Temperate Rubus scrub
Description (English)
Low Rubus-dominated scrub, deciduous or sometimes evergreen, of successions and ecotones in a wide variety of semi-natural landscapes through the Atlantic region and elsewhere in submontane belts Europe where a locally moist climate prevails. Rubus is an enormously diverse genus of often apomictic and endemic taxa with associated floras related to soil base-status and moisture.
