Oro-Iberian calciphilous stripped grasslands
Description (English)
Thermophile, open, stripped and garland fescue grasslands of calcareous upper slopes and summits in the subalpine and oro-Mediterranean levels of the Cantabrian mountains, the Iberian Range and the calcareous Baetic ranges, dominated by Festuca hystrix, Festuca burnatii, Poa ligulata or Oreochloa confusa. They are closely allied to the Iberian fescue frost-grasslands (unit R1G1) of the supra-Mediterranean and montane levels of the same mountains.
