Pelouses tourbeuses de Troodos

Calamagrostis epipejeos tall (c. 1m) meadows developing at an altitude of around 1650 m on seasonally inundated depressions, on serpentinised substrate with basic pH. The meadows are inundated from October-November until June-July, depending on the rainfall but even in summer the soil is wet and muddy. The vegetation cover is thick and the dominant graminoids C. epipejeos and Juncus littoralis and other herbs form a continuous mat on the soil. The floristic structure is characterised by species which occur only or mainly at this habitat in Cyprus, such as C. epipejeos and Poa pratensis, and by a few endemic species occuring only at the high altitude damp places in the Troodos mountains
