Navigating Wildflower Meadows in Changing Climates

 

Wildflower meadows are just that, wild, ever changing and full of surprises.

As grassland habitats, meadows are significantly influenced by weather and climate which can make them unpredictable. These factors can dictate species flowering periods, affect seed production and much more.

However, understanding this relationship can help inform us on how to sustain and manage our wildflower meadows in the face of climate change and appreciate these natural landscapes even more!
