peer agreement (net): +2birch marshland / bog forest Explanation: I think marshland (or bog) better characterises the kind of "soggy" ground you get in Sweden, if this a Swedish forest? The "örttyp" is part of a system of classifying forest vegetation type, you can see more info in the links below. You could translate the whole sentence like this (depending on who will be reading this): "The natural habitat type is birch marshland forest with a herb field layer" (if the readers are not mainly researchers, you can use "herb ground vegetation" instead of "layer type"). Hope that helps. http://www.czech.cz/en/tourism-sport/natural-treasures/prote... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day1 hr (2009-05-26 15:54:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry - I meant to say "herb ground vegetation" instead of "herb field layer" (not "layer type" as written above).
