Environment & Ecology / Alpine Agriculture | | German term or phrase: Bergfettwiesen | | This is from a list of particular flora and fauna found in the Alps. I have googled the term, but have found no explanation as to what kind of a meadow this actually is. It must be moist to some extent, but not marshy, no? Any help would be greatly appreciated! |
| | | fertilized (alpine) meadow | Explanation:
I take this direct from Evert Lexikon Landschafts- und Stadtplanung (which is really excellent)
Fettwiese: Meist intensiv genutztes, gedüngtes ein- oder mehrschüriges Wiensengrünland ... auf meist frischen bis feuchten und fruchtbaren Böden mit einer ganzjährigen guten Wasserversorgung; syn. Mähwiese, Schnittwiese.
fertilized meadow; Mostly intensively-used agricultural land, mown once or more per year on slightly moist to moist soils; syn. fertilized hay field. |
