91D0 - Tourbières boisées

Bog woodland

Liste hiérarchisée et descriptifs des Habitats d'Intérêt Communautaire (HIC) de la directive "Habitats-Faune-Flore"

Définition EUR 28

Coniferous and broad-leaved forests on a humid to wet peaty substrate, with the water level permanently high and even higher than the surrounding water table. The water is always very poor in nutrients (raised bogs and acid fens). These communities are generally dominated by Betula pubescens, Frangula alnus, Pinus sylvestris, Pinus rotundata and Picea abies, with species specific to bogland or, more generally, to oligotrophic environments, such as Vaccinium spp., Sphagnum spp., Carex spp. [Vaccinio-Piceetea: Piceo-Vaccinienion uliginosi (Betulion pubescentis, Ledo-Pinion) i.a.]. In the Boreal region, also spruce swamp woods, which are minerotrophic mire sites along margins of different mire complexes, as well as in separate strips in valleys and along brooks.
Sub-types :
44.A1 - Sphagnum birch woods
44.A2 - Scots pine mire woods
44.A3 - Mountain pine bog woods
44.A4 - Mire spruce woods

Remarques

Forests on the edge of upland bogs or transition mires may form a transition towards swamp forests (Alnetea glutinosa, Alno-Ulmion pp.). Where bog woodland has colonized former non-woodland bog because of human impacts (bog degradation), the bog woodland may be removed in order to restore favourable conservation status of the former bog (types 7110, 7130 and 7140). Such secondary bog woodland is included in the definition of type 91D0, but generally has lower conservation priority than restoration of the original bog type.
