Zehn Jahre Monitoring an der Wattenheimer Brücke (Lorsch, Kreis Bergstraße)

Ergebnisse und Trends

This unique monitoring study, which has been ongoing for a whole decade, focuses on a cattle grazing project in Lorsch in southern Hesse and provides deep insights into changes in biodiversity. Individual studies cover botany as well as ground beetles, avifauna, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, spiders, ants, butterflies, bugs, and fish diversity in the adjacent Weschnitz river. The work impressively demonstrates the influence of large herbivores and the changes in species diversity caused by climate change.
