Removal of shrubs and extensive use of the spring moors and wet meadows between Ruhpolding and Ainring

Moors and litter meadows are endangered mainly from two sides. On the one hand there is the intensification of use in agriculture. A frequent cause is the nutrient input from neighboring areas, which promotes the conversion of vegetation into more nutritious meadow communities or tall herbaceous fields. On the other hand, there is the abandonment of land use, which leads to a lignification of the area. The Landschaftspflegeverband Traunstein maintains these areas by removing woods and mowing the area regularly. In this way the ecosystem functions of moors can be preserved and the flora and fauna can be protected. The measures are part of the project BayernNetzNatur.
