Geo­logical, hydrological and phytosociological conditions of spring mire development in the Parsęta River catchment, Western Pomerania, Poland
Radosław DOBROWOLSKI, Małgorzata MAZUREK, Zbigniew OSADOWSKI

The geological and hydrological context of the occurrence of a rare group of spring mires (soligenous fens) in the young glacial area of Western Pomerania (Parsęta River catchment, Northern Poland) has been analysed. Spring mires are located mainly in the contact zones of units with different geological structure, which creates favourable conditions for the occurrence of large outflows of groundwater rich in calcium carbonate leached from glacigenic sediments. In selected objects (Ogartowo, Bobolice and Głodzino sites), which diff er in terms of morphology and hydrology, the biogenic-carbonate sedimentation / sedentation styles were recognised, the supply conditions of spring mires were determined, and the habitat conditions and vegetation structure are described in detail.

Keywords: spring mires, peats, calcareous tufa, spring vegetation, Holocene, the Parsęta River catchment, Western Pomerania
