Classification des habitats EUNIS 2022

Descriptif de l'habitat

Meadows and pastures of less nutrient-rich soils, wet for much of the year, though not inundated by flood-waters and drying out in summer, especially in more continental regions. The soils may be somewhat acidic to base-rich, sometimes peaty above, and through the lowland to submontane belts of Europe, they have been part of wider landscapes among fens and drier grasslands. Less productive than flood meadows, they are mown just once a year, and towards the west of the range, often just lightly grazed, but they can be species-rich with some characteristic and striking species.
