Annotation

The paper deals with syntaxonomy of mountain mires in the lower oroarctic zone of Khibiny Mountains (Murmansk Region). Six associations and one subassociation which belong to four alliances are described. Short characteristic of syntaxa and phytocoenological tables are given. Prevalence of mesophytic and hygro-mesophytic species rather than true helophytic species is reported as a characteristic feature of these communities.

Key words: mountain tundra belt, mountain climbing bogs, spring fens, aapa mires, Braun-Blanquet approach
