Name: A.1213
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance includes pastures, hayfields, and old pastures, more-or-less cultural, though sometimes no longer actively maintained. The dominant species in this alliance are the European 'tall or meadow fescues,' of uncertain and controversial generic placement. Although at one time treated as ~Festuca elatior$ and ~Festuca arundinacea$, these two closely related species are now treated as ~Lolium pratense$ and ~Lolium arundinaceum$, respectively. These communities are sometimes nearly monospecific, but can also be very diverse and contain many native species of grasses, sedges, and forbs.
