Concept in Definition ABC

Understood as one of the most accessible ecosystems for the habitat of the human being for his weather, the meadow is always represented as a flat space, with vegetation relatively low and controlled, with temperate climates and indescribable beauty.

The meadow is a ecosystem found mainly in the temperate zones of the planet such as a large part of the USA, the Argentine Pampas, some areas of Brazil, central Europe, Australia and southern Africa. Although the prairie is characterized by having a temperate climate to great traitsThis does not mean that there are no variations according to the region, being able to find examples of warm grasslands and cold grasslands on planet Earth.

The meadow is characterized by having low vegetation mainly composed of bushes, herbaceous plants, reed beds or grasses. All of them appear in great variety although at first glance they do not present as many differences between them as can be observed in other ecosystems that are richer and more abundant in vegetation. At the same time, tall trees and vegetation are not characteristic of this ecosystem, in addition to being largely eliminated by man to favor cattle grazing.

In the same way that it happens with the vegetation, the prairie does not present a great variety of fauna, perhaps much more present in other ecosystems such as the jungle. Some of the typical animals of it are various types of birds (from small to large such as the rhea), a large number of rodents (which live in burrows basically due to the scarce protection from predators that allows low vegetation), armadillos, foxes and others that are specific to some areas of the planet such as northern bison, coyotes, or Asian antelopes.

The prairie is perhaps one of the most appropriate ecosystems and geographic spaces for man and that is why that a large part of them are the headquarters of farms and other productive units that are based on the presence of livestock.
