Mediterranean tall perennial dry grassland

Grassland on base-rich soils over various types of calcareous bedrock through the Mediterranean region, where grazing and trampling sustain open or closed swards, generally dominated by tall, dense tussock grasses that lend a steppe-like character. Summer drought and disturbance by grazing and burning help prevent reversion to a forest but can encourage the invasion of aliens.
