The primary aim of the research project is to develop a management concept that complies with EU law in the Natura 2000 area “Meadow area in the Mühlviertel” with “dynamic” management of the FFH habitat types mountain hay meadows (6520), smooth oat meadows (6510) and bristly grass meadows (6230). The management concept developed is intended to serve as a model for other Natura 2000 areas.
