| Abstract: | Regression relations between the first main component, slope of the SBC curve towards the wavelength axis, and the degree
of mineralization of peat soils are established from experimental data. Errors in determination of peat soil productivity
are estimated using different spectral indices. For practical use it is recommended to measure the spectral brightness coefficients
of peat soils in the 0.50–0.75 μm range.
