Abstract
The coefficients of thermal conductivity of peat soils enriched in mineral substances were determined. The influence of water content, bulk density, a nd the concentration of sand on these coefficients was generalized as an em pirical regression equation. An analytical method for the calculation of th e thermal conductivity of a peat-mineral system was developed.
