Central Balkan salt steppes and saltmarshes

The flora and vegetation of Central Balkan salt steppes and marshes are intermediate in character, influenced both by Pannonian and Mediterranean salt habitats. The vegetation represents a complex mosaic of diverse herb communities. The most frequently dominant species are [Puccinellia convoluta] or [Puccinellia distans], growing in depressions of saltmarshes, where ephemeral vegetation of annuals [Plantago coronopus], [Myosurus minimus], [Camphorosma monspeliaca] etc. is also typical. On higher parts of the saltmarsh micro-relief [Trifolium subterraneum], [Trifolium nigrescens], [Ranunculus marginatus], [Ranunculus pedatus], [Scilla autumnalis], [Allium guttatum] are typical.
