The occurrence of Sphagnum riparium in the Arnsberger Wald seems to be the furthermost northwest exposed subarea in central Europe of this species. Major aspects are the distinct floristic structure primarely referring to communities of open fens and the specific habitat preferences illustrating a remarkable hydrological and micro-climatically stability. The analysis of the hydrochemical properties indicates poor nutrition conditions, but moderate base availabilities at the sites examined. In addition the endangerment of the Sphagnum riparium-rich habitats in the Arnsberger Wald is described. %U http://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gldocs-11858/7297 %~ FID GEO-LEO e-docs
