Geography
The Michurinsky swamp is located in the northern part of the Sheshupskoye lake-glacial plain, 3 km southeast of Krasnoznamensk . It is a peat deposit up to 5 m thick, the upper layers of which are poorly decomposed upper sphagnum peat, and the lower layers are highly decomposed lowland peat. The hydrological regime has been changed due to drainage forestry operations; the state of the swamp is close to natural [3] . The swamp feeds the headwaters of the Instruch River.
