Periodically exposed shores
Description (English)
These habitats include wetlands with periodically changing states of flooding and bottom exposure. They occur on shores of rivers, lakes and ponds, in river channels, ditches, oxbows and on wet arable land. After water draw-down, the exposed wet substrate is quickly colonised by annual herbaceous plants. Depending on the substrate and water quality, the habitats can be eutrophic, mesotrophic or saline.
