With the objective to identify if the hydrological variability has any effect over the plant composition and peat soils structure, this work assessed hydrological, hydraulic and biological variables in four peatlands with different environmental condition in Nor Yauyos - Cochas Landscape Reserve. Our results showed that all the studied bofedales are groundwater dependent systems (minerotrophic peatlands or ‘fens’). Hydrology is a key factor for the development and conservation of those ecosystems, this kind of wetlands requires very stable hydrological conditions and permanently shallow groundwater levels. When those conditions occurs the vegetation was strongly dominated by Distichia muscoides Nees & Meyen, a plant species that have a remarkable vertical growth pattern pushing the debris bellow the ground to form peat. If the groundwater level fluctuates surpassing some thresholds along the year, or drops far to the ground permanently, the dominance pattern of D. muscoides can be reduced becoming replaced by other species, some of them frequent but no dominants in peatlands and other not present at all in normal conditions. This research showed that under the best bofedale conditions those cushion plants peatlands are dominated by D. muscoides (>60 % of the vegetation), that occurs when the groundwater level don’t drops farther than 50 cm below ground level all around the year. Under these conditions the shallow peat layer hydraulic conductivity (25 - 50 cm depth) was measured around 10−4 cm/s.
