Aapa strings
Description (English)
Ridges and hummocks of aapa mires of the western boreal zone of the Palaearctic domaine, minerotrophic or partly ombrotrophic, generally long and narrow, lying perpendicular to the slope direction, alternating with elongated water-filled depressions. Low strings carry Molinia- or sedge-dominated communities, higher strings communities very similar to those of bog hummocks, unsually with small shrubs or pines.
