How do hydrogeological setting and meteorological conditions influence water table depth and fluctuations in ombrotrophic peatlands?

Peatlands are wetland ecosystems where net primary production exceeds organic matter decomposition. They are characterized by a near-surface water table controlled by a combination of internal and external processes, influenced by short-term meteorological and long-term climate variations among othe...
