| Definition | Primary species-rich, relatively closed, multi-strata steppic grasslands, on deep chernozems, the main Pannonic representative of the steppes of Central Eurasia, composed mainly of [Festuca rupicola], [Stipa capillata], [Koeleria cristata], [Poa angustifolia], [Bromus inermis], [Elymus hispidus], [Achillea pannonica], [Taraxacum serotinum], [Viola ambigua], [Astragalus onobrychis], [Chamaecytisus austriacus], [Chamaecytisus supinus], [Adonis vernalis], [Veronica austriaca], [Veronica prostrata], [Vinca herbacea], [Asperula glauca], [Allium paniculatum], with [Nepeta parviflora], [Silene longiflora], [Ajuga laxmannii], [Astragalus dasyanthus], [Astragalus vesicarius], [Astragalus exscapus], [Astragalus austriacus], [Salvia nemorosa], [Salvia nutans], [Echium maculatum]. Originally widely distributed throughout the loess plateau of the Pannonic basin and at the foot of the Hungarian Central Range, but now reduced only to small fragments because of intensive agricultural activity. This habitat is of major conservation importance and harbours numerous rare and threatened taxa, including, among flowering plants, [Crambe tataria], [Adonis transsylvanica], [Thlaspi jankae], [Brassica elongata]. |
