Mires In The British National Vegetation Classification System

	Mires In The British National Vegetation Classification System This article gives an overview of the mire plant communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. Introduction The mire communities of the NVC were described in Volume 2 of ''British Plant Communities'', first published in 1991, along with the heath communities. In total, 38 mire communities have been identified. The mire communities consist of a number of separate subgroups. * five bog plane communities ( M17, M18, M19, M20 and M21) * two wet heath communities ( M15 and M16) * four bog-pool communities ( M1, M2, M3 and M4) * four base-poor small sedge & rush communities ( M5, M6, M7 and M8) * six base-poor small sedge & ''Schoenus'' communities ( M9, M10, M11, M12, M13 and M14) * seven fen-meadow A fen-meadow is a type of peatland, common in North America and Europe, that receives water from precipitation and groundwater.

picture info	Plant Communities A plant community is a collection or association of plant species within a designated geographical unit, which forms a relatively uniform patch, distinguishable from neighboring patches of different vegetation types. The components of each plant community are influenced by soil type, topography, climate and human disturbance. In many cases there are several soil types present within a given plant community. This is because the soil type within an area is influenced by two factors, the rate at which water infiltrates or exits (via evapotranspiration) the soil, as well as the rate at which organic matter (any carbon-based compound within the environment, such as decaying plant matter) enters or decays from the soil. Plant communities are studied substantially by ecologists, due to providing information on the effects of dispersal, tolerance to environmental conditions, and response to disturbance of a variety of plant species, information valuable to the comprehension of various plant ...

picture info	Fen-meadow A fen-meadow is a type of peatland, common in North America and Europe, that receives water from precipitation and groundwater. Habitat The continuous flow of mineral-rich and nutrient-poor acidic groundwater through fen-meadow topsoil fosters endemic plant species, including plant associations such as '' Juncus subnodulosus-Cirsium palustre'', and protects them from floods, droughts, and nutrient pollution. Degradation by human activity Fen meadows have been severely impacted by farming, resulting in hydrological changes, acidification, and nutrient pollution, leaving few preserved into the 21st century. Compositional transformations and increased groundwater flow have the greatest effect this habitat and can degrade peat. Keeping water tables at appropriate levels allows fen meadows to regulate themselves. Restoration efforts are difficult and no deteriorated fens have been fully restored. Therefore, preservation efforts focus on maintaining fen meadows with slight to no ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
