This is a Festuca brevipila dominated grassland, occurring on sandy soils at disturbed sites, such as trampled or mown lawns in and around villages, along roads, on playgrounds, margins of pine forests, and on military training grounds. It is most common in sandy areas along the Labe river and in the Doksy region of northern Bohemia, but scattered localities are also found on terraces of other rivers and on sandy deposits derived from weathered granite in different parts of the Bohemian Massif.
