Vegetation survey
Table 4.1 (next page). Mean percentage cover (and frequency) of the plant species in the
blanket bog (All) and in the four different identified microforms. r = percentage cover <
0.5; + = percentage cover ≥ 0.5 % and < 1 %. *Cephalozia species were not distinguished
on the field but just in the lab; it was therefore not possible to assign the cover.
