Dry mediterranean lands with unpalatable non-vernal herbaceous vegetation
English name:
Dry mediterranean lands with unpalatable non-vernal herbaceous vegetation
Description (English)
Dry lands with shrub cover < 10%, and with a large component of non-vernal unpalatable plants, including geophytes (Asphodelus, Urginea), thistles (Carthamus, Carlina, Centaurea, Onopordum), Ferula and Phlomis, especially characteristic of the drier parts of the Mediterranean basin. These habitats usually result from over-grazing of garrigue, which eliminates the shrubs.
