Classification des habitats du Paléarctique (2001)

Description

Shrubby formations of Arthrocnemum glaucum. Along northern Mediterranean shores, they often occupy somewhat drier sites such as shell banks in saline lagoons; in the North African coastal marshes of Cyrenaica, Tripolitana, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco, they constitute the only Arthrocnemum formations.
