title: The climatic patterning of Sphagnum sect. Sphagnum species distribution in the East European Plain
abstract: The purpose of this research is to correlate distribution of Sphagnum species with local climatic factors in the East European Plain. Six species of Sphagnum from section Sphagnum, i.e., S. magellanicum, S. centrale, S. palustre, S. papillosum, S. austinii, and S. affine were selected. The graded data on their abundance and the species number for 138 localities were mapped into unit squares of 1010 km by using GRID coverage, to construct several delineated zones of occurence/ abundance.
