Transplantation of a Molinietum Caeruleae Meadow in Lower Saxony (Germany) B
Transplantation of a Molinietum caeruleae meadow in Lower Saxony (Germany) B. Gehle1, H. Harder1, D. Zacharias1 0 25 50 100 Introduction Meter The Molinietum caeruleae meadow recently is considered as a rare and valuable habitat according to the Europeans Habitats Directive. It contains a high number of endangered and target species ( e.g. Betonica officinalis (Fig. 4), Galium boreale, Inula salicina, Selinum carvifolia, Silaum silaus, Serratula tinctoria (Fig. 5)) and it is classified as a phytocoenosis that is likely to become extinct in Germany2. The construction of the highway A 39 in the year of 2006 in the county of Wolfenbüttel (Lower Saxony, Germany) separated a Molinietum meadow of approx. 3 ha in two parts (Fig. 1). To protect the meadow a compensation measure was created. About 1 ha of valuable grassland situated directly within the planned highway lane was transplanted in 2006 (sods of approx. 1,5 m2 together with 30 cm layer of the underlying soil) to a nearby former farmland adjacent to one of the meadow remnants next to the new roadway. The substrate of the meadow consists of a seasonally wet Pelsosol which consists of an alkaline Jurassic clay soil. Additionally, on a second target area of former farmland semi-natural grassland was restored by transferring of diaspore-containing hay from the Fig. 1: Compensation measure area Molinietum meadow. A monitoring program has been carried out annually since 2005 by the University of Applied Science in Bremen in order to document and evaluate the success and the effectiveness of the compensation measure, focussing on the following questions: 1.Does the Molinietum meadow remain as a habitat with its target species after transplantation? 2.Is the population size of target species constant? 3.Does hay disposal help to introduce a new Molinietum meadow? Material and Methods Transplanted meadow The effected meadow was separated in different parts for a monitoring program. -

The boundaries of this landscape type are defined by the extent of the virtually continuous drift deposit of clay with flints that caps the chalk. Integrated Key Characteristics: • Chalk overlain by shallow continuous clay capping resulting in poorer heavier soils. • Large tracts of elevated gently undulating countryside. • A predominantly pastoral farmland landscape with significant blocks of woodland.
