Project duration: March 1, 2025 – March 31, 2027
On wind-exposed areas, evaporation losses can be reduced by planting hedgerows. Hedgerows lower wind speed, resulting in less soil evaporation and consequently increased soil moisture.
The primary goals of the research project are:
- Survey and analysis of the species composition of the hedgerow vegetation
- Evaluation of the importance of hedges for biodiversity and evaporation protection in grassland
Maintaining and planting new hedges in permanent grassland may be an effective measure against climate change and biodiversity loss in the cultural landscape.
