Description
The fifty year experience of grassland establishment used for pasture under systematic fertilization, maintenance and temperate or regulated drainage is an example of effective sown meadow longevity and conservation of fertility and organic matter in lowland peat soil in the North-East European part of the USSR. At the same time the 20-year observation proved that the need for special complex measures arises to create and keep up effective fertility in lowland peat lands after peat extraction and withdrawal of the most peat mass (cutover bogs). Artificial meadows are of great importance here, they can guarantee high productivity and become an indispensable part of cultural landscape organized on antropogenically disturbed land.
