15.339 - Atlantic Eleocharis salt meadows

Classification des habitats du Paléarctique (2001)

Description

Atlantic saltmarsh or brackish marsh communities dominated by Eleocharis uniglumis or Eleocharis palustris, associated with Agrostis stolonifera or Carex paleacea. They constitute a common upper shore community in Scotland; they are also very prevalent on the lower levels of the brackish marshes of the Baltic, east and north of southeastern Sweden and Estonia; in western Scandinavia they are restricted to estuaries and fjord heads. They occur on saline littorals in Iceland.
