Reference state 2a – Bog bean and sedge-dominated transition mire

A common variation on the bogbean (Menyanthes trifoliata) dominated transition mires is a type where patches dominated by bogbean and patches dominated by sedges (Carex sp) co-exist side by side forming a mosaic. In the example shown here, the sedge component of the mosaic is dominated by lesser tussock sedge (Carex diandra).
