| Description | The syntaxonomy of fen communities (Scheuchzerio-Caricetea) is quite complicated since the national classification systems are based on regional variation and different classification concepts. Thus we need to establish a consistent vegetation system useful for comunication among scientists and for management, e. g. interpretation of the habitats of European conservation concern within the Natura 2000 network and applied nature protection. We present the large-scale synthesis and syntaxonomical analysis of fen vegetation within the whole Europe, a project coordinated by the Mire ecology working group (Department of Botany and Zoology, Masaryk Univerzity, Brno, Czech Republic). This research is carried out with the help of dozens of data contributors from the entire Europe. |
