Arctic-alpine rich fen
Fens developed on open substrates constantly flushed by icy, base-rich water alongside small rivers, springs or glaciers in the alpine belt of European mountains and in the Arctic. Constant disturbance by moving water and freeze-thaw, aeration with turbulent flow and low productivity prevent peat accumulation. Consequently, this fen typically occurs as small unstable patches colonising bare ground. The vegetation consists of small basiphilous sedges, rushes and herbs, brown mosses and liverworts, and can include endemic species that are perhaps glacial relics such as Carex atrofusca, Carex microglochin and Juncus triglumis.
