of peat exploitation for fuel have now changed this position and such areas may eventually add considerably to the agricultural wealth of their respective countries. Many microbiological problems accompany such reclamation schemes.
