This habitat type also includes low to moderately fertilised grasslands. As fertilisation significantly reduces species diversity, such meadows have no conservation value in Estonia, but in some cases, they can have value as buffer zones between and around other more valuable habitats. This habitat type also includes arable land that has been overgrowing for more than ten years, where the natural vegetation has more or less recovered. The existence of the meadow foxtail (Alopecurus pratensis) and the great burnet (Sanguisorba officinalis) in the meadow has not been considered definitive in classifying this habitat in Estonia.
Includes the habitat type 2142 (fresh boreo-nemoral grassland site type) according to Paal.
