Aims
To develop the first comprehensive syntaxonomic classification for patchy montane mire and spring vegetation across the Irano‐Turanian phytogeographical region in Iran, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan and to explore the effects of the main environmental and geographic gradients on their distribution.
Location
Alborz Mountain range (Iran), Pamir‐Alai Mountains (Tajikistan) and Tian Shan Mountains...

The Alborz Mountains, the second largest range in Iran, is, on its southern slopes, mainly covered by steppe vegetation. These dry slopes also include ‘green islands’ of wetland. Floristic diversity and environmental characteristics of 45 of these little-studied wetland sites have been assessed along an altitudinal gradient using one-way ANOVA, Pearson r and detrended correspondence analysis/canonical...
The effect of plant growth on surface and porewater concentrations of Fe, Mn, Cu, and S within a natural wetland receiving acidic spoil heap drainage was determined over a period of one year. Comparisons were made between unvegetated sites and those colonized by either Phragmites australis or Eriophorum angustifolium. The presence of vegetation increased surface and porewater concentrations of Fe...
