Testasimme Ruuhijärven (1960) klassisen kasvillisuusaineiston pohjalta Peräpohjolan aapasuoalueen mesotrofisten sirppisammalrimpinevojen (MeSsRiN), Richardsonii rimpilettojen (RicRiL), rimpisten koivulettojen (RiKoL) ja keskustavaikutteisten rimpilettojen (2 alatyyppiä, RevRiL, ScoRiL) luokit­telua klusterianalyysin avulla. Tyypeistä erityisesti Peräpohjolaan keskittyvät Richardsonii rimpiletot ovat huonosti tunnettuja. Kyseessä on pienen aineiston analyysi (noin 50 näytealaa). Ordinaation avulla tulkitsimme aineiston päävaihtelusuunnat ja erityishuomion kiinnitimme klusterianalyysin esiin tuomaan kasvillisuuden hierarkkiseen rakenteeseen ja lajimääriin. Klusterianalyysin testikasvil­lisuusyksiköt nimesimme yhdistäen kasvisosiologisen Braun-Blanquet luokittelun ja cajanderilaisten suotyyppien nimeämistavan piirteitä. Ennakkoluokitteluista riippumaton testiluokittelu osoittautui hyvin samanlaiseksi kuin näytealojen alkuperäinen luokittelu. Rimpistä koivulettoa ja Richardso­nii rimpilettoa lähinnä vastaavat klusterit muodostivat hierarkian alimman tason, jota kutsumme rimpikoivulettoryhmäksi. Richardsonii rimpilettoa vastaavan klusterin tunnuslajiksi saatiin kuitenkin lettokuirisammalen sijasta pohjansirppisammal Warnstorfia tundrae. Boreaalinen rimpikoivulettoryhmä, ja sen sisällä erityisesti Richardsonii rimpilettoa vastaava klusteri, osoittautui Suomen pohjoisboreaalisten aapa- ja palsasoiden rimpinevojen- ja lettojen lajirikkaimmaksi habitaatiksi Ruuhijärven (1960) aineiston perusteella. Lajirikkaudelle löydettiin kasvimaantieteellinen selitys. Tutkimus toi kaksi aineistollista näkökohtaa kysymykseen, onko Richardsonii rimpiletto rimpisestä koivuletosta erillisenä noteerattava kasvillisuusyksikkö pelkän pohja-, kenttä- ja pensaskerroksen lajikoostumuksen perusteella tarkasteltuna. (1) Aineistosta puuttuu tunnettu suursaravaltainen kasvillisuustapaus, joka vaikeuttaa yksikköjen varmaa määrittelyä tällä hetkellä, samoin raja luhtaisempaan kasvillisuuteen on osin auki. (2) Ruuhijärven nykyisestä aineistosta tehty analyysi kuitenkin tuo rimpistä koivulettoa ja Richardsonii-rimpilettoa vastaavien klustereiden välille ekologisesti tulkittavan eron, mikä saattaa viitata kahteen alatyyppiin tai varianttiin. Sen sijaan rimpiset koivuletot ja Richardsonii-rimpiletot/ kuirisammalrimpiletot ovat analyysin perusteella kasvillisuudeltaan kaukana keskustavaikutteisista rimpiletoista (ScoRiL, RevRiL), mikä saattaisi olla hyvä ottaa jollakin tavalla huomioon myös uhanal­aisuutta haarukoivassa luontotyyppiluokittelussa.

Keidassuot ovat Etelä-Suomen yleisin suoyhdistymätyyppi. Ne saavat vetensä ja ravinteensa sateen mukana. Keidassoiden pintaa luonnehtivat kuivat harjanteet, kermit, ja märät painanteet, kuljut. Ilmaston lämpeneminen vähentää talven lumisuutta ja lisää haihduntaa, minkä on arvioitu laskevan keidassoiden vedenpintaa. Tämä voi aiheuttaa muutoksia keidassoiden ekosysteemissä ja kiihdyttää ilmaston lämpenemistä paikalli­sesti. Keidassoilla tapahtuvia pitkäaikaismuutoksia on tutkittu kuitenkin verraten vähän.
Tässä työssä tarkastellaan vesipintaisten kuljujen eli allikoiden määrässä 70 vuoden aikana tapahtuneita muutoksia ilma- ja satelliittikuvien avulla. Tutkimuskohteina ovat kaksi Länsi-Suomessa sijaitsevaa keidassuota: Häädetkeidas ja Kauhaneva. Pitkän ajan muutosta seurataan ilmakuvien objektiperusteisen segmentoinnin ja ohjatun suurimman todennäköisyyden luokittelun avulla. Yksittäisen kasvukauden aikaista muutosta tarkastellaan satelliittikuvien ja ohjatun suurimman todennäköisyyden luokittelun avulla. Tuloksia verrataan tarkasteluajanjaksolta kerättyihin säätietoihin.
Tulosten perusteella allikoiden lukumäärä ja pinta-ala ovat vaihdelleen tarkastelujakson aikana. 1940-luvulta 1970-luvulle asti pinta-aloissa ja lukumäärissä on ollut kasvua, minkä jälkeen ne ovat vähentyneet. 1940-luvun tilanteeseen nähden allikoiden lukumäärä on Häädetkeitaalla vähentynyt 13,8 % ja pinta-ala on vähentynyt 14,8 %. Kauhanevalla lukumäärä on vähentynyt 5,3 % ja pinta-ala on vähentynyt 6,3 %. Alueen keskilämpötila on samaan aikaan noussut yli 1 °C. Satelliittikuva-analyysin perusteella vaihtelu voi yksittäisen kasvukauden aikana olla kuitenkin voimakasta, mikä aiheuttaa epävarmuutta pitkän ajan muutoksen tulkintaan.
Tulokset osoittavat, että keidassoilla tapahtuu kaukokartoitusmenetelmin havaittavia pintarakenteen muutoksia, joilla on todennäköisesti kytkös ilmasto-olosuhteiden muutokseen.

An attempt is made in this paper to create two consistent mire typologies, i.e. 1) the Combined Finnish Mire Typology covering all possible mire areas in Finland and 2) the Mire Water Flow Typology for boreal, zonal mire systems, i.e. aapa mires and raised bogs. Furthermore, larger groundwater recharge-discharge patterns concerning mires and the biological significance of morphologic and hydrologic mire classifications are discussed. Zonal mire systems from raised bogs to aapa mires are described as a dominance-based continuum. Local mire systems are subdivided according to factors that impede the formation of mire massifs, which are the essential morphological units of zonal mire systems. Smaller-scale mire units for aapa mires and the acrotelmic flow pattern are presented on the basis of a typical mid-boreal aapa mire system with a raised bog, based on the aerial photograph interpretation. The discussion of the groundwater recharge-discharge pattern and the biological significance of morphologic and hydrologic mire classifications is based on literature.

This article focuses on geobotanical mapping with special emphasis on mire vegetation. A brief review of the history of mire mapping in Russia is given. The purpose of the research reported here is to promote the application of cartographic methods to phytosociological studies as well as to contribute to further development of methods for large-scale mapping of mire vegetation. Kudrovsky mire massif (Leningrad region, NW Russia) was chosen as the study area. Two vegetation maps were prepared on the basis of different vegetation classifi cation approaches, namely the dominant (ecologicphytocoenotic) and fl oristic (Braun-Blanquet) methods. The same vegetation relevé data were classifi ed using both approaches and the resulting classifi cations were used to construct legends for the maps. The traditions and problems of Russian vegetation cartography are briefl y discussed.

The present paper introduces and describes a poorly known wetland type – aro wetland – in well permeable mineral soil substratum in Northern Ostrobothnia and Kainuu (between 64° – 66° N lat.). Field observations (linked with the interpretation of aerial photographs) were made in 32 localities, whose conservation status is presented. We define boreal aro wetlands ecologically as a seasonal wetland type of their own which occur on well-drained mineral soil, which are mainly characterised by treeless, mire expanse fen vegetation and in which the peat accumulation is (almost) totally hampered by the vigorous decomposition of the organic matter resulting from an extremely unstable water regime (flood and seasonal drought) and small plant production. Aro wetlands in the western part of the study area occur on sandy substratum (the largest in parts of mire complexes split by ancient raised beach ridges), whereas in the eastern part the aro wetlands known so far are small pond-like depressions in till substratum. Carex lasiocarpa (mostly) dominates the vegetation on sandy substratum. Juncus filiformis and Carex nigra are typical, and Rhynchospora fusca and Molinia caerulea a bit rarer. Sphagnum cover is usually minimal. Considering aro wetlands an extreme case of suo (mire) makes the stability of water regime (stable – unstable) a direction of variation in the traditional Finnish mire site type system, which is based on several ecological gradients.

This case study deals with the effects of forest drainage on six mire site types represented by 33 permanent sample plots within a Finnish aapa mire complex located in north boreal vegetation zone. We analysed the main compositional gradients, the abundances of plant species and the diversity of vegetation. The vegetation descriptions were made about at the time of drainage in 1933 and after that in 1943, 1950 and 1994. The forest drainage emphasized the importance of spruce mire and hummock-level bog influences (mire margin and mire expanse effects respectively) in controlling the structure of plant communities. The change of plant community was greatest on fertile mire site types, also spruce mire influence promoted the secondary succession. As expected, the shallow-rooted and/or demanding flark-level vascular plants and (eutrophic) fen mosses had not been able to adapt to the ground water level drawdown. At first, after drainage, species number, Shannon's H' and Simpson's D increased: many mire species of hummock and intermediate level microsites had increased while also pioneer and forest species had colonized the plots. By 1994, however, as the mire species were decreasing these measures had turned to decline except on the (most) infertile site types. Pielou's J' and the evenness based on D reacted vaguely, decreasing a little, though, from 1933 to 1994. Thus, in such cases the dominance in the vegetation had increased. The beta-diversity describing here the differences between plant communities (or site types) decreased along with the hydrological conditions becoming more uniform after drainage.

The article presents the results of Finnish-Karelian co-operation in mire conservation research with the aim to study the diversity of mires in Finland and Russian Karelia on a uniform basis. The classification of mires in Finnish and Karelian schools of vegetation science has been compared. The vegetation of Lishkmokh mire has been studied using aerial photographs and field surveys. The area consists of ombrotrophic bog complexes as well as aapamires, all in a totally virgin state. As a result of the surveys, two maps of vegetation have been compiled. Results of vegetation analyses in releves have been presented in the form of tables and DCA ordination. According to the Finnish mire classification, 32 mire site types have been distinguished, which is a high number in an area of c. 2000 ha. On the basis of the high diversity of site types, and the occurrence of some rare plant species, e.g. Juncus stygius, Drepanocladus vernicosus and Meesia triquetra as well as some eastern species like Rubus humulifolius and Polygonum bistorta, the conservation value of Lishkmokh mire can be considered as very high.

English title: Site index model approach for drained peatland forest stands.
Avainsanat: Drainage; growth and yield; site classification
Tiivistelmä | Näytä lisätiedot | Artikkeli PDF-muodossa | Tekijä
The site index system presented is intended as support for the idea of developing a more hierarchical and integrated forest classification system in Finland. The data used were obtained from stands growing on old permanent experimental plots laid out in drainage areas in southern Finland. The model, describing the post-drainage development of stand dominant height as a function of drainage age (time elapsed since drainage), is based on successive measurement data (465 observations), collected from 89 plots, each representing a single stand. The site indices H40dr are post-drainage dominant height values 40 years since drainage, given in 2-meter classes. Post-drainage dominant height is defined as the difference between the current dominant height and the dominant height at the time of drainage. In classification work, one needs to know (or measure) the two aforementioned height characteristics, together with age since drainage. If the dominant height at the time of drainage is not known, it can be estimated from a function presented herein and based on current dominant height and drainage age. The mean annual volume increments at 40 years since drainage (MAI40) are also presented. There is still a need for examining separately the accuracy of the model with new data from spruce-, pine- and birch-dominated stands, collected for numerical constructions of site index curves. Therefore, the site index model and its characteristics must be seen more as outlines than as a final system for practical application. A well-functioning ditch network is a default when applying the site index curves.

In this paper, the mire classification system and its development in Estonia are reviewed. In addition the utilization of mires for peat harvesting, forestry, agriculture and conservation are outlined. There are two main groups of mires in Estonia — an eastern and a western type. Mire vegetation has been classified according to site conditions, community composition and structure. During the primary succession of mire communities, a number of fen communities converge to a smaller number of bog communities. The post-drainage succession is also convergent. Estonian mires are intensively utilized for peat harvesting. There is a clear need for a comprehensive mire protection and utilization plan.

The vegetation data from virgin and corresponding drained mire site types collected by Juhani Sarasto in the 1950's were reanalyzed using DCA and TWINSPAN. The main gradient in the material was a complex gradient called the mire margin-mire expanse -effect. During secondary succession, after forest drainage, the variation of mire site types diminished as the importance of hydrology decreased. The difference between the vegetation of treeless plus composite and forested mire site types could still be detected after the site types had reached the drained peatland forest type phase in their post-drainage succession.

Former and present peatland forestry studies by the Department of Forest Soils of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (Umeå) are presented, based on a tour to field experiments in north, mid and south Sweden. Up to the 1970s, major interest was paid to the nutrition of drained, originally treeless or sparsely treed fens and bogs. Several fertilization experiments since the first wood ash trials in Norra Hällmyren have indicated the necessity of P and K application to ensure afforestation and satisfactory growth of Scots pine on such sites. Silvicultural problems on drained peatlands, such as regeneration on highly productive peatlands, planting techniques, commercial thinnings, as well as gas exchange in peat and the distribution of nutrients in a peatland forest ecosystem are the focus of a large-scale project started in 1985. The preliminary results of the regeneration experiments, i.e. the effectiviness of spruce shelter wood (140-200 trees per ha) against frost damage during the growing season, are discussed. A brief description of the present classification and post-drainage site index system for peatlands is also given. Keywords: Classification, drainage, nutrient status, regeneration

TWINSPAN classifications of the same drained mire vegetation data using four different pseudospecies cut level scales were compared. The material consisted of 96 sample plots located on drained spruce and pine mires in eastern Finland. The pseudospecies cut level scales were the octave scale (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64%), a coarse scale (0, 5, 10, 20 and 50%), TWINSPAN default settings (0, 2, 5, 10 and 20%), and presence/absence. The classificatons were quite similar at the first division but they differed markedly from each other at the final third division showing that the choice of cut levels has an important effect on TWIN-SPAN results. The sample plots in one TWINSPAN cluster defined with set of cut levels were allocated to several clusters defined with other cut level settings. The presence/absence setting resulted in a classification which was the most different from the classification made using the default settings. The TWINSPAN classifications performed using the default and octave scale settings corresponded the best with the field classification of the plots and were ecologically the most interpretable.

The results of inventories of drained peatlands have occasioned criticism of profitless drainage. For the better understanding of the mire ecosystem a functional and structural division of mires is presented. This is based on the nutrient cycle, the mire margin — mire expanse-effect, the carbon balance and the community structure of mire sites. The suitability for drainage is discussed on the basis of the ecology. A suggestion is made for further treatment of drained mire complexes. Keywords: Mire classification, mire site types

In the Finnish classification of drained peatlands in practical forestry, the post-drainage successional plant communities of recently drained areas have been traditionally classified according to their original mire site type (33 different types in forestry use), whereas the more stable communities of older drainage areas have been classified into so called "drained peat-land forest types" (4 types). This system is not firmly based on ecological factors or forestry requirements. The classification would be more logical and operational in forestry, if the successional plant communities of younger drainage areas already were classified into the drained peatland forest types. The paper describes seven such drained peatland forest types: herb-rich type, Vaccinium myrtillus type (I) and (II), Vaccinium vitis-idaea type (I) and (II), dwarf-shrub type and the Cladina type, which have their parallels in the series of upland forest types. The traditional V. myrtillus and V. vitis-idaea types have each been divided into two types; type (I) develops from genuine, forested mire types and type (II) from treeless and sparsely forested composite types. The proposed classification is supported by tree stand and peat property data presented in the paper. Keywords: Classification, drained peatlands, vegetation

In Finland three different mire classification systems can be distinguished: 1) those for ecological purposes based on detailed botanical surveys, 2) those for scientific forestry research purposes, and 3) more extensive systems for practical forestry purposes. All systems are based upon Cajan-der's site-type principle whereby habitats which are ecologically similar are considered to support a similar vegetation. The classification (site type names, analogy/correspondence, nutrient status level) of spruce-pine mires and oligotrophic spruce mires according to the above-mentioned systems is compared. Some criticism concerning especially the confusing naming of the same type is presented. The varying post-drainage suc-cession in these site type groups is also discussed. Finally an attempt to distinguish the more oligotrophic spruce-pine mires from the less oligotrophic ones is made. Keywords: Drainage, mire classification, site type, succession, trophy

A review of the historical development of mire site classification in Finland with special emphasis on the studies and theories of post-drainage succession is made. Some criticism of the prevailing classification system is presented and a work model for guiding further study of drained mire classification is proposed. Preliminary results of a new approach to classify the vegetation of old peatland forests using TWINSPAN classification and DCA ordination techniques are presented. Keywords: Drainage, mire classification, site type, succession

Vegetation and peat nutrient data from 167 sample plots representing microsites on sedge pine fens are related. The plant data was analysed by two numerical multivariate methods: DECOR AN A-ordination and TWINSPAN-classification. The connection between the results of the numerical analyses and the surface peat nutrient contents is discussed. Phosphorus, calcium and magnesium showed the closest relationship to those plant sociological variations that were interpreted as trophy-dependent. The variation in soil data within classes could not be diminished by using numerical classification methods instead of the Cajanderian peatland site type. Keywords: peatland classification, peat nutrient contents, multivariate analysis.

The interest in peatland forestry in Quebec is increasing as the peatlands of the St-Lawrence valley are considered to have a good drainage response capacity A relatively important forest drainage project is being carried out on a practical scale. However, the lack of a practically oriented peatland classification system is an important drawback. This paper is an attempt to produce a preliminary classification system intended for practical peatland forestry. Keywords: Quebec, forest drainage, site type classification.
