Diagnose

Ombrotrophic bog-hollow vegetation of Eurasia

Remarques

sch28 : This vegetation was formerly classified within the Rhynchosporion together with moderately rich minerotrophic fens. I suggest that recognising a separate alliance for ombrotrophic bog hollows is ecologically sensible because all ecological classifications of mires use ombrotrophic and minerotrophic conditions as the leading classification criteria. Dengler et al. (2004) proposed to separate bog hollows from the Scheuchzerio-Caricetea fuscae. Because the Rhynchosporion albae was described from minerotrophic fens, the latter name cannot be used for the vegetation classified here as the Scheuchzerion palustris. (MH) KD disagrees with this solution.
