Saline puszta
Description (English)
Festuca pseudovina swards of the slightly elevated natron shoulders and low benches of the Pannonic puszta, on saline but permanently dry soils with a thin humic layer. Together with the low-lying rills that score them, they constitute the main landscape of the saline Pannonian steppes; the formations of unit E6.2111 constitute the centre group of communities, those of unit E6.2113 mostly compose intermediate belts between these and the bare or sparsely vegetated rills, those of units E6.2112 and E6.2114 are edaphically or geographically limited variants, that of unit E6.2116 is both transitional to rill vegetation and geographically limited. The communities of unit E6.2115 comprise the transitions between the saline pusztas and saline steppe-forests.
