Abstract:

The meadows covered on certain portions with undergrowth vegetation of Vaccinium and Calluna vulgaris are not affected by erosion processes, they sporadically contain herbaceous species that are specific to the biogeographical region and to the vegetation level, some of them with a protective importance. After grazing or formation of passages for animals, these grass species are diminished and sometimes massively destroyed. In the terrestrial survey , we have identified a small number of species, the layer of woody plants remains unmodified regarding the covering, the layer of the plants, when it exists, it modifies its quantitative structure and it will sometimes be dominated by Nardus stricta that is qualitatively poor in species. The described calumets occupy small areas in comparison with the surrounding herbaceous vegetation, are moderately or heavily exposed to the zoogene pressure, they need a complete protection regime.
