Abstract

The attempt to produce a harmonized classification of European mires and to conduct a syntaxonomical analysis on the basis of individual releves has led to the creation of the European Mire Vegetation Database (GIVD ID: EU-00-022, http://www.givd.info/ID/EU-00-022). The database is managed by the Mire Ecology Working Group (Department of Botany and Zoology, Masaryk University, Brno). In May 2015 this database was comprised of 10,147 releves of the classes Scheuchzerio palustris-Caricetea nigrae and Oxycocco-Sphagnetea published in various monographs, manuscripts or journals, but not stored in any other national or regional electronic vegetation databases. Only releves where bryophytes were identified as well as vascular plants were computerized. Most of the newly digitized data are from Northern and Southeastern European regions. Geographical coordinates are available for individual vegetation plots, their accuracy depends on the precision of the location description given. The European Mire Vegetation Database has been integrated in the European Vegetation Archive as a repository of mire vegetation not included in other national or regional databases.
