The studies examined mire vegetation overgrowing wetlands located on the bottom of hollows without surface run-off in the Masurian Lakeland. Two directions of succession in wetland overgrowing were analyzed: a dystrophic sequence (on bogs) – from transition bogs through bog moss pine forest up to a bog pinewood, and a mesotrophic sequence (on fens) – from reeds and Carex fens through willow shrubberies up to alder wood fen. In both sequences of plant communities there were observed similar regularities in the succession course yet different manners of matter managing (accumulation of nutrients, efficiency of primary production, matter retention, transmitting elements to matter cycling). Mire vegetation in agricultural landscape was valorized in an attempt to determine whether it might have an anti-eutrophication effect.
