Idealised scheme of the ecological occurrence of the three subassociations of the Festuco-Caricetum supinae (cf. Strimmer 1974). The bothriochloetosum ischaemi occurs mainly in intensively grazed areas, very often on the foot slopes, especially near the village Mals, and sometimes on terraces as well. The stipetosum pennatae characterize the rockier slopes, rocky pulpits and occurs sometimes on rocky parts within the plain areas. The subassociation stipetosum capillatae mostly occur on deeper soils, often on terraces and form very often dense vegetation layers. (Created by M. Lübben).
