Vegetation of open habitats in the British National Vegetation Classification system

Last updated

This article gives an overview of the plant communities formed by vegetation of open habitats in the British National Vegetation Classification system.

Introduction

The open habitat communities of the NVC were described in Volume 5 of British Plant Communities , first published in 2000, along with the three groups of maritime communities (shingle, strandline and sand-dune communities, salt-marsh communities and maritime cliff communities).

In total, 42 open habitat communities have been identified.

The open habitat communities consist of eight separate subgroups:

Flora of Lebanon Wikimedia list article

The flora of Lebanon includes approximately 2,600 plant species. Situated on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Basin, Lebanon is a reservoir of plant diversity and one of the world's biodiversity hotspots for conservation priorities. Endemic species constitute 12% of the Lebanese flora; 221 plant species are broad endemics and 90 are narrow endemics. Important Plant Areas (IPAs) featuring the country exceptional botanical richness were defined in 2018.
