Occurrence of species such as buckwheat, yellow poppy, maidenhair fern, cat's foot. Abundant occurrence of meadow fungi. Natural value Pastures are an endangered and declining biotope nationally. Pastures, and especially natural pastures, contribute greatly to biodiversity. A pasture is often rich in vascular plants and creates good habitats for various pollinating insects, for example. Other species, such as birds and bats, also benefit from pastures. Management Pastures are dependent on continuous management in order not to lose their value. The main threat to the biotope is overgrowth. Pastures are disadvantaged by the impact of fertilizers.
