Sub-Mediterranean grasslands of the Molinio-Hordeion secalini
Description (English)
Humid grasslands of the alliance Molinio-Hordeion secalini found alongside karstic rivers and in karstic fields (poljes) in the Dinaric Alps. These humid meadows were traditionally used as extensive pastures and hay meadows and are flooded or very wet in winter and spring, gradually drying throughout the summer. Because of the extreme differences in soil moisture, there is a mix of hygrophilous plants and plants more typical of dry habitats growing together. These wet grasslands occur within a usually dry Mediterranean landscape and often host endemic species including Edraianthus dalmaticus, Succisella petteri and Chouardia litardierei.
