16.3 - Humid dune-slacks

Classification des habitats du Paléarctique (2001)

Description

Humid depressions of the coastal dunal systems of the Palaearctic region. The most important habitats are included in the subordinate units. If the divisions proposed are not sufficient, appropriate codes from units 22.4, 22.3, 54.2, 54.4, 53 can be used in conjunction with them. Humid dune-slacks are extremely rich and specialized habitats, very threatened by the lowering of water tables.
