Bare tilled, fallow or recently abandoned arable land
Description (English)
Fields abandoned or left to rest, and other interstitial spaces on disturbed ground. Set-aside or abandoned arable land with forbs planted for purposes of soil protection, stabilisation, fertilisation or reclamation. Abandoned fields are colonised by numerous pioneer, introduced or nitrophilous plants. They provide habitats that can be used by animals of open spaces.
