Abstract
Values of the three constants in a convenient formula for the calculation of capillary conductivities of peat soils can be evaluated from bulk density and solid matter volume. Though some of the relative equations have a low significancy, they provide a means to calculate in a simple way a mean hydraulic conductivity function for peat soils with given values of the soil properties mentioned above. Examples of such functions are shown. The height of steady state capillary rise in homogeneous fen peats and high bog peats of increasing bulk density are comprised in some diagrams.Keywords
