Vaikimisi pilt

Coastal dunes fixed and leached (washed out) with permanent vegetation, which are mainly covered by crowberry. There are usually no trees or shrubs, while in some places, there are a few stunted pines and junipers. This habitat type has similar vegetation to that of dry sand heaths (2320). The two are mainly distinguished by their position on the landscape: the habitat type in question occurs on fixed dunes near the coast. In addition, two species of the Empetrum genus grow here together (only crowberry grows on dry sand heaths).

Decalcified fixed dunes with crowberry are found mainly on the islands of the Gulf of Finland (Aksi, Koipse, Rammu, Pedassaar, Mohni) and near the coast – by the Gulf of Keibu, on the Viimsi Peninsula, etc.).

Includes the habitat type 5113 (brown dune site type) according to Paal.
