| Definition | Species-poor poor fen lawn communities of boreal mountains of the Palaearctic domaine, in particular, of the lower alpine zone of western and northern boreal Fennoscandia, dominated by [Carex bigelowii], with a lawn formed of an often continuous sphagnum-dominated carpet of [Sphagnum compactum], [Sphagnum balticum] and [Calliergon sarmentosum]; the scanty species cortège includes [Salix herbacea], sometimes also [Betula nana], [Empetrum hermaphroditum], [Rubus chamaemorus], [Eriophorum angustifolium]. These communities usually cover small surfaces, notably of hollows, of nutrient deficient substrates, often encroaching on snow-patch communities. |
