Wasteland 3 – Third in a series of pictures of vegetation apparently growing naturally and demonstrating a marvellous biodiversity on wasteland. I believe another name for this kind of habitat is Brownfield. Technically this is known as an open mosaic habitat. There seemed to be very little soil or humus content. Much of what I could see was compacted fragments of brick and stone.
Britain’s Habitats – A Field guide to the Wildlife Habitats of Great Britain and Ireland says that these sites are important as ‘a refuge for early successional species that are scarce or absent in the wider urban landscape’. Photographed on the margins of the flattened site of a former dockland building by the side of Pipers Walk on the Waterfront in Swansea, South Wales, 19 June 2021.

I see this kind of thing happening here in vacant lots In transition from one thing to another like this. I love seeing ruins return to life.

Thanks, Claudia. It seems that nature can take advantage of the least hospitable and most unlikely places, and sometimes nowadays it gets a helping hand. It’s clear that people are really beginning to appreciate this kind of wild beauty.
