NVC mosaic maps, i.e. how the communities you have actually sit next to one another on the ground, plus schematic maps you could lift straight into a report.
What follows is exactly the sort of thing used in Phase 2 / NVC survey mapping notes.
NVC Mosaic Mapping (from your species list)
1. Upland Heath–Bog Mosaic (Dominant Landscape Unit)
This is clearly your core ecological unit.
Primary communities
H12 Calluna vulgaris–Vaccinium myrtillus heath
H9 Calluna–Deschampsia flexuosa heath
M15 Trichophorum cespitosum–Erica tetralix wet heath
M20 Eriophorum vaginatum blanket bog
Typical spatial pattern
[ H12 / H9 ]
↓ wetter
[ M15 ]
↓ peat depth increases
[ M20 ]
Field indicators
Heather dominance → H12 / H9
Deergrass + Cross-leaved heath → M15
Hare’s-tail cottongrass tussocks → M20
Notes
Boundaries are diffuse, not sharp
This mosaic is a Priority Habitat (Upland Heath & Blanket Bog)
2. Bog–Flush–Fen Micro-mosaic
Occurs within and cutting through the heath/bog matrix.
Communities
M6 Carex echinata–Sphagnum recurvum mire
M10 Carex dioica–Pinguicula vulgaris mire
M23 Juncus effusus/acutiflorus rush pasture
Spatial pattern
Wet → Dry
[M25] → [U4] → [U5]
Notes
OV26 often temporary, following disturbance
W7 confined to hydrologically active zones
5. Conifer Plantation / Semi-natural Pine Mosaic
Communities
W18 Pinus sylvestris woodland
H12 / H9 heath remnants
M15 wet heath pockets
Spatial pattern
[ W18 canopy ]
↕
[ H12 / H9 remnants ]
↕
[ M15 hollows ]
Notes
Often fragmented
Restoration potential very high if plantations are thinned or removed
6. Standing Water & Marginal Mosaic
Communities
A10 Potamogeton polygonifolius community
M6 / M23 marginal mires
Spatial pattern
Open water
[ A10 ]
↓ margin
[ M6 ]
↓ pasture
[ M23 ]
Whole-site Conceptual Mosaic Map
If this were a single upland site, the overall pattern would look like:

M15 pockets

M20 cores

M6 / M10 flush lines

M25 skirts

How This Is Shown on a Real NVC Map
In reports, this becomes:
Polygons for dominant communities (H12, M20, W11)
Linear features for flushes (M6, M10)
Mosaic notation, e.g.:
H12/M15/M20 mosaic with localised M6 flushes
or
M25–U4 mosaic with U5 dominance under grazing
