Abstract
There are few publications on the classification of vegetation of Scheuchzerio–Caricetea nigrae class in the Arctic (Daniёls, 1982; Matveyeva, 1994; Zanokha, 2003). In Russia classification of mires is more or less well designed for the taiga zone of the European North and the West Siberia. Communities of sedge-hypnum mires and sedge-sphagnum hollows of flat palsa-bogs in the East European tundra are described in the dominant classification traditions (Andreev, 1932; Bogdanovskaya-Gienef, 1938; Dedov, 2006). N. Yа. Katz (1936) briefly described the vegetation of the Arctic mineral sedge mires on the Vaygach Island. In present paper the results of the mires classification carried out upon the basis of 148 relevés made in 1998–2014 in 26 sites in the East European tundra along the latitudinal gradient from typical tundra to northern forest-tundra.
