Britannic Eriophorum vaginatum blanket bogs
Description (English)
Species-poor upland blanket bog lawn communities of the Pennines overwhelmingly dominated by an open or closed canopy of low Eriophorum vaginatum tussocks, with few ericoid shrubs and a sparse and patchy ground cover in which sphagna are scarce; the most common vascular associates are usually Eriophorum angustifolium and Deschampsia flexuosa. They are characteristic of heavily grazed and burned expanses of blanket bog.
