The Fen joins the south flowing part of the Yellow River after draining the Shanxi Plateau The Fen River zh c p F n H drains the center of Shanxi Province, the People s Republic of China . It rises in the Guancen Mountains in Ningwu County in northeast Shanxi , flows southeast into the basin of Taiyuan , and then south through the central valley of Shanxi before turning west to join the Yellow River west of Hejin . The Fen and the Wei River s are the two largest tributaries of the Yellow River. The river is 694 kilometers long and drains an area of 39,417 square kilometers, which is 25.3 of the area of Shanxi Province. The lower Fen was part of the core area of ancient China and held the capital of the Jin state state of Jin near Houma, Shanxi Houma . The river nurtured the 2500 year old Sanjin Civilization , and has since been called the Mother River of people in Shanxi . As any river that flows through a city, the Fen River added extra charm to the city of Taiyuan . The construction of dams upstream, however, have since reduced the once abundant flow of the river to a mere trickle, and the river bed became literally dry. In 1990s, the municipal government of Taiyuan built artificial and removable structures across the river at different locations to create reservoirs of water for landscaping purposes. The surface area of these reservoirs amounts to 1.3 million square meters, and along with newly created vegetation of 1.3 million square meters on the banks, forms the Fen River Park .

File Rich fen primula farinosa.jpeg thumb Rich fen in sterg tland, Sweden Rich fen is a type of fen that is rich in calcium, with a pH around 6 8, but nutrient poor. These special conditions have given the rich fens a specialized and species rich flora, which often consists of orchid s, sedges and mosses Rydin et al. 1999 . The rich fens are often classified into the categories moderately rich fen and extremely rich fen. The extremely rich fens have a higher pH and more vascular plants Rydin et al. 1999 . Threats Historically rich fens have been used as meadows and pastures, but the practices ceased during the 20th century Emanuelsson 2009 . Many wetland areas, among them the rich fens, were drained in the 19th and 20th century to create new agricultural land or to increase productivity in the forestry Emanuelsson 2009 . There are several other threats though, that might cause degradation and loss of rich fens such as acidification , eutrophication and overgrowth by trees and bushes because of lack of management. Habitat fragmentation is an ongoing threat that leads to reduced connectivity within the landscape. Small and isolated fragments hold in general fewer species than larger and less isolated areas. One reason is that it is more difficult for the species to disperse between the isolated fragments Hunter et al. 2007 .

A poor fen also known as transitional bog , transitional mire or sedge mire is a natural wetland habitat, consisting of dense low growth of small Cyperaceae sedge s and other plants. It develops on wet ground where the water is fairly acidic and has very few Plant nutrition plant nutrients . Poor fen is intermediate between the taller vegetation of fen , which occurs where the water is much less acidic, and the short, mossy vegetation of bog , which is even more acidic. Ecology Poor fen is found where the ground is permanently wet with nutrient poor water which is somewhat acidic. For example it occurs as the vegetation of flushes marshy springs on slopes , in places where neutral water enters more acidic bogs, in wet acidic grassland, and sometimes in the flatter parts of flood meadow s where much of the water is ombrotrophic derived directly from rainfall . It sometimes forms a floating mat over water or very wet peat, making a mobile surface known as Bog Quaking bog quaking bog . Poor fen is usually grazing grazed by wild animals or livestock , which prevent ecological succession into wet woodland .
