Vegetation cover and environmental factors were studied in the system of karts mires in the broad- leaved forest zone in Tula Region, Central European Russia. Mires are formed in the sinkholes and characterized by rather low anthropogenic disturbances. These mires are characterised by floating peat mats and variety of vegetation communities which are differ by ecological conditions (water levels, acidity and nutrition). Development and growth of floating mats change water and mineral feeding that leads to succession of vegetation communities.
