Abstract:
Wide patches of fruiting Carex
pulicaris L. (subatlantic element in Polish flora) were found in the Myrico-Salicetum sphagnetosum Pass.
1961 var. Molinia caerulea
association, within the wetland area in Western Pomerania (Poland). Field
observations included measurements of ground-waters, reaction of soil and
seasonally stagnant waters, the height of Molinia
caerulea tufts and also floral and phytosociological observations.
Microhabitats of Carex pulicaris were
tufts formed both by dead and living parts of Molinia caerulea. Artificially regulated level of inundation
waters of local rivers had influence on site conditions suitable for Carex pulicaris. Distribution of Carex pulicaris within the area of
investigations was connected with Molinia
caerulea occurrence. |
