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

iver (gen.), running freshwater: permanent running-water bodies in which the channel is too broad
for herb layer vegetation or bushes to form a closed canopy over the water.
river bank (gen.), water edge: the rising land bordering a river channel, subject to periodic
inundation by water.
river edge u. canopy, forest supplementary habitat: river margins beneath a tree canopy
rock outcrops in forest, forest supplementary habitats: exposed rock (small cliffs, outcroppings,
pavements, occupying 5% or more of ground surface) with sparse and patchy vegetation of vascular
plants (i.e. excluding moss cover)
rock outcrops in open, open ground supplementary habitat: exposed rock (small cliffs, outcroppings,
pavements, occupying 5% or more of ground surface) with sparse and patchy vegetation of vascular
plants (i.e. excluding moss cover)
rockery (or rock garden), urban park: area of natural or introduced bare rock (when constructed, rather
than natural, normally composed of large stones/boulders grouped or cemented together) with soil
pockets planted with often tussock-forming, low-growing herbaceous plants (frequently alpine in
origin, e.g. Saxifraga, Sedum, Sempervivum) or shrubs (e.g. procumbent Juniperus). CORINE 85.14:
Park flower beds, arbors and shrubbery
running (gen.), freshwater: this category includes rivers, brooks, springs and flushes (helocrene,
limnocrene and rheocrene forms of spring and flush are all included here, for convenience).
running, edge (gen.), water edge: land/water ecotones of rivers and brooks.
Salix (gen.), deciduous plantations: substitution habitat for some riparian forest species of plants and
animals. CORINE 83.325: OTHER BROAD-LEAVED TREE PLANTATIONS
Salix, scattered trees in open ground: see scattered trees in open ground (gen.).
Salix alba/Populus gallery softwood, alluvial forest: residual softwood alluvial forest formation of
the potamal section of a river’s course, subject to annual flooding; often in an almost linear form of
small patches or lines of trees along the river course, with associated patches of understorey and herb
layer. CORINE 44.13
CORINE 44.13: white willow gallery forests; Saliciion albae, Salicetum albae, Salicetum fragilis;
arborescent galleries of Salix, sometimes including Populus nigra, along medio-European lowland
rivers, submitted to regular inundation.. Natura 2000 code: 91E0.
Salix alba/Populus, alluvial forests: formations of Salicetea purpureae and Pupuletalia albae subject
to periodic flooding, with stands of overmature, mature and young (saplings/scrub) trees: CORINE
44.1. Temporary pools are features intrinsic to this habitat category.
CORINE 44.1: RIPARIAN WILLOW FORMATIONS; Salicetea purpureae; Populetalia albae p.;
Salix spp. brush or arborescent formations, lining flowing water and submitted to periodic flooding.
Habitats Directive Natura 2000 code: 91E0 (see also under gallery softwood forest).
Salix swamp (gen.), wet woods: small-willow (Salix spp.) dominated wet woodlands of lake edges
and seepages/springs on river or brook floodplains, with stands of overmature, mature and young
(saplings/scrub) trees (see also under fen carr).
salt marsh (gen.), brackish habitats: CORINE 15: SALT MARSHES, SALT STEPPES AND
GYPSUM SCRUBS: Plant communities which are submerged by high tides at some stage of the
annual tidal cycle; also continental and coastal halophile and gypsophile communities.
Salzmann's pine forest, conifer forest: Pinus nigra v.salzmanni forests of Spain and southern France.
CORINE 42.631: Causses Salzmann's pine forest, of the southern edge of the Massif Central, with an
undergrowth typical of supra-Mediterraneean white oak forest at the upper limit and of evergreen oak
forest at lower altitudes; Buxus sempervirens is usually abundant. Usually rather open pine forest on
