Grassy balds are relatively blunt summits covered by a dense sward of native grasses. Vertebrate grazing also influences "C. brunneus" density by directly influencing sward height. Grazing by rabbits maintains a short sward, which is desirable for the fledglings. The flora of the old orchard sward was dominated by primroses and violets. It forms a dense sward of fine leaves. "Sord" may also refer to a "sward", an 'expanse of grass'. This can lead to the formation of taller ungrazed patches of heavily fertilized sward. Its landscape design offers shady avenues, green sward areas and colourful vistas. When added to seed mixtures, it seldom persists once the sward has closed up. The slopes support a higher sward and this is the area for insect life. Thus, the level of sward height is most optimal when it is medium height. Sward height preferences change depending on the time of year. Leningrad factory "Monumentskulptura" cast bronze reliefs, sward and wreaths. This is done to enhance the species rich sward.
