Description We analysed the cross-taxon congruence of six contrasting groups of organisms (vascular plants, bryophytes, fungi, diatoms, desmids and testate amoebae) in permanent plots located in differently polluted summit ombrotrophic bogs in two regions of the Czech Republic. Generally, vascular plants, bryophytes and fungi provided similar information, while diatoms behaved most independently. The major division among the study taxa coincided with body size rather than with nutrition or propagule size.
