British NVC Community M24 (Molinia Caerulea – Cirsium Dissectum Fen-meadow)
NVC community M24 (Molinia caerulea - Cirsium dissectum fen-meadow)is one of the 38 mire communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. Community Composition The following species are found in this community * Molinia caerulea (Purple Moor Grass) * Cirsium dissectum ''Cirsium dissectum'', also known as meadow thistle, is an erect perennial herb. It is found in England, Wales, Ireland, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Spain, Hungary, Norway, etc. It is found in fens and less acidic peat ...

Mires In The British National Vegetation Classification System
This article gives an overview of the mire plant communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. Introduction The mire communities of the NVC were described in Volume 2 of '' British Plant Communities'', first published in 1991, along with the heath communities. In total, 38 mire communities have been identified. The mire communities consist of a number of separate subgroups. * five bog plane communities ( M17, M18, M19, M20 and M21) * two wet heath communities (M15 and M16) * four bog-pool communities ( M1, M2, M3 and M4) * four base-poor small sedge & rush communities ( M5, M6, M7 and M8) * six base-poor small sedge & '' Schoenus'' communities ( M9, M10, M11, M12, M13 and M14) * seven fen-meadow / rush-pasture communities ( M22, M23, M24, M26, M25, M27 and M28 M28, M-28, or M/28 may refer to: * M-28 (Michigan highway), a state highway in Michigan * M28/M-1928 Haversack, US army Haversack * M28 Mosin–Nagant, a Finnish rifle * ...

Terminology Used In Connection With The British National Vegetation Classification
__NOTOC__ The British National Vegetation Classification or NVC is a system of classifying natural habitat types in Great Britain according to the vegetation they contain. A large scientific meeting of ecologists, botanists, and other related professionals in the United Kingdom resulted in the publication of a compendium of five books: '' British Plant Communities'', edited by John S. Rodwell, which detail the incidence of plant species in twelve major habitat types in the British natural environment. They are the first systematic and comprehensive account of the vegetation types of the country. They cover all natural, semi-natural and major artificial habitats in Great Britain (not Northern Ireland) and represent fifteen years of research by leading plant ecologists. From the data collated from the books, commercial software products have been developed to help to classify vegetation identified into one of the many habitat types found in Great Britain – these include ''MATCH ...
