Cultivated areas of large-scale recreational gardens. The vegetation, usually composed mainly of introduced species or cultivars, can nevertheless include many native plants and supports a varied fauna when not intensively managed. Large-scale gardens are treated as habitat complexes (X23).
[None of the habitats within group V2 could be formally defined in the expert system because cultivated areas in gardens or parks cannot be distinguished from various man-made habitats based on the vegetation-plot data.]
