General Information Species Next sub-divisions Photos Natura
Common name:
Base-rich fens and calcareous spring mires
Habitat code:
D4
Description:

Peatlands, flushes and vegetated springs with calcareous or eutrophic ground water, within river valleys, alluvial plains, or on hillsides. As in poor fens, the water level is at or near the surface of the substratum and peat formation depends on a permanently high watertable. Excluded are reedbeds (C3, D5).
