EUNIS habitat type code   F6.63 Level   4
Edition   EUNIS Habitat Classification 2012 - a revision of the habitat classification descriptions.

Description ( English )

Low frutescent or suffrutescent formations of the supra-Mediterranean levels of the Iberian Meseta and its surrounding mountains and of northern Spain and southern France, rich in small labiate shrubs of genera [Thymus], [Teucrium], [Salvia], [Satureja], [Sideritis], [Lavandula], accompanied by leguminous shrubs ([Genista scorpius], [Genista pilosa], [Genista pseudopilosa], [Genista cinerea ssp. speciosa], [Coronilla minima], [Dorycnium pentaphyllum ssp. pentaphyllum]) and various grasses ([Stipa] spp., [Brachypodium] spp.). In the north they often have an important, sometimes predominant, grass element and their impoverished shrub component is sometimes reduced to an almost monospecific [Thymus] formation; southwards, they become progressively more dominated by a richer constellation of shrub species.
