abstract: The measurements of the width and surface of the mossy floating mats were performed in the humic Lake Smolak 28 year after its liming and fertilization. The proceeding decay of peatmoss moor manifests itself by the forming and enlarging of the existing water eyelets in the peatmoss zone surrounding the lake. In the year 2002 peatmoss moor surrounded only 51% of the shoreline, occupying somewhat above 3% of the total lake area. The reason of this decay is, undoubtedly, alkaline water reaction.
