Pannonic loess steppic grassland
Description (English)
Grassland communities from the alliance Festucion valesiacae of the Pannonic region, rich on Stipa species (Stipa capillata, Stipa pulcherrima, Stipa joannis) and herbaceous dicotyledonous species including, among others, Salvia nemorosa, Salvia austriaca, Filipendula vulgaris, Astragalus austriacus, Astragalus exscapus, Phlomis tuberosa, Crambe tatarica, Galium verum, Ajuga genevensis, Dianthus pontederae, Thymus glabrescens, and grasses, Festuca rupicola, Koeleria macrantha, established on, notably, loess ridges formed by fluviatile erosion and accumulation. These rare communities are sensitive to grazing and trampling and have been extensively transformed into other grassland types.
