Description ( English )

Low woods and scrubs colonizing fens, marshy floodplains and fringes of lakes and ponds, dominated by large or medium sized shrubby willows, generally [Salix aurita], [Salix cinerea], [Salix atrocinerea], [Salix pentandra], alone or in association with [Frangula alnus], [Rhamnus catharticus], [Alnus glutinosa] or [Betula pubescens], any of which may dominate the upper canopy. In boreal regions and on cold subboreal plateaux, small shrubs may dominate, e.g. dwarf [Salix] spp. associated with [Betula humilis] or [Betula nana]. Excludes boreal and subalpine lakeside scrub on well drained soils (F2).
