Investigations on the Testacean Nekrocoenoses and Taxocoenoses in the Zirbenwaldmoor (Obergurgl, Tyrol/Austria). The present paper deals with Testacean distribution in a peat profile (0-300 cm) and in recent samples from a subalpine bog near the timberline. The succession of the Testacean nekrocoenoses was studied as well as the taxocoenoses. This study based on phytocoenological and palaeoecological investigations designed to obtain data on stratigraphy of peat profiles, on reconstruction of the peat-forming communities and on pollen analyses, which were carried out by Bortenschlager (1979, 1972) and Rybnicek & Rybnickova (1977).
