Alpine meadow

A grassland is an area where the vegetation is dominated by grasses. Sedges and rushes can also be found along with some legumes such as clover and other herbs. Grasslands occur naturally on all continents except Antarctica and are found in most ecoregions of the Earth.

Furthermore, grasslands are one of the largest biomes on Earth, covering 31–69% of the Earth's land area.
There are different types of grasslands: natural grasslands, semi-natural grasslands, and agricultural grasslands.
