Geology / landscape description
French term or phrase: pelouse primaire
Context: "Deux types de pelouses coexistent dans ce milieu. La **pelouse primaire** s’étend sur de petites stations et des affleurements rocheux peu marqués. La pelouse secondaire est issue d’une évolution du milieu due à une perturbation souvent engendrée par l’activité humaine." In a description of the geological landscape in the Limousine in France. Is "primary grassland extending over small areas" ok for this? I have found out that "pelouse" is grassland (not just a lawn!). Thanks in advance for any help!
