Classification des habitats EUNIS 2022

Descriptif de l'habitat

Dominated by small tussock grasses, forbs and mat-formers, including many endemics, this grassland occurs on shallow skeletal soils, nutrient-poor and drought-prone, developed over outcrops of siliceous and ultramafic bedrocks at moderate to high altitudes in the western Iberian Peninsula. The habitat is a traditional part of pastoral landscapes grazed mostly by sheep.
