“…It is difficult to extrapolate local ET, determined by instruments, to total E T for an entire bog or fen. In Europe, E T in bogs has commonly been measured for small vegetation stands by lysimeters (see Ingram 1983), atmometers or evaporimeters (Dilley and Helmond 1973), and evaporation pans. Empirical calculations (e.g., Thornthwaite 1948) and energy balances (Penman 1963, Romanov 1968, Sokolov and Chapman 1974 are used to determine E T over larger wetland areas, but have similar theoretical limitations, as do the experimental methods.…”

/ Few quantitative studies have been done on the hydrology of fens, bogs, and mires. Consequently predicting the cumulative impacts of disturbances on their hydrologic functions is extremely difficult. For example, few data are available on the role of bogs and fens with respect to flood desynchronization and shoreline anchoring. However, recent studies suggest that very small amounts of groundwater discharge are sufficient to radically modify mire surface-water chemistry, and consequently, vegetation communities and their associated surface-water hydrology. Bogs and fens are, in a sense, hydrobiologic systems, and any evaluation of cumulative impacts will have to (1) consider the complicated and little understood interactions among wetland hydrology, water chemistry, and biota, and (2) place the effect of individual wetland impacts within the context of the cumulative impacts contributed to the watershed from other geomorphic areas and land uses.
