How to use "Moor" in context?
Moorland is an area of countryside that is dominated by land that is below the lower limits of the wetter regions of an upland biome. Moors are often grazed by cows, sheep, or goats, and their characteristic tall salt and bracken-covered grassy vegetation is burnt off in the summer to create pasture for the livestock. In areas where moorland meets forests, such as the Yorkshire Dales, there are examples of habitats that are both upland and lowland.
