Description

Historical data from ‘Det Norske Myrselskap’ collected as part of the inventory program of potential peatlands for development and use in the time period 1930-1980. The original paper versions of the report are stored by NIBIO. The original dataset includes data from basic soil parameters and site description. Additionally, the dataset contains georeferenced polygons extracted from the original data under the project "Roadmap for generating soil map for Norwegian pristine mires".

Sampling

The data were collected from different mires classified to following categories: A. Dyrkingsverdet (d) 1 = meget gode dyrkingsmyrer 2 = gode dyrkningsmyrer 3 = noenlunde gode dyrkingsmyrer 4 = mindre gode dyrkingsmyrer 5 = dårlige dyrkningsmyrer B. Mire type lm = lyngrik mosemyr mm = mosemyr gm = gressrik mosemyr g = gressmyr l = lyngmyr bm = bjørkeskogmyr km = krattmyr Following main parameters were measured and reported based on methods detailed in Hovde 1971: · Peat depth · Ash % · N % · CaO
