NVC community SD1 (Rumex crispus - Glaucium flavum shingle community) is the only shingle community in the British National Vegetation Classification system.
It is a fairly widely distributed community. There are two subcommunities.
Two constant species, Yellow Horned-poppy (Glaucium flavum) and Curled Dock (Rumex crispus), are found in this community:
One rare species, Sea-kale (Crambe maritima), is also associated with the community:
This community is found in many localities on the south and east coasts of England, from Norfolk to Dorset, and also in scattered localities in the Isles of Scilly, Wales, northwest England and southwest Scotland.
There are two subcommunities:
NVC community W13, also known as Yew woodland, is one of the woodland communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system; it is the only Yew woodland community in the NVC.
NVC community CG7 is one of the calcicolous grassland communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. It is one of three short-sward communities associated with heavy grazing, within the lowland calcicolous grassland group, and is regarded as the eastern counterpart of "typical" chalk grassland.
