The study aim was to understand the vegetation and mycological diversity of birch bog on the background of habitat conditions on raised bogs subject to anthropogenic changes, including 15 areas located on seven bogs. Two of the analyzed areas were located on a peat bog not subject to human impact. Phytosociological and mycosociological relevés were taken and substrate analyses were carried out (pH, humidity, N-NH4, N-NO2, N-NO3 and P-PO4). Based on habitat predictors, two area groups were distinguished, differing primarily in humidity. More humid habitats were present on the margins of bogs, and were characterized by lower acidity and higher N-NH4 and P-PO4 abundance. Despite the fact they were enriched by runoffs from the neighboring arable fields, this was not always reflected in the plant and fungi species richness. Quercus robur appeared on less humid habitats, which may be a symptom of unfavorable changes toward habitat drying. In the majority of cases, changes in the habitat independent of the birch patches located and the human impact type are not yet reflected in the vegetation. However, they may be indicated by the fungal diversity, highest in former peat extraction pits, and lowest in pristine peat.

Introduction Bogs are among the most valuable ecosystems, not only due to the rare and valuable species found therein, but also due to the fact that they are natural retention basins. They contain 10% of the freshwater volume of the Earth [1]. Moreover, they are of key importance for the long-term sequestration of atmospheric carbon [2]. It is estimated that peat contains circa 26% of all the terrestrial carbon accumulated since the Last Glacial Maximum [3] thus they are among the largest terrestrial carbon reservoirs. Close to 95% of all peat bogs around the world are located in the northern hemisphere in a cold and at the same time humid temperate climate [4]. It is also here where the majority of raised bogs are present, supplied solely by rainwater. Such ecosystems are highly susceptible not only to natural factors, such as unfavourable climatic changes but above all hydrological disturbances resulting from human activity [5]. Water 2019, 11, 1224; doi:10.3390/w11061224 www.mdpi.com/journal/water Water 2019, 11, 1224 2 of 18 Globally, the human impact on wetlands has intensified in the last 200 years, and particularly in the first half of the 20th century [1,6]. This phenomenon occurred at a high rate and extensively primarily in industrialised countries, where the bog areas have been drastically reduced [7]. Wetlands, including raised bogs, were frequently drained in order to use them in agriculture, forestry and to obtain peat [8,9]. In Europe, almost all bog areas have been disturbed [6], whereas in Poland, close to 80% of bog ecosystems have been subject to human interference [10]. In the majority of cases this has led to a loss or degradation of those valuable habitats and, as a consequence, to changes or loss of vegetation typical of bog ecosystems [11–13]. Plant species of raised bog communities are typically stenobionts; thus, they are among the ecosystem elements that are most sensitive to habitat changes, including rapidly expanding anthropogenic amendments, including drying and eutrophication [12,14]. Drying may trigger peat decomposition processes, leading to C and CO2 loss, as well as to increased mineralisation of nutrients, leading to internal eutrophication [15,16]. Processes occurring as a result of human impact may lead to a rapid invasion of trees on open areas and development of forest communities. This is an unfavourable phenomenon for raised bogs, as it leads to additional water drainage, increasing their degradation [17,18]. However, in the case of undisturbed bogs, tree invasion is inhibited, and their increasing share takes place only under conditions typical of late stages of natural succession [19]. Among forest communities found on raised bogs, bog coniferous and deciduous forests are distinguished, which are rare and valuable components of those ecosystems. They are included in the Annex 1 to the Habitats Directive of the EU, as 91D0: natural habitats of Community interest whose conservation requires the designation of special areas of conservation [20]. Birch bog (Vaccinio uliginosi-Betuletum pubescentis) is one such community. It is a plant community with Atlantic distribution type, occurring primarily in north-west Europe, including Austria [21], the Czech Republic [22], Denmark [23], Germany [24,25], Hungary [26], Ireland [27], Slovakia [28], and in Ukraine [29]. In Poland, it reaches its eastern boundary of geographic distribution. Patches of birch bog develop typically on drainless terrain depressions with high groundwater level, on rather shallow, mesotrophic, acidic transition peats, on acidic soils with the nature of stagnosol. It is the final stage of succession on transitional bogs, whereas it occurs on the margins of raised bogs, as well as on the habitats with secondary genesis—in the areas where intensive decomposition processes occur [30,31]. In many parts of Ireland, it develops on exploited and drained peatlands, while raised bogs are mainly associated with areas enriched with nutrients, originating from surface runoffs from surrounding areas [32]. Previous studies of swamp birch, both in north-western [23,27,32] and central [21,22] Europe, were mainly focused on understanding the species composition of plants that build this community and its structure. However, in general this aim was not a separate subject of consideration. Usually, it was included in the study on plants colonising the examined bog [33–35]; sometimes, the selected properties of the habitat were also taken into account [36]. Few reports concern the Holocene history of birch bog woodlands [37–41]. They show that phases rich in Betula were already present in the early Holocene or the Late Glacial in Central and Eastern Europe. Apart from plants, fungi are important biotic factors for the formation and functioning of phytocenoses because they are heterotrophic organisms they enter into a range of relationships with plants as well as influence their habitat directly, causing organic matter decomposition. Macromycetes of birch bog are sporadically included in research but they usually are only a single element of wider, more comprehensive studies [42,43]. Certain macromycetes species are strictly associated with peat ecosystems not to be found anywhere else [42,44,45]. Therefore, the condition of the plant community can be reflected not only by plants, their species composition and share, but also the diversity and composition of the mycobiota. These elements remain in a close relationship with the habitat conditions. However, to date these three components were not considered together in the aspect of anthropopression in birch bog. The aim of the study was to investigate the floristic and mycological diversity of birch bog in regard to habitat conditions in raised bogs under anthropogenic transformations. This objective was completed based on the answers to the following research questions: (1) Did the research areas differ significantly in terms of selected physical and chemical Water 2019, 11, 1224 3 of 18 properties of the soil, affecting the trophy of the habitat and, if so, whether this was influenced by the type of anthropopression? (2) Are there any significant differences in composition of fungal biota and plant species depending on the location of the research area and the type of anthropogenic impact? (3) If a lower level of habitat predictors (soil properties) is found, is this reflected in both plants and fungi or only in one of these components of the ecosystem? (4) Does the plant community have a chance to preserve its individuality and biodiversity despite the presence of anthropopression? 2. Materials and Methods The study was conducted in the period 2002–2004 and 2007–2009 in the area of seven raised bogs: Niewiadowo, Roby, Mszar near Stara Dobrzyca, Stramniczka, Torfowisko Toporzyk, Zielone Bagno and Ziemomy´sl,located in north-west Poland. Two of the studied objects are mid-forest bogs, and the other ones are located in the close vicinity of agricultural areas, used as arable fields or meadows. This means that they are exposed to an inflow of biogens as a result of surface runoffs. Only Mszar near Stara Dobrzyca was in the past and, is not exposed currently to any anthropogenic influences. Peat exploitation was performed on five of the examined locations, and it was preceded by the dewatering of deposits through a system of ditches that drained water from the peat bogs. However, the time of excavation of the first drainage ditches and the beginning of exploitation is unknown it may be concluded only on the basis of available historical maps.

  • A Unique Raised Bog at Urbana, Ohio.*
    A UNIQUE RAISED BOG AT URBANA, OHIO.* ROBERT B. GORDON, Ohio State University. Located just north of the Champaign County Fair Grounds at Urbana, Ohio, is a unique dome-shaped bog, covered with shrubby vegetation for the most part, in which the center is raised at least ten feet above the margins. An old road crosses the bog. I have been told that it was once the main thorofare from Urbana to Columbus. Horses and wagons passed over it, I suppose, the drivers never realizing that a mat of fibrous roots less than one foot thick was all that held them over a body of water twelve feet in depth. Raised bogs, called "high moors" and "Hochmoore" in foreign literature, have long been known throughout Europe. N. S. Shaler is credited by Nichols with being the first to call attention to these peculiar swamps in North America, in 1888-89. Those which Shaler observed were "mostly limited to the eastern portion of Maine, near the shores of the Bay of Fundy," but some of lesser magnitude were reported for New Hampshire, northern Michigan, and Minnesota. Similar bogs, with centers about 13 feet above their margins, have been reported in the province of New Brunswick by Ganong (1897). Nichols (1919) described bogs of this type encountered in Maine, in which the elevation of the center above the margin varied from 2 or 3 feet to as high as 18 feet (e. g., Denbo Heath, covering several square miles in area). He asserts: "(1) that in the state of Maine raised bogs, in so far as they constitute a distinctive swamp type, are virtually restricted to the proximity of the seacoast; and (2) that in other portions of New England and of the eastern United States this type of bog is practically absent, although in occasional swamps it is possible to detect a slight elevation of the surface above the level of permanent ground water." Warming (1909) has summarized concisely the characteristic features of "Hochmoore." They owe their development to the growth of sphagnum mosses which absorb water that falls in the form of rain or snow.

  • Archäologie Und Nation: Kontexte Der Erforschung „Vaterländischen Alterthums“
    Die Insel Rügen und die Erforschung ihrer vorgeschichtlichen Denkmäler, 1800 bis 1860 Achim Leube Die Insel Rügen ist heute nicht nur wegen ihrer natürlichen Schönheiten, sondern auch wegen des noch erhaltenen Reichtums vorgeschichtlicher Denkmäler eine der beliebtesten Urlaubs- und Erholungslandschaften Deutschlands. Der damit verbundene Tourismus sowie eine intensivere Be- schäftigung mit dem vaterländischen Altertum setzten auf Rügen am Ausgang des 18. Jahrhun- derts ein und erlebten in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts einen starken Aufschwung. Das ist auch verständlich, wenn man das wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Umfeld betrachtet. Um 1800 war die etwa 1.000 km2 große Insel von ca. 25.000 Menschen bewohnt, von denen etwa 20.000 Einwohner auf dem Lande in Leibeigenschaft einer überaus dominanten – mitunter auch als patriarchalisch bezeichneten – Gutsherrschaft lebten. In zwei kleinen Landstädten, Bergen (Stadtrecht 1613) und Garz (Stadtrecht 1319), gab es eine zahlenmäßig geringe Intelligenz – das Schulwesen lag ganz darnieder. Erst 1913 entstand ein rügensches Gymnasium in Bergen. Rügen gehörte seit 1637 zu Schweden, das aber nur geringe Steuern erhob und Schwedisch- Pommern weitgehend selbstständig beließ. Nachdem bereits unter König Friedrich Wilhelm I. 1720 die Grenzen Preußens bis zur Peene ausgedehnt worden waren, was zur Einverleibung Usedom­ Wollins geführt hatte, verblieb nur der nördliche Teil Vorpommerns und Rügen als „Schwedisch- Vorpommern“ in schwedischem Besitz. Erst nach dem Wiener Kongress im Jahre 1815 fiel dieser Teil Pommerns – nun als Neuvorpommern und Rügen bezeichnet – an Preußen.1 Die Entdeckung Rügens im frühen 19. Jahrhundert Bereits in schwedischer Zeit wurde Rügen als eine „deutsche“ Insel entdeckt und aufgesucht. Es begann 1796 mit einer Reise Wilhelm von Humboldts.

Abrahama 1, 80-307 Gdansk, Poland Abstract The article presents results of expert work carried out within the frame of a contract between the Polish Ministry of Environment and the consortium of four scientific Institutes . The Maritime Branch of the Institute of Mete-orology and Water Management (IMWM MB) from Gdynia and Maritime Institute (MI) from Gdansk have been responsible for the typology of Polish marine wa- ters. The analysis of data collected mainly during more than forty years of oceanographic activity of the IMWM MB allowed to discern the following water categories: - transitional waters including the entire areas of the Szczecin Lagoon, Vistula Lagoon and a part of the Gulf of Gdansk – the internal Puck Bay, called Puck Lagoon, as well as parts of the Gulf of Gdansk and Pomeranian Bay under significant influence of riverine plumes; - coastal waters comprising a band of water defined according to the article 2, par. 7, and tak- ing into account art.2, par.1, of the Water Framework Directive (WFD), excluding the areas of transitional waters; - modified waters comprising waters within the rivers mouth areas along the central Polish coast and corresponding to the issue of internal marine waters in the Polish legislation on ma- rine areas. 1 Introduction Following the request of the Polish Ministry of Environment regarding the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive, a consortium of four scientific Institutes has been formed in Poland to elaborate the typology of the Polish surface and ground-waters.

Lowland raised bogs are peatland ecosystems which develop primarily, but not exclusively, in lowland areas such as the head of estuaries, along river flood-plains and in topographic depressions. In such locations drainage may be impeded by a high groundwater table, or by low permeability substrata such as estuarine, glacial or lacustrine clays. The resultant waterlogging provides anaerobic conditions which slow down the decomposition of plant material which in turn leads to an accumulation of peat. Continued accrual of peat elevates the bog surface above regional groundwater levels to form a gently-curving dome from which the term ‘raised’ bog is derived. The thickness of the peat mantle varies considerably but can exceed 12m.

  • Lowland Raised Bog, Duddon Mosses NNR, Cumbria
    Lowland raised bog, Duddon Mosses NNR, Cumbria. © Natural England/Jacqueline Ogden 17. Lowland raised bog Climate Change Sensitivity: Medium Climate Change Adaptation Manual Evidence to support nature conservation in a changing climate 159 Introduction An intact, fully functioning lowland raised bog is expected to be relatively resilient to projected climate change, although both changes to patterns of rainfall, including extreme events and summer warming, will place increasing pressure on the habitat. In England, however, there are no raised bogs in this condition. The impact of historic and current land management has a significant impact on the vulnerability of sites. Damage through peat cutting or drainage (both on and off-site) that alters the hydrology of sites has significant adverse impacts on the ability of the bog to withstand reduced rainfall and extreme events such as drought. Degraded bogs are also more vulnerable to climate change impacts on the quality and quantity of ground water. In England, most remaining lowland raised bog habitat is found on the central or core area of the original dome. Surrounding this is an area of degraded peatland, often now under alternative land use, making the remaining bog increasingly vulnerable to off-site impacts and land-use change. Habitat Description Lowland raised bogs are peatland ecosystems which develop primarily in lowland areas such as at the head of estuaries, along river flood-plains and in topographic depressions. In such locations drainage has been impeded by a high groundwater table or by low permeability of the substrata. The resultant water-logging provides anaerobic conditions which slow down the decomposition of plant material, which in turn leads to an accumulation of peat.
