Site information for porewater chemistry survey of European peatlands

Description: The study investigates the chemical and physical characteristics of porewater and soil samples from peatlands across 64 sites in Germany, Poland, Estonia, Scotland, Sweden, and Georgia sampled between 1997 and 2017. The sites covers oceanic (Cfb, Cfc) and continental (Dfb, Dfc) climate zones and include both minerotrophic fens and ombrotrophic bogs. Fens were further classified into poor and rich types based on acidity and floristic composition, with rich fens characterized by higher pH and calcium concentrations due to mineral-rich groundwater inputs. The study also distinguishes between natural sites with stable near-surface water tables and rewetted sites previously subjected to drainage and agricultural use.
