Plant communities have been documented on the heaps too. They correspond to the acidified vegetation of alpine rocks and boulder screes (low moss, lichens, ferns and acidified grasses). At the edges of heaps the vegetation is gradually spreading towards the centre of the heap.

"Scree
Scree is a collection of broken rock fragments at the base of crags, mountain cliffs, volcanoes or valley shoulders that has accumulated through periodic rockfall from adjacent cliff faces. Landforms associated with these materials are often called talus deposits. Talus deposits typically have a concave upwards form, while the maximum inclination corresponds to the angle of repose of the mean debris size.
The term scree comes from the Old Norse term for landslide, skriða, while the term talus is a French word meaning a slope or embankment. ..."

"Boulder
In geology, a boulder is a rock with grain size of usually no less than 300 millimetres (12 in) diameter. While a boulder may be small enough to move or roll manually, others are extremely massive. In common usage, a boulder is too large for a person to move. Smaller boulders are usually just called rocks or stones. The word boulder is short for boulder stone, from Middle English bulderston or Swedish bullersten. ..."
