Natural ecosystem dominated by indigenous or naturally occurring grasses and other herbaceous species used mainly for grazing by livestock and wildlife.

Acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2, and therefore consisting entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms. (https://iupac.qmul.ac.uk/class/hydro.html)
Land on which vegetation is composed of perennial or self-seeding annual forage species which may persist indefinitely. It may include either naturalized or cultivated forages.

Plant genetic resources – the diversity of traditional and modern crop species and varieties as well as crop wild relatives and other wild plant species that sustain agriculture and food systems, and the genetic material contained in them – are a key component of agrobiodiversity.
