Interstitial water chemistry and soil particles determine vegetation in Ozegahara Mire, Japan

The importance of pore water chemistry for the peatland vegetation was closely examined in Ozegahara mire, Japan. Along a transect from a riverside to the center of mire, dominant vegetation changed in an almost decreasing order of plant height: gallery forest, skunk cabbage, reed, sasa-bamboo, Moli...

Zusammenfassung:	The importance of pore water chemistry for the peatland vegetation was closely examined in Ozegahara mire, Japan. Along a transect from a riverside to the center of mire, dominant vegetation changed in an almost decreasing order of plant height: gallery forest, skunk cabbage, reed, sasa-bamboo, Moliniopsis japonica , and sphagnum, with sporadic appearance of cinnamon fern ( Osmunda cinnamomea ) with heights of around 100 cm along the way. It was found that these vegetations had different (Ca 2+ + Mg 2+ ) concentration in peat interstitial waters and ash content in peat, respectively ( p
