Mesic perennial anthropogenic herbaceous vegetation
Description (English)
Stands dominated by perennial herbaceous plants, frequently ruderals, developing on mesic to slightly wet abandoned urban or agricultural land, on land that has been reclaimed, on transport networks, or on land used for waste disposal. These stands often replace annual anthropogenic herbaceous vegetation in the course of secondary succession.
