The Mires of Central Elevated Part of the Vetrenyj Poyas Range

Abstract

The plant cover, structure and types of mires in the highest central Vetrenyj Poyas range (upland) are described. The oligotrophic and mesooligotrophic, cotton grass-Sphagnum mire complexes, located on terraces varying in the hypsometric level, were shown to predominate here. The mires are combined, forming stepwise, cascade mire systems. The spatial structure of the vegetation on most of the mires is homogeneous, and consists of a small number of mire sites. Slope massifs with complex spatial plant sequences have been revealed. Mesotrophic ridge-hollow mire sites, which have the main features of Karelian aapa-type mire complexes, also occur there. Solitary massifs of this type have not been found. Spring mires with poor plant species composition were founded on the slopes of the highest ridge of the range. Comparison of the mires on the terraced surfaces at the northern foot of the range and its south-facing slopes has shown that the elevated part of the Vetrenyj Poyas range forms a boundary between various geographic types of mires.
