Response of Sphagnum teres, evaluated as plant survival and length, to different growing conditions; only the coconut fibre substrate and the lower water conditions gave significantly worse results than the other conditions.

The Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park has numerous hydroelectric infrastructures that modify the structure and function of the aquatic and semi-aquatic habitats. Within the framework of the LIFE+ LimnoPirineus project, we have taken the small reservoir of Font Grossa, disused for years, as an example
of ecological restoration of m...

... three months of cultivation, the survival of the three species was significantly affected by the type of substrate, with general preference for peat and sand. The type of substrate also gave differential growths in the two less hydrophilic species (S. magellanicum and S. capillifolium), which responded better to peat and wood, while S. teres responded to the water level, specifically growing more in more flooded conditions ( Figure 5). In contrast, we did not detect effects of interaction between species, probably because they had not grown enough to exert competition. ...
