| Definition | Fen lawn communities of the western Palaearctic, in particular, of the mountains of Fennoscandia, of central Finland, southern Sweden and Denmark, and of the Faeroe Islands, dominated by [Molinia caerulea], [Scirpus cespitosus ssp. cespitosus] ([Trichophorum cespitosum]), [Narthecium ossifragum] with [Myrica gale], with a sphagnum carpet mainly of [Sphagnum papillosum] and [Sphagnum compactum]; These communities occur on strings and, in mountainous areas, in mire margins and along soaks. The species cortège includes, among others, [Carex dioica], [Carex echinata], [Eriophorum vaginatum], [Selaginella selaginoides], [Viola palustris], [Calliergon stramineum], [Drepanocladus badius]. Communities of the Faeroe Islands lack [Sphagnum compactum] and [Myrica gale]; they may be dominated by [Eriophorum angustifolium]. |
