%X Abstract: The „Schlichtes Moor“ kettle-hole mire is one of the few remaining undisturbed extremely deep mires in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Hydrological and stratigraphic investigations provided data to interpret how the mire developed, its status, and how the mire is recharged with water. The mire has a thickness of more than 20 m in the centre. Since the Subboreal, it has primarily been forming moss peat and sphagnum peat at a rate of more than 4 mm/year. The mire is recharged with water via precipitation, surface runoff, interflow and groundwater. The evaluation of groundwater and mire water hydrographs revealed evidence for the hydrogenetic kettle-hole mire type. The thick, very aqueous peat retains the water well and thus enables the bog to withstand limit dry periods. However, the results of the stratigraphic investigations, and the topographic-hydrological situation, reveal that the Schlichte Moor has already reached an advanced stage of development, so that longer arid periods can lead to the formation of woodland. After a number of dry years, birches have grown in the southern part of the mire since the mid 1990s, although the northern part with the valuable „coloured sphagnum moss lawn“ is still largely free of trees. The further development of the trees must be observed, but conservation work involving the removal of birches is not prudent at the present time, and could even exacerbate the negative developments from a nature conservation point of view.
