B41

Scandinavian middle alpine complex of windswept heaths (Kobresia myosuroides, Juncus trifidus, Festuca ovina), grass heaths (Nardus stricta, Carex bigelowii) and scree vegetation with Oxyria digyna, Ranunculus glacialis

Description

The entire vegetation, with an absent shrub layer, is a vegetation complex determined by small-scale site differences. Relief differences (wind-exposed elevations and chionophilous basins) alternating with rubble communities of the middle alpine belt have a particularly imposing effect. Some woody species with a low creeping growth pattern (Dryas octopetala, Salix herbaceae) are present.
