Boreal mires are globally important carbon stores. In nutrient poor mires, i.e. bogs, vegetation is highly structured between hydrologically different microforms: hummocks, lawns and hollows. We studied whether the vegetation structure in four boreal bogs is reflected in the actinobacterial decomposer communities. Vegetation was determined by projection cover of plant species. Actinobacteria were detected from peat profiles at depths of 0-20, 20-40 and 40-60 cm by molecular methods. The data was analysed by a hierarchical set of ordinations. The inter-bog variation in plant communities was insignificant, while the intra-bog differences (microforms) at each bog were highly significant. This variation was reflected in actinobacteria communities in the two upper peat layers. The deepest peat layer (40-60 cm) showed some inter-bog differences, possibly due to the different history of the bogs. Our results show that the actinobacteria communities reflect the variation in bog vegetation, which in turn is tied to hydrological conditions. The possible alterations in the water level caused by changing climate are likely to cause predictable changes in vegetation and microbial communities in bog ecosystems.
