vallon calcaire Explanation: Je ne fais que reprendre cette référence bilingue : Kent and East Sussex has a diverse and significant habitat resource of a quality and extent which exceeds that of many other counties. Many seminatural habitats are designated as being of importance at the international, national or local level. In particular, heathland, wetlands, shingle, chalk downland, and ancient woodland. Le Kent et l'East Sussex possèdent des ressources d'habitat diverses et significatives d'une qualité et d'une ampleur supérieures à celles des autres régions. La plupart des habitats semi naturels ont une importance au niveau international, national et local et notamment, les landes, les terrains humides, les zones d'éboulis, les vallons calcaires et les anciens domaines boisés. http://www.interact-eu.net/download/application/pdf/1007710 |
