Description We compiled a comprehesive vegetation plot database of base-rich fens and related communities including vascular plants and bryophytes. We used DCA to analyse the correlation of species composition with geography and climate and modified TWINSPAN to detect major vegetation groups. Variation in species composition was mainly correlated to temperature, precipitation and latitude, showing a major gradient from (1) alpine belt fens characterized by spring species to (2) small sedge fens mainly distributed in mountain regions and (3) boreo-temperate fens reflecting waterlogged conditions.
