Montane Cytisus purgans fields

Description (English)

Cytisus purgans-dominated formations of higher levels (upper montane, subalpine, oro-mediterranean) of southwestern European and North African mountains, often associated with dwarf juniper scrubs (unit S231) or hedgehog-heaths (unit F7.4 of EUNIS 2012 split in S73, S74, S75, S76), and physiognomically reminiscent of the latter.
