Small forms of the oasis

Small forms of the oasis

The small forms of the keidassuo are kerms, kuljus and allikos.

Kermit is a drier rotten surface than an oasis and often runs in a ribbon-like network. Kermi has sedge vegetation, e.g. trees and sparrows.

The channels are lower watery surfaces between the creams, i.e. intermediate surfaces, which are covered by curd moss.

Kermits and culjuts go around the highest point of the bog, their mosaic is most obvious on the southern edge of the center of Hatlamminsu, where we are now.

In Hatlamminsu, the kermits are steep-edged and usually quite wooded, their vegetation is a heather thicket. The flow is dominated by flowing and short-curved.

Alikos are open waters of varying sizes.

There are several springs in the center of Hatlamminsu, the largest of which is Hatlampi. The pools are remnants of the ancient lake that was there. Groundwater also flows into the springs in the eastern part of the swamp.

The pools are sometimes deep and have steep edges, so you should be very careful when moving near them!
