Decalcified fixed dunes with Empetrum nigrum

Description (English)

Decalcified dunes colonised by Empetrum nigrum heaths, of the German, Danish, Scottish, Finnish, Swedish and Dutch (Friesian) coasts. Syntaxa associated to this habitat type: Empetrion nigri, Calluno Genistion pilosae p., Ericion tetralicis p.
The term "fixed" should be taken to mean the opposite of "shifting". The psychrophilic coastal association Carici trinervis-Callunetum vulgaris de Foucault & Gehu 1978 may be included here.

Conservation status

EU conservation status

Conservation status assesses every six years and for each biogeographical region the condition of habitats and species compared to the favourable status as described in the Habitats Directive. The map shows the 2013-2018 assessments as reported by EU Member State. Assessments are further detailed in the summary document available behind the link below.

Good: A habitat is in a situation where it is prospering and with good prospects to do so in the future as well
Poor: A habitat is in a situation where a change in management or policy is required to return the habitat to favourable status but there is no danger of disappearance in the foreseeable future
Bad: A habitat is in serious danger of disappearing (at least regionally)
Unknown: The information available for the habitat type is scarce and does not allow a proper assessment of its conservation status
