Sažetak
Although Đon močvar (situated in Central Croatia, 170 m a.s.l., in Quercus petraea-Carpinus betulus vegetation zone) represents the oldest (preboreal origin) and, with the area of 11 ha, one of the biggest peat bog in Croatia, it was poorly investigated since its first description (1925). This isolated island habitat is a mosaic of different vegetation types - from transitional peat bog vegetetation (Drosero-Caricetum stelullatae) and some elements of raised bog communities (Sph. capillifolium-Polytrichum longisetum), to well preserved association Rhinchosporetum albae, thought to be extinct in Croatia. With the richest Sphagnum flora (8 species) it represents the centre of diversity of these mosses in Croatia. Vascular flora consisits of many rare and Red listed (27%) species (e.g. Drosera rotundifolia, Betula pubescens, Rhynchospora alba). The carabid beetle fauna was studied simultaneously on two sites - in the forest community Epimedio-carpinetum betuli and in the peat bog community Drosero-Caricetum stelullatae. A total of 57 specimens of carabid beetles representing 11 species were recorded. Only one species (Notiophilus germinyi) can be considered as tyrphophilous species. The remaining carabids recorded on two sites were mesophilous and hygrophilous species without a clear preference for bogs. This by succession threatened hot spot demands measures of active protection.
