Vegetational gradients in relation to environmental conditions in northwestern European mires
Abstract
Floristically characterized gradients related to (i) mire surface microtopography, (ii) marginal versus central areas, (iii) ombrotrophy and minerotrophy ("poor and rich mires"), and (iv) distance from the sea can be recognized in the mire vegetation of northwestern Europe. Along these gradients variation occurs in (i) oscillations in the water level, (ii) origin and flow of water, and (iii) supply of minerals. These conditions influence the decay processes and the resulting peat accumulation rate, pH, mineral nutrient supply, and productivity. The differences between marginal and open areas result from differences in nutrient supply (N,P,K), while the differences between "poor and rich" mires are due to differences in the reactions of the peat. In Sphagnum-dominated vegetation, most floristic variation results from effects of differences in peat accumulation rates. Climatic conditions, other than atmospheric supply of minerals, are most important in establishing the regional floristic differences in the bog vegetation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
