D2.3 - Niveau 3 : Tourbières de transition et tourbières tremblantes
Incompletely terrestrialized wetlands occupied by peat-forming vegetation with acid groundwater or (for vegetation rafts) acid underlying pool or lake water. Characteristic species are Calla palustris, Carex chordorrhiza, Carex diandra, Carex heleonastes, Carex lasiocarpa, Carex limosa, Carex rostrata, Menyanthes trifoliata, Potentilla palustris, Rhynchospora alba, Scheuchzeria palustris. Included are rafts of Sphagnum and Eriophorum (D2.38) and quaking rafts of Molinia caerulea (D2.3D). Excluded are stands of vegetation fringing water bodies (C3.2) unless the vegetation raft is sufficiently extensive to count as a habitat in its own right.

Transition mire communities of the Palaearctic domaine constituted by the association of forbs, in particular Menyanthes trifoliata, Potentilla palustris (Comarum palustre), Hydrocotyle vulgaris, Cicuta virosa, and sphagna or brown mosses, often in floating carpets, occupying wet areas in mire systems or the terrestrialisation zone at the edge of watercourses and waterbodies. The community is clearly structured into three layers. Potentilla palustris (Comarum palustre) dominates in the highest one, the second layer is dominated by Carex rostrata and Menyanthes trifoliata, and the third layer is composed of Sphagnum spp.
