The key meadow=* has been used with the tag landuse=meadow to indicate the kind of meadow.
Meadows in certain climates would become scrub or woodland if left alone. Meadows can be quickly colonised by woody plants that will shade out meadow species.
Tagging
Draw a way around the area of the meadow, and tag landuse=meadow + meadow=*.
