V31 Agriculturally-improved, re-seeded and heavily fertilised grassland, including sports fields and grass lawns

new search

Land occupied by heavily fertilised or re-seeded permanent grassland, sometimes treated by selective herbicides, with very impoverished flora and fauna, used for grazing, soil protection and stabilisation, landscaping or recreation.

[This habitat could not be formally defined in the expert system because these grasslands cannot be distinguished from other some other grassland habitats based on the vegetation-plot data.]
