Habitat diversity of central European fens in relation to environmental gradients and an effort to standardise fen terminology in ecological studies
Original language description
In this paper, we demonstrated that the bog-fen boundary is clearly determinable not by pH, but by a set of nutrient-requiring species that avoid truly ombrotrophic conditions in central Europe. We therefore defined fens as groundwater-fed wetlands thathost low productive nutrient-limited vegetation dominated by Cyperaceae and bryophytes. The fertility gradient within fens is easily distinguishable using both plant and animal data, but it appears primarily within calcium-richer fens. We suggest defining fen grasslands by the high abundance of nutrient-requiring grasses and forbs rather than purely by fen origin and management. Concerning pH/calcium gradient, there is large variation in plant, mollusc, algal, fungal and testacean assemblages within fens with a pH45.5 in central Europe even though some authors named all mires having such pH (rich) fens. This clear and extended poor?rich (pH/calcium) gradient in floristical data is independent of the fertility gradient. Conductivity (app
