Hygromesophile medio-European lowland hay meadows

More humid, or temporarily more humid, swards of the lowland sub-Atlantic mesophile hay meadows of Western Europe and Central Europe, dominated by [Arrhenatherum elatius] and [Alopecurus pratensis], or by the latter alone, and with a species composition intermediate between that of mesophile and humid meadows (37) with [Cirsium oleraceum], [Angelica sylvestris], [Sanguisorba officinalis], [Ranunculus repens], [Myosotis palustris], [Glechoma hederacea], [Lychnis flos-cuculi], [Ajuga reptans], [Cardamine pratensis], [Lysimachia nummularia], [Geranium pratense], [Campanula patula], [Pastinaca sativa], [Heracleum sphondylium], [Anthriscus sylvestris]. Towards the east, in more continental climates, the [Alopecurus] meadows communities increasingly take the character of humid riverine meadows; they have been included in 37 from the Pannonic region eastwards, in the range of the mesophile meadows of 38.5.
