Xerothermic grassland - non-forest plant community of a grassland or grass-herb nature. Xerothermic grasslands are widespread in southern and south-eastern Europe, in areas with dry and warm summers. In Western and Central Europe, including Poland, xerothermic grasslands develop on sunny slopes on a dry limestone substrate. Therefore, the species that build this type of phytocoenosis are mainly photophilous and limestone-loving plants. In Poland, xerothermic grasslands are predominantly semi-natural communities, whose stability requires interference in the form of, for example, extensive grazing.
