Abstract

Ecological analysis of the vascular plant flora and 20 associations on 63 small mid-boreal mires of Karelia was performed using Ellenberg’s indicator values for four ecological factors (light, moisture, substrate reaction, substrate nitrogen). The flora is mainly dominated by heliophilous (57 %), hygrophytic (84 %), acidophilous (58 %) and oligotrophic (72 %) species of vascular plants. Ordination of the syntaxa shows that the leading factors for the distribution of communities in the space of ecological gradient factors are substrate acidity and richness in nitrogen.
