In many places, such dwarf shrubs as Erica cinerea, 

 Calluna vulgaris, and Empetrum nigrum become very 

 abundant; and thus a type of vegetation is produced 

 which is transitional from Nardus grassland to moorland 

 (see diagram on p. 137). 



(ii) Molinietum cserulese. The wetter type of siliceous 

 grassland (see p. 132), dominated by purple moor-grass 

 (Molinia cserulea), is of far less extent on the southern 

 Pennines than the Nardus grassland, and much more 

 local in its occurrence.
