Title: The estimation of the subsidence rate of drained peatland and verification of empirical equations of this process

Keywords: subsidence of peatlands, subsidence rate, empirical equations of subsidence

Abstract: The papers presents the soil surface subsidence rate of drained (1967–1971) peat deposit in 1978–2015 years. The very high differences of the rate was observed on relatively small area (15 ha). The subsidence rate was observed in the range from 0.06 to 1.56 cm·year–1. The percentage loss of the peat deposit thickness in the years 1978– –2015 in the analyzed area was varied and did not depend on the initial thickness of the peat deposit. It oscillated between 2 and approx. 44%. The obtained measured data were able to perform the verification of selected published in the literature empirical equations to predict the subsidence rate of soil surface of drained many years ago lowland peatlands.
