For the first time for forested wetlands the peat soils were evaluated for the purpose of meliorative value. Morphometric parameters of needles were shown to be helpful in forest melioration practice. This is affordable, simple and effective indicators for the site class of natural unmanaged wetland pine stands and for the estimation of draining effectiveness.
