Science
Environment & Ecology
Durchströmungsmoore sind von einem ständigen Wasserstrom durch den obersten Torfkörper geprägt. Dadurch entsteht ein kontinuierlich wachsender, lockerer Torf. Das Durchströmungsmoor weist eine natürliche Neigung auf, die aber nicht mehr als 4% betragen darf. Wird das Gefälle überschritten, kann das Wasser nicht mehr im Torfkörper gehalten werden, es tritt an die Oberfläche

Note from asker:
| Thanks for your help! However, I'm not entirely convinced by the term since only two bogs of this type em to exist worldwide, both in Georgia. |
| Forget my previous comment. Finding more info on percolation fens in other parts of the world. Sorry about that! |
