Meadow With Yellow Flowers. A Meadow Is An Open Habitat Or Field, Vegetated By Grasses, Herbs, And Other Non-Woody Plants. Trees Or Shrubs May Sparsely Populate Meadows, As Long As These Areas Maintain An Open Character. Meadows Can Occur Naturally Under Favourable Conditions, But Are Often Artificially Created From Cleared Shrub Or Woodland For The Production Of Hay, Fodder, Or Livestock. Meadow Habitats, As A Group, Are Characterized As Semi-Natural Grasslands, Meaning That They Are Largely Composed Of Species Native To The Region, With Only Limited Human Intervention.
