V10Y Vegetable gardens and root crops with winter-spring weeds
Description
Patchy communities composed by a pretty rich assemblage of annual, nitrophilous species, usually associated with home gardens, particularly nutrient-rich but disturbed very frequently.

Relations with other habitat types
Occupies wetter, shadier and nutrient-richer sites, and has a longer flowering season than V10X and V10Z, being also poorer in neophytes. The short life-stories of the constituent species enable the allocation of their production not into robust, competitive vegetative systems but into abundant, highly-dispersive seeds (increasing the probability of arriving at new clearings), leading to their predominance in recently or frequently disturbed areas (originally by trampling or rooting by large animals, by tilling ever since the Neolithic).Regional distribution
Known occurrences and potential area of occupancy of the habitat type in the study region.
