The Peatland formation and peat accumulation factors combination is not the same in different regions of Belarus, therefore the peatland sizes, peat deposits, peat stocks of various types and territories of general swamping are essentially different. Peatland occupies 2,939,000 ha, or 14.2% of the total area of Belarus. The Belorussian experts classify mires depending on the water-mineral nutrition conditions and the growing vegetation. There are three mire types depending on these criteria: low-moor (eutrophic or fen), transitional (mesotrophic or poor fen) and high-moor (oligothrophic or bog).
The low type peat deposit area in Belarus makes up 81.6% (2,103,800 ha), transitional is around 3.4% (106,200 ha), the high one consists of 15.0% (333,700 ha).

The peat ensures plants protected against parasites and pathogens as well as ensures constant feeding through nutrients and maintenance of the optimum soil acidity, proper aeration of roots. All these contribute to higher yields of crops.
