This article focuses on geobotanical mapping with special emphasis on mire vegetation. A brief review of the history of mire mapping in Russia is given. The purpose of the research reported here is to promote the application of cartographic methods to phytosociological studies as well as to contribute to further development of methods for large-scale mapping of mire vegetation. Kudrovsky mire massif (Leningrad region, NW Russia) was chosen as the study area. Two vegetation maps were prepared on the basis of different vegetation classifi cation approaches, namely the dominant (ecologicphytocoenotic) and fl oristic (Braun-Blanquet) methods. The same vegetation relevé data were classifi ed using both approaches and the resulting classifi cations were used to construct legends for the maps. The traditions and problems of Russian vegetation cartography are briefl y discussed.

Earthworm populations in reclaimed cutaway peatland soils in central Ireland were sampled 20-30 years after reclamation and establishment of grass-clover leys following industrial peat mining. Nine earthworm species in total were present, with 4-7 species per field in the six fields sampled. Population densities were 130-506 individuals m-2, and biomass ranged from 80 to 279 g m-2. Thus, under favourable conditions reclaimed cutaway peat soils can support earthworm populations comparable in density and biomass to those typical of the most fertile mineral soils. However, species richness tended to be lower than in comparable grasslands on mineral soils, and reclaimed peat appears to be unfavourable for larger deep-burrowing species such as Lumbricus friendi and Lumbricus terrestris.
