Summary/Abstract: The area of the studied peatland is a fragment of a complex of wetlands occupying the floor of the Warsaw-Berlin ice-marginal valley in the region of Łęczyca. The specificity of this part of the valley and the peatland in Błonie is influenced by the watershed location and the Kłodawa rock salt dome of the Permian age. The thickness and lithology of biogenic deposits were identified, and the physicochemical parameters of the sediments and their dating were determined in the selected research profile. This made it possible to reconstruct the most important phases of wetland development, reflecting the natural and anthropogenic changes in the conditions of the geographical environment that prevailed in the area of the Warsaw-Berlin ice-marginal valley in the section between Łęczyca and Błonie
