Its mystery and old-time stories are indissolubly connected trough this unique world on edge of dry land and water.\r\n\r\nFor the Bohemian Forest, as for the other Central European forested landscapes, peat lands or mires are relict ecosystems, being more typical for northern tundra and taiga. In the Bohemian Forest, the mire types range from the typical dome-shaped raised bogs that are fully dependant on the rainfall, to the forested or open fens fed mainly by the groundwater. Both types of bogs are often surrounded by waterlogged spruce forest or birch forest on peaty soils. They host rare orchids, such as lesser twayblade (Listera cordata) and coral-root orchid (Corallorhiza trifida). Non-forested sedge mires are usually smaller and can be either natural (located on springs) or secondary (developed as the results of deforestation and traditional land use). They are important for their high biodiversity (both plants and insects).\r\n\r\nThe largest Central European complex of peat bogs and marshlands covering over 10,000 ha has been designated as the Ramsar site since 1990.\r\n\r\nAbout 70% of mires in the Bohemian Forest have been influenced by past drainage for variously forestry, agriculture and peat extraction. Since 1999, a comprehensive \u0022Mire Restoration Programme\u0022 has been implemented in the \u0160umava National Park, primarily focused on the disturbed hydrology. Selected drained and intact mires are monitored with the aim: i) to characterise the degradation changes induced by the disturbed hydrology; and ii) to evaluate the success of restoration. Water-table fluctuations, hydrochemistry of groundwater, surface-water outflow, amount of precipitation and the vegetation on permanent plots have been monitored.\r\n","citation":null,"relatedIdentifiers":null,"status":{"label":"Operational","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/elter_cl\/10772"},"yearEstablished":1995,"yearClosed":null,"relatedSites":[{"typeOfRelationship":{"label":"belongs to","uri":"null"},"listOfSites":[{"type":"site","title":"LTSER Silva Gabreta - Czechia","id":{"prefix":"https:\/\/deims.org\/","suffix":"bc72e137-dbc6-49ce-8116-e5af0ea2f924"},"changed":"2023-07-25T10:41:11+0200"}]}],"siteName":"\u0160umava mires","shortName":"Peat bogs","siteType":"Stationary land-based site","protectionLevel":[{"label":"Category II \u2013 National Park","uri":"http:\/\/dd.eionet.europa.eu\/vocabularyconcept\/cdda\/IucnCategoryValue\/II"}],"landUse":null,"images":[{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/photos\/%252B051008_413_%25281024_x_768%2529.jpg","alt":"not defined"},{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/photos\/sumava-mires-czech-republic_6777.jpg","alt":"not defined"}]},"environmentalCharacteristics":{"airTemperature":{"yearlyAverage":3.2,"monthlyAverage":null,"unit":"\u00b0C","referencePeriod":null},"precipitation":{"yearlyAverage":1330,"monthlyAverage":null,"unit":"mm","referencePeriod":null},"biogeographicalRegion":"continental","biome":"evergreen_forest","ecosystemType":[{"label":"Forest","uri":null},{"label":"Temperate coniferous forests","uri":null}],"eunisHabitat":[{"label":"Mires, bogs and fens (D)","uri":null},{"label":"Raised and blanket bogs (D1)","uri":null}],"landforms":null,"geoBonBiome":["Fresh water lakes","Fresh water rivers"],"geology":null,"hydrology":null,"soils":null,"vegetation":null},"geographic":{"boundaries":null,"coordinates":"POINT (13.4404717 49.0219208)","country":["Czechia"],"elevation":{"avg":1100,"min":700,"max":1200,"unit":"msl"},"size":{"value":6000,"unit":"ha"},"relatedLocations":null},"focusDesignScale":{"experiments":{"design":"mainly experimentation","scale":"plot scale"},"observations":{"design":"mainly observation","scale":"plot within catchment"},"observedProperties":[{"label":"biological parameter","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/20940"},{"label":"ecosystem parameter","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/20939"},{"label":"landscape parameter","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/20943"},{"label":"water parameter","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/20945"}]},"infrastructure":{"accessibleAllYear":false,"accessType":"dirt road  (4WD)","allPartsAccessible":false,"maintenanceInterval":14,"permanentPowerSupply":false,"operation":{"permanent":false,"notes":null,"siteVisitInterval":14},"notes":null,"collection":[{"label":"\u003E 10 beds","uri":null},{"label":"\u003E 5 places","uri":null},{"label":"Cable based","uri":null},{"label":"Central station(s)","uri":null},{"label":"GMS\/UMTS","uri":null},{"label":"Less than 10 m above canopy","uri":null},{"label":"More than 10 m above canopy","uri":null},{"label":"Other transmission types","uri":null},{"label":"Paper","uri":null},{"label":"Spatial data file (GIS)","uri":null},{"label":"Structured file","uri":null},{"label":"Telephone line","uri":null},{"label":"Temperature Controlled Container","uri":null},{"label":"Vehicle 2WD","uri":null},{"label":"Vehicle 4WD","uri":null},{"label":"Web Map Service (WMS)","uri":null}],"data":{"policy":{"url":null,"rights":["The data provider must be offered co-authorship for publications using this dataset at least within the metadata description"],"notes":null}}},"relatedResources":null,"projectRelated":{"lter":{"lterSiteClassification":"Regular Site"}}}}
