U3D Wet inland cliff

new search

Permanently wet cliffs in temperate and mediterranean regions, in often highly localised situations, where rock and earth surfaces are kept wet by water trickles, spray splashing and a sunless orientation. The characteristic flora is dominated by shade and moisture-tolerant vascular plants, luxuriant ferns and bryophytes, and green and blue-green algae.
