摘要
An ombrotrophic peat bog is a domed peatland in which the surface peat layers are hydrologically isolated from the influence of local ground and surface water, and are fed exclusively by atmospheric deposition consisting of both soild particles and mineral substances dissolved in rain water. This paper reviews the approaches used to establish depth-age relationships in peat chronologies, and summarizes a large number of informed studies relative to deducing historical influence of ocean, rock-soil and human society on atmosphere. Finally, the slightly insufficient parts as well as the prospect of peat bog archives towards atmospheric variations are put forward.
