R1-3 - Végétations dominées par des cryptogames et des annuelles sur les affleurements de roches calcaires et ultramafiques

Cryptogam- and annual-dominated vegetation on calcareous and ultramafic rock outcrops

Classification des habitats EUNIS 2022

Descriptif de l'habitat

Open pioneer grassland with perennial succulents and spring annuals, subordinate small tussock grasses and herbs, and often with a very prominent and rich contingent of cryptogams. Typically found in small patches on very shallow and skeletal, impoverished, base-rich soils on a wide variety of base-rich and sometimes ultramafic bedrocks, and similar artificial habitats like quarry spoil and wall-tops. It is found from the hemiboreal to the submediterranean zone, occurring mainly at higher altitudes further south.
