S65 Mediterranean gypsum scrub
Open chamaephyte scrub with a lichen crust and rainy-spring annual herb flora, on gypsum-rich substrates in areas with a dry to semi-arid mediterranean climate in the Iberian Peninsula. The extreme climatic and edaphic conditions maintain the habitat as naturally stable, but it can bear some light grazing.
