R1H Iberian oromediterranean basiphilous dry grassland
Grassland of base-rich soils over calcareous bedrocks on the slopes and crests of high mountains in the Iberian Peninsula and France, with a short growing season and harsh winters when strong winds blow the ground free of snow and leave the surface subject to deep cold which encourages the development of freeze-thaw features. The vegetation cover, moderately open to closed, is dominated by prostrate or dwarf grasses and forbs and includes many endemics.
