| Description | We tested whether vegetation composition of ombrotrophic bogs with an undisturbed water regime is resistant or sensitive to ongoing high atmospheric deposition and climatic changes. When water regime is not affected, the bog vegetation seems to be rather resistant to high atmospheric deposition and climate fluctuation. A significant change of the species composition occurs only in the long-term perspective. Particular species could, however, decrease or increase their frequencies more rapidly. |
