R1-2 - Végétations dominées par des cryptogames et des annuelles sur les affleurements de roches siliceuses

Cryptogam- and annual-dominated vegetation on siliceous rock outcrops

Classification des habitats EUNIS 2022

Descriptif de l'habitat

Open pioneer grassland dominated by perennial succulents and annuals, with subordinate small tussock grasses, sometimes geophytes and often a prominent contingent of cryptogams. Typically forming small stands on very shallow and skeletal, impoverished, acid soils on siliceous rock outcrops, eroded slopes and disturbed or artificial habitats like soil heaps and wall tops, the habitat occurs throughout temperate and boreal Europe up to the subalpine belt, in situations where the permeable soils dry quickly in summer, but where spring rains can permit a quick flush of growth by the annuals.
