| Grassland on sandy soil
has usually a low content of lime and other nutrients and the soil is
acidic. Other typical species in this type of vegetation - not all
found in "Rødme Svinehaver" - are Ranunculus bulbosos, Saxifraga
granulata, Armeria maritima, Lychnis viscaria (left picture),
Scorzonera humilis, Thymus serpyllum and species from heaths as
Empetrum nigrum, Genista anglica and others. A number of more or less rare species prefer the sandy grassland as Pseudorchis albida, Gentianella campestris, Vicia orobus, Botrychium matricariifolium and Antennaria dioeca. In Denmark most of these species can only be found in Jutland. |
