Table 1 Synoptic table for the vegetation in the ponds A-F. Five relevés were made in each pond. Categorical constancy (I –V) and range of percentage cover (as superscripts) of each species are shown. Only diagnostic species are included (Sm – diagnostic species for the order Sphagnetalia medii within the class Oxycocco-Sphagnetea³⁷. Cd/SwT/Cf/Sp – diagnostic species for the alliances of the Scheuchzerio palustris-Caricetea fuscae class within the orders: Caricetalia davalianae (Cd), Sphagno warnstorfii-Tomentypnetalia (SwT), Caricetalia fuscae (Cf), Scheuchzerietalia palustris (Sp)³⁸. Cr – diagnostic species within the proposed suballiance Caricenion rariflorae³⁶, Scheuchzerietalia palustris order, Scheuchzerio palustris-Caricetea fuscae class).
