This class mainly occurs along roadsides but also in boundaries between crops<br />
or small fragments of vegetation or hedgerows, mainly on brown soils. The<br />
class is common with a range of different cover species, typically rye-grass<br />
(Lolium perenne), false oat-grass (Arrhenathrum elatius), cock’s-foot (Dactylis<br />
glomerata) <strong>and</strong> creeping bent (Agrostis stolonifera). It is not usually diverse<br />
<strong>and</strong> has characteristic species such as annual meadow-grass (Poa annua),<br />
pineappleweed (Matricaria matricarioides) <strong>and</strong> creeping thistle (Cirsium<br />
arvense). This class is present throughout lowl<strong>and</strong> Britain but is especially<br />
abundant in the south <strong>and</strong> east.<br />
