Sesleria caerulea grasslands

new search

This is grassland vegetation dominated by Sesleria caerulea, occurring on north-facing cliffs and rocky slopes in warm and dry areas of Central Europe. It contains a mixture of thermophilous species of dry grasslands and dealpine species, which were probably widespread on base-rich substrata of the lowlands during the last Ice Age, but have largely retreated to higher altitudes of the Alps and Carpathians in the Holocene.
