SCH-02D - Sphagno warnstorfii-Tomentypnion nitentis Dahl 1957

Classification phytosociologique européenne (Eurovegchecklist, 2016)

Diagnose

Moderately calcium-rich sedge-moss fens of the boreal zone and montainous regions in the nemoral zone of Europe

Remarques

sch12 : KD and Dengler et al. (2004) suggested considering this syntaxon synonymous with the Caricion fuscae Koch 1926. In contrast to the Caricion fuscae Koch 1926 (syn: Caricion canescenti-nigrae Nordhagen 1937), the communities of this alliance contain calcicolous species characteristic of the Caricetalia davallianae, a group of boreal mosses characterising rich fens as well as species of moderately rich and poor fens. The Sphagno warnstorfii-Tomentypnion nitentis is an ecologically well-defined alliance and still in use in regional and national vegetation surveys across Europe (e.g. in former Czechoslovakia: Hájek & Hájková in Chytrý 2011; Dítě et al. 2007; in Scandinavia: Moen et al. 2012, and in Russia: Korotkov et al. 1991; Koroleva 2006; Lapshina 2010). If not accepted, the communities of this alliance should be classified in the Caricion fuscae and the Caricion davallianae (e.g. Dierßen 1982). (MH).
