Alta Val Rendena peat bogs

Special Area of Conservation (SAC)

A vast area of peat bog woodlands on the slopes of the Presanella group, partly sloping, partly flat and partly wooded hummocks, with widespread natural clearings in the spruce forest.
The vegetation consists of a complex of numerous turfic associations, which are rare on the entire southern slope of the Alps.
There are also a few patches of spruce forest on peat (Local Reserve Wooded Peat Forest).
Among other things, there are low fens with a predominance of Gramineae and Cyperaceae and with areas of sphagnum peat bogs, and numerous occurrences of genuine raised bogs with high substrate acidity indices.
In the southernmost parts, extensive mugoak, both slope and peat bog, can be seen.

Description

A complex of peat bogs scattered in the coniferous forest, with very rare species, in a still intact environmental context of great beauty, reminiscent of Nordic landscapes.
This is a set of biotopes of vital importance for the reproduction of many species of amphibians and reptiles, as well as being of ornithological interest due to the presence of species typical of the Alpine avifauna.
The areas of interdigitation between boreal forest and peatland formations are also of interest.
