Tanım: A habitat of rolling or flat terrain where grasses predominate. Typically, what is called a meadow has more biodiversity than a grassland as the former contains not only grasses but a significant variety of annual, biennial and perennial plants.
Tanım: An area of land of low topographic relief that historically supported grasses and herbs, with few trees, and having generally a mesic (moderate or temperate) climate. Dominated by tall grasses (contrast steppe).
Tanım: The first post-fertilization life stage of many organisms. The developing organism is enclosed by a membrane and possibly a hard shell and is not yet motile. Followed by hatching and either larval or other juvenile life stages.
