This habitat type includes wet depressions between dunes in Western Europe that are inhabited by creeping willow communities. As the creeping willow is rare in Estonia as a pure species – its hybrid with the rosemary-leaved willow is more common –, it is not easy to distinguish this habitat type in nature.
Such depressions between the dunes, where communities of creeping willow and its prostrate form grow, are found in Estonia only in very small areas on the coast of the western islands and in the Pakri landscape protection area, often together with another habitat type – humid dune slacks (2190).
