grassland and tall forb habitats

One of the main habitat types in the EUNIS habitats classification. Non-coastal habitats which are dry or only seasonally wet (with the water table at or above ground level for less than half of the year) with greater than 30 % vegetation cover. The dominant vegetation is grasses and other non-woody vegetation (including moss-, lichen-, fern- and sedge-dominated communities). Includes successional weedy communities and managed grasslands such as recreation fields and lawns. Does not include regularly tilled habitats dominated by cultivated herbaceous vegetation such as arable fields.
