Siliceous scree of the montane to snow levels (Androsacetalia alpinae and Galeopsietalia ladani)

Liste hiérarchisée et descriptifs des Habitats d'Intérêt Communautaire (HIC) de la directive "Habitats-Faune-Flore"

Définition EUR 28

This habitat consist of:
a) communities of siliceous scree of the upper montane level to the permanent snow level, growing on more or less moving ‘cryoclastic systems’ with variable granulometry and belonging to the order Androsacetalia alpinae.
b) vegetation of the montane level of the west and centre of Europe growing on screes sometimes of artificial origin (extraction of materials). It consists of alpine communities often rich in bryophytes, lichens and sometimes in ferns (Cryptogramma crispa), belonging to the order Galeopsietalia.

Remarques

This habitat is generally in close association with the chasmophytic vegetation on siliceous rocky slopes (8220). In Ireland and the United Kingdom, sites sheltering rare arctic-alpine plants (post glacial remnants) have a high conservation value.
