我国泥炭的研究相对地集中在北方,尤其是东北三省,而对南方泥炭的研究显得较弱。泥炭是福建沿海主要的第四纪沉积之一,在福建沿海分布相当普遍。据统计,该区所发现的泥炭点有380多处,在沿海平原地带就有140多处,储量在万吨以上的60处,福州、长乐、莆田等地还有100万吨以上的泥炭分布。近年来,一些科研工作者进行了调查研究,认为福建沿海泥炭是滨海相沉积,为晚更新世海侵地层,或者是全新世海 The peat research in our country is relatively concentrated in the north, especially in the three northeastern provinces, while the research on peat in the south is weak. Peat is one of the major Quaternary sediments along the coast of Fujian Province and is fairly widespread along Fujian coast. According to statistics, there are more than 380 peat sites discovered in this area, over 140 in the coastal plain area and 60 reserves above 10,000 tons. There are over 1 million tons of peat distribution in Fuzhou, Changle and Putian . In recent years, some researchers conducted a survey and study, that coastal Fujian peat is the coastal deposition, the late Pleistocene transgression strata, or the Holocene
