mountain pasture
Elevated grazing land
A mountain pasture is grazing land at high elevation, typically above the tree line or on alpine slopes where livestock are brought during summer months.
The practice of moving animals seasonally to mountain pastures is called transhumance: The shepherd led his flock to the mountain pasture in June.
These areas feature hardy grasses and wildflowers that thrive in cooler temperatures and shorter growing seasons.
