Spanish term or phrase: prados mesofíticos de siega y diente
Here is the context:

La vocación ganadera de los territorios propios del hayedos acidófilo atlántico conduce a la aparición, en múltiples enclaves del ámbito de estudio de **prados mesofíticos de siega y diente** de la Alianza Cynosurion cristati, caracterizados por la presencia de especies como Bellis perennis, Cynosurus cristatus, Leontodon autumnalis, Phleum pratense subsp.

mesofíticos = mesophytic and I believe "prado de diente" would be daisy field, but siega?
Thanks in advance.

  -> Thanks Phil. I thought of mesophytic grasslands comprised of meadows and (fertilized) pastures .. perhaps a bit wordy .. perhaps others can provide a more concise version.
