Unimproved Grassland
Unimproved Grassland
A colourful meadow is depicted in this image. Herb rich grasslands such as this are a rare sight in Ireland today. Such areas have a high species richness, with common herbs such as buttercups (yellow in the image) and clover (pink and white in the image) occurring alongside grasses such as the creeping bent (Agrostis spp.) the meadow grass (Poa spp.) sweet vernal grass (Anthoxanthum ordinatum) and Festucas (Festuca spp.). This diversity exists as a result of low intensity agriculture meaning that management is at a minimum. The grass is grazed or mown once or twice a year and very little fertiliser is added. Most grasslands in Ireland are managed to some degree, that is they are grazed or mown. Without this, they would revert to scrub and eventually forest.
