R36 Moist or wet mesotrophic to eutrophic pasture
Pastures of moist to wet, mesotrophic to eutrophic soils, generally inundated during winter and spring, on floodplains, lake shores and ditch sides throughout temperate Europe, sometimes with a brackish influence. Grazing is mostly by cattle which can strongly affect the nutrient status, and compaction of the soil and plants tolerant of inundation and trampling dominate here with a paucity of attractive flowers and a poor associated invertebrate fauna.
