Abstract A meadow is a commutative ring with an inverse operator satisfying 0(-1) = 0. We determine the initial algebra of the meadows of characteristic 0 and prove a normal form theorem for it. As an immediate consequence we obtain the decidability of the closed term problem for meadows and the computability of their initial object.
