In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern peatland soils cover an area of 280.000 ha, thereof 4.000 ha are bog soils. In the present article the soil functions according to the German Soil Protection Law are evaluated and the German and international def initions of peatland soils are compared. It is shown to what extent the peatland soils fullf ill their proper functions. Although the renaturation of peatlands is examplary in Mecklenburg Western-Pomerania, there is little information about soil changes after rewetting. Additionally, with regard to the ongoing soil change caused by drainage and intensive land use during the last 50 years, an up to date and area wide soil mapping is missing. The „Programme for the protection of peatlands“, passed 2009, gives us the opportunity to protect the peatland soils in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and to restore their functions. A monitoring is needed to reach the aims.}, note = { \url {http://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gldocs-11858/7291}}, }
