StN DATABASE: CONTENT AND GLOSSARY OF ... - Pollinators

new field margin, field margin/hedge bank: uncultivated, linear strip of land along the boundary of a
cropland or intensive grassland, that has been in place for at least 5 years, but less than 15 years, is at
least 1.5m wide and covered in herbaceous vegetation in which grasses predominate (field margins that
have been in place for less than 5 years are treated under setaside).
non-calc., moraine and scree: moraine and scree derived from non-calcareous, primarily silicaceous,
rock types and with some pioneer vegetation, e.g. Androsacion alpinae (Delarze et al, 1998), but
excluding thermophilous scree.
non-calcareous mountain pine forest, mountain pine forest: CORINE .42.413
CORINE 42.413: Pyrenean alpenrose mountain pine forests. Rhododendro ferruginei-Pinetum
uncinatae (Saxifrago-Rhododendronetum pinetosum). Pinus mugo ssp.uncinata forest of ubacs of the
Pyrenees developed on siliceous soils, or on decalcified soils in the calcareous ranges, in the more
humid and snowy parts of the subalpine level, with a ground layer dominated by Rhododendron
ferrugineum accompanied by Vaccinium Myrtillus, Homogyne alpine, Rosa pendulina, Deschampsia
flexuosa, Oxalis acetosella, Juniperus nana, Calluna vulgaris, Gymnocarpium dryopteris, Dryopteris
carthusiana spinulosum and Solidago virgaurea.
not flooded, Salix, deciduous plantations: large-willow (Salix) plantations not subject to periodic
flooding
not flooded, Populus, deciduous plantations: poplar (Populus ) plantations not subject to periodic
flooding
old field walls: walls made from blocks of natural rock, that have been in situ long enough to gather a
partial covering of vegetation e.g. Sedum, Umbilicus, thus providing a secondary habitat for some
syrphids of moraine and scree.
oligotrophic, humid, lowland unimproved grassland: nutrient-poor, humid, rush and mat-grass
grassland.
