Afterfire successions of peat mosses in the central Russia

摘要

Ecological characteristics of the wide-spread Sphagnum mosses are known quite well (Savitz-Ljubitzkaya, 1952, 1968; Smolyanitzky, 1977; Vitt el al., 1975; Rochefort et al., 1990, etc). Less is known about time-dependent dynamics of the species. In the present work succession series are given in which Sphagnum species of oligotrophic and mesotrophic bogs and swamps are lined. The impact of fires is taken into account for each species. Pyrogenic (after-fire) species of peat mosses in bogs are demonstrated for the first time.
