Over 60% of Ireland is covered by grassland of one type or another and this does not include areas covered by annual crops, golf courses and lawns. Grasslands are economically important in Ireland as they account for much of our agricultural production and they also provide vital areas for amenity and tourism. In addition to the economically important grassland types there are also several grassland types of conservation value including orchid-rich calcareous Grasslands , coastal machairs, species-rich and neutral Grasslands , and wet Grasslands such the Shannon Callows. Improved grassland Improved grassland makes up a large proportion of Ireland's productive farmland. This type of grassland is heavily managed to maximise production. It is typically reseeded frequently, heavily fertilised and grazed or cut for silage.
Dry limestone grasslands may comprise a wide range of grasses and wild flowers. Species richness can be as high as 45 species per m2.
