Aapa flarks
Description (English)
Pools and hollows of aapa mires of the western boreal zone, mostly inundated, minerotrophic, most often mesotrophic or eutrophic, mostly shallow, sometimes deep, usually elongated, arranged perpendicularly to the slope direction, alternating with damming ridges, but sometimes more extensive, covering large ridge-free surfaces. They are predominantly colonised by small sedge fen communities, most often mud-bottom communities of unit D2.3H2, sometimes transition mire communities of unit D2.3, rich fen communities of unit D4.1 or acidic fen communities of unit D2.2; they may also harbour tall sedge communities of unit D5.2.
