R352 Juncus acutiflorus meadows

New search

Description

Analogue of R361 in less intensively managed and not so eutrophic meadows (i.e., referable to R221). The abundance of Juncus acutiflorus leads us to use this unit, albeit since formations rather referable to R351 are not absent, it might make sense the creation of a R53x under which both units could be recognised at higher levels. These grasslands contact and can form dynamic mosaics with R55x, which occurs in hardly mown or grazed, less managed and more permanently waterlogged areas.
