British NVC community OV22

This community occurs very widely throughout Britain. It is found on disturbed loamy soils, where there is only light trampling, such as alongside tracks and paths, on roadside verges, at the base of walls, and on recently turned or neglected soil in gardens, farms and waste ground.

There are three subcommunities:

• the Senecio vulgaris subcommunity
• the Cirsium vulgare - C. arvense subcommunity
• the Crepis vesicaria - Epilobium adenocaulon subcommunity
