The Mycklemossen site is located in south-west Sweden approximately 80 km north of Gothenburg. The vegetation is fairly homogeneous across the mire which is made up of a mosaic of drier hummocks and wetter hollows. The hummocks are dominated by Eriophorum vaginatum (L.) and dwarf shrubs such as Calluna vulgaris (L.) Hull and Erica tetralix (L.), whereas the hollows are characterized by different Sphagnum species, mainly Sphagnum rubellum Wilson, Sphagnum fallax H.Klinggr. and Sphagnum austinii Sull., and Rhyncospora alba (L.) Vahl. Towards the centre of the mire, conditions are drier and the vegetation is more forest-like, with a sparse tree layer dominated by Pinus sylvestris (L.), and more dwarf shrubs such as Vaccinium uliginosum (L.), Vaccinium myrtillus (L.) and Vaccinium vitis-idaea (L.).
