Description ( English )
Meadows of moderately to very nutrient-rich, alluvial or fertilised, non-saline, wet or damp soils in the steppe and wooded steppe zones of Eurasia and their areas of influence. They are widespread in southeastern Central Europe, in Eastern Europe and southern Siberia, extending west to the Pannonic plain and to areas of Pannonic or Pontic influence in southern Moravia, sub-Carpathian hills and the Balkans. Depending on the degree of wetness and substrate type dominants in wet sites are [Molinia caerulea] or [Carex gracilis]; physiognomy of hygromesophile meadows is formed especially by [Deschampsia cespitosa], [Juncus inflexus] and [Mentha longifolia]; in mesophile and moderately moist conditions on alluvial sediments [Agropyron repens] or [Festuca pratensis] dominate.
