Mountain Meadow Color 614 - #30BA8F

In its most casual use, the term "meadow" is applied to all vegetated, but treeless, portions of an otherwise forested landscape

Often, they occur where soils are too thin and dry to support trees - along ridge tops - or, where soils are permanently saturated - in poorly drained depressions, such as those found on landslide deposits and glacial landforms.

The most effective strategy for conservation and maintenance of meadow habitats is one that targets tree removal during the early stages of encroachment. At later stages, restoration is likely to be hindered by a variety of factors.
