Hyperici perforati—Agrostietum giganteaereplaces the previous one under mowing and grazing. The Molinietalia wet meadows are widespread in the river valleys. The meadows of ass. Cirsio heterophylli—Calamagrostietum langsdorffii occur on wet soils in small depressions and along floodplain mire margins, and ass.
