AB  - The subalpine mires in the Krkonoše Mts are unique among the Central European mountain mires due to their microtopography and phytosociology. The research was carried out to find out whether there is a difference between the subalpine and montane peatbogs in the algal flora as well. Samples from two subalpine mires (Pančavské rašeliniště, Úpské rašeliniště) and one montane bog (Černohorské rašeliniště) were examined. The algal flora of Pančavské rašeliniště peatbog diverged from the other two mires more than they differed each other. Local environmental conditions (e.g. physical and chemical variables, diversity of microbiotopes) seem to be more directive for the algal flora diversity than the altitudinal zonation.
