British NVC community OV10

There are four subcommunities:

• the Polygonum persicaria - Ranunculus repens subcommunity
• the Polygonum aviculare - Matricaria perforata subcommunity
• the Agrostis stolonifera - Rumex crispus subcommunity
• the Dactylis glomerata - Agrostis capillaris subcommunity

This is characteristically a pioneer weed community. Except for the Polygonum - Ranunculus subcommunity, which is mainly confined to the south and east, it is found throughout Britain, in a variety of situations, such as arable land, gardens, recreational grasslands, waysides and gateways, and on soil heaps on construction sites.
