Abstract

The article covers the results of the VII International Field Symposium "West Siberian Peatlands and the Carbon Cycle: Past and Present", which was held in the Khanty-Mansiysk autonomous okrug – Yugra (Khanty-Mansiysk, Beloyarsky) in August 16–26, 2024. The Symposium brought together over 180 scientists specializing in bog science, ecology and carbon balance. The main topics of the plenary and sectional sessions were: the role of bogs in the global carbon cycle, environmental modeling, biodiversity and ecology of bogs, biogeochemical cycles of natural andanthropogenically disturbed bog ecosystems, biogeochemistry of peat and bog waters, paleoecology and history of bog ecosystems development, the impact of modern climate change on forest-bog ecosystems. At the roundtable meetings, the participants discussed the possibilities of using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the study and mapping of bog ecosystems, and shared their experience in implementation of forest-climate projects.
