Abstract

V originále

Mollusc communities were investigated at 48 spring fens situated in the borderland between the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 1997-2000. The purpose of this study was to test whether the gradient from mineral-poor to mineral-rich fens is reflected in the composition and species richness of mollusc communities. A cluster analysis of mollusc communities separated the fens studied into five basic clusters which accord well with the results of detrended correspondence analysis (DCA). These clusters are arranged along the 1st DCA axis following the poor-rich trophic gradient.
