Grasslands dominated by unsown wild-plant communities ("unimproved grasslands") can be called either natural or "semi-natural" habitat. Although their plant communities are natural, their maintenance depends upon anthropogenic activities such as grazing and cutting regimes. The semi-natural grasslands contain many species of wild plants, including grasses, sedges, rushes, and herbs; 25 plant-species per 100 square centimeters can be found. A European record that was found on a meadow in Estonia described 76 species of plants in one square meter.

Reflecting colonial society's emphasis on righteousness and morality, the Sovereign Council mandated that every tavern- keeper provide sufficient proof of his virtuous character in order to obtain a business licence. Attempts to improve public infrastructure were met with limited success. Early ventures in constructing roads proved especially futile given the necessity and the prevalence of rivers as a means of transportation.

In September 2018 Hendel published a book titled Frank Conversations about Israeli Hope, in which he transcribed a series of one-on-one discussions he held with President Reuven Rivlin about the challenges facing Israel.

After a period of virtual bankruptcy in the late 17th century, when the weak government of Charles II was detrimental to the Mesta, a recovery under the first two Bourbon monarchs reversed this trend, particularly after the War of the Spanish Succession ended, largely because the government enforced the Mesta’s privileges with greater rigour.Klein pp.342-3 The numbers of transhumant sheep doubled between 1708 and 1780 to reach an historical peak around 1780, assisted by the royal decree of 1748, which confirmed that both summer and winter pastures must remain unploughed and unsown, unless royal permission for ploughing was granted.García Sanz, (1978), p.

This led to the decline in smaller owners being involved in transhumance and the dominance of the Mesta by those with very large flocks, who the money to pay for grazing along migration routes and the political influence to enforce their rights. The towns on route either tried to dissuade or divert transhumant flocks from their territory, or to extract as much as they could by leasing their pastures for flocks on their way to and from the south.Marín Barriguete (1992), pp 134-5 Although, in theory, the Mesta’s legal rights were clear and the association had an impressive apparatus to enforce them, these rights were breached when routes of the cañadas were moved away to fertile pastures or restricted to below their legal width, and illegal dues were imposed. Even where the Mesta’s right were restored after lengthy court proceedings, those that had infringed them usually received no financial or other penalty.Marín Barriguete (1992), pp 137-8 Both summer and winter pastures used by transhumant sheep were supposed to remain unploughed and unsown, as was reconfirmed by a royal decree of 1748.
