The figure below illustrates mean species numbers in Switzerland’s various habitats. The height of the bars represents state values as recorded during the 2005-2009 surveying period (2004-2008 for mollusks). No habitat type in this country harbors a wider species diversity of vascular plants and mosses than alpine pastures. However, forests are very rich in species as well, particularly as regards mollusks.
