S92 Salix fen scrub
Scrub dominated by various species of Salix spp. on peaty and mineral soils maintained in a permanently waterlogged state by high groundwater in floodplain backwaters, around lakes and ponds, among mires and dunes, and in abandoned wet meadows and pastures, occurring through the lowlands of Atlantic, boreal and continental Europe and extending into the Mediterranean region at higher altitudes. Associated floras vary according to the base status of the groundwater and soils.
