British NVC community OV24

British NVC community OV24 (Urtica dioica - Galium aparine community) is one of the open habitat communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. It is one of four tall-herb weed communities.

This community occurs widely throughout lowland Britain and, if conditions are suitable, is also found in the upland fringes.

There are two subcommunities.

Community composition

The following constant species are found in this community:

Distribution

This community occurs widely throughout lowland Britain. Under suitable conditions, it is also found in the upland fringes. It typically occurs on disturbed, nutrient-rich soils and is frequently found around dumps of rich soil, dung, or farm waste, in neglected gardens and around abandoned buildings, on waste land, and on disturbed verges and tracks. It develops best in conditions of partial shade.

Subcommunities

There are two subcommunities:

  • the so-called typical subcommunity
  • the Arrhenatherum elatius - Rubus fruticosus agg. subcommunity
gollark: I suppose it would be good if arbitrary people could contribute APIONET data.
gollark: I'm not really sure.
gollark: There are also annoying requirements for amateur radio like no encryption.
gollark: This is not too difficult I think. Maybe more so right now.
gollark: There's already APRS and such so maybe APIONET could interop with that.
