State estimation and recultivation of pirogenic degraded peat soils

Using the example of drained soils of the Padun peatland in the Republic Bashkortostan, there was shown that the peat horizons completely burn down during fires. The exposed mineral (usually gley) horizons become enriched in ash elements (P, K, Ca) and poor in nitrogen. The salt mode of soils and ground waters is studied at pirogenic degradation aggravated with secondary bogging and pollution by oilfield waste waters. The variant of recultivation of pirogenic degraded soil is offered.
