Concept: Eastern sub-Mediterranean dry grassland in the eunishabitats vocabulary

Concept URI http://eunis.eea.europa.eu/eunishabitats/E1.55
Preferred label Eastern sub-Mediterranean dry grassland
Definition Open, xeric grasslands on carbonate rocks or flysh of the sub-Mediterranean zones of Trieste, Istria, the Balkan peninsula and of the [Ostryo-Carpinion] zone of Greece, where they coexist with steppic grasslands of the [Festucetalia valesiacae] (unit E1.21), developing in areas of lesser continentality than the latter, and incorporating a greater Mediterranean element than they do; like the steppic grasslands, however, they are often dominated by [Carex humilis] or [Festuca rupicola]. Maintained by extensive mowing or grazing, they are invaded by tall herbs after abandonment.
