Coastal Meadow
Coastal meadows are Meadow, meadows in the coastal zone, influenced by the sea. Under this definition, the salinity of the air and wind is usually high and the flora is dominated by salt-tolerant species. Some coastal meadows may be flooded by seawater occasionally, increasing the demands on the flora even further. These conditions however, do not make a meadow. To be categorized as a meadow in the first place, the plantgrowth has to be low in height, and normally this can only be achieved from wear by general traffic or grazing of the landscape (artificially or by livestock). Coastal meadows are therefore usually thought of as cultural landscapes or biotopes, requiring some degree of intervention and not being able to sustain themselves on their own. If left alone, coastal meadows would often transform into a Meadow, transitional meadow and eventually a shrubby or bushy seashore habitat. Depending on the geology, climate and local conditions, coastal meadows can take on differen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
