Wetlands in
Asahi Mountains |
In these wetlands occur communities of Calamagrostis langsdorffii-Phyllodoce aleutica, Fauria crista-galli-Moliniopsis japonica and Saussurea riederi var. yezoensis f. japonica-Ligularia hodgsonii. Within the Fauria crista-galli-Moliniopsis japonica communities, alpine grasses (Moliniopsis japonica, Fauria crista-galli, Plantago hakusanensis, Carex hakkodensis, C. blepharicarpa, Calamagrostis longiseta, Geum pentapetalum, Arnica unalaschensis var.tschonoskyi and Shortia soldanelloides) coexist with woody plants (Phyllodoce aleutica and Vaccinium ovalifolium), forming a wet alpine flower zone. Wetlands in Toriharayama mountain support Scheuchzeria palustris, Lycopodium inundatum, Sparganium glomeratum var. angustifolium and Batrachospermum vagum var. keratophytum Sirododot.
