7240 - * Alpine pioneer formations of the Caricion bicoloris-atrofuscae

Descripción original en inglés (EUR28)

Alpine, peri-Alpine and northern British communities colonising neutral to slightly acid gravely, sandy, stony, sometimes somewhat argilous or peaty substrates soaked by cold water, in moraines and on edges of springs, rivulets, glacial torrents of the alpine or sub-alpine levels, or on alluvial sands of pure, cold, slow-flowing rivers and calm backwaters. A permanent or continuous soil frost over a long period is essential for the existence of this habitat type. Low vegetation composed principally of species of Carex and Juncus (Caricion bicoloris-atrofuscae).
