Drainage severely changes the environment and ecological process in peatlands, but how does it affect the germinability of Sphagnum spores in peat remains unclear. In this study, we took two peat cores from a near-pristine stand dominated by Sphagnum and a drained stand dominated by dwarf shrubs in Baijianghe Peatland in the Changbai Mountains as experimental materials. Those peat cores were cut into slices. Physicochemical characteristics were measured while Sphagnum spores from each slice were extracted to count spore density and test spore germinability. After dating and determining relationship between peat depth and age, we tried to figure out the mechanism underlying the responses of Sphagnum spore germinability to drainage. The average number of spores in the near-pristine stand was slightly higher than that in the drained stand. There was no difference in average spore germinability between the two stands. The drained stand showed higher peat bulk density, total carbon and total nitrogen relative to the near-pristine stand. Upper peat core showed no significant difference in spore accumulation rate between the two stands after drainage (in 1987), with lower average spore germinability (34%) in the near-pristine stand relative to the drained stand (72%). For the whole peat cores, C/N was positively correlated with spore ger-minability in the near-pristine stand while total carbon, pH and burial time were negatively correlated with spore germinability in the drained stand. The drainage 30 years ago had limited effect on spore accumulation, but improved germinability of spores in shallow peat by changing physicochemical properties of peat due to accelerating decomposition, and thus reduced the persistence of spore bank. This may reduce the persistent regeneration potential of Sphagnum after catastrophic distur-bances.
