- Grassland improvement
The non-plowing method of grassland renewal closes gaps in the vegetation cover and creates high-performing, productive stands with a strong grass hierarchy and a sufficient proportion of nitrogen-fixing legumes. Recultivation with site-appropriate grasses and herbs quickly ensures a stable and erosion-reducing vegetation cover, even in challenging locations.
Greening of special sites
Besides commercial and extensive grassland, grassland communities can also be newly established in landscaping projects or on special sites. The Department of Vegetation Management in the Alpine Region is researching mixture compositions...
Site-appropriate greening in high altitudes
Over the past twenty-five years, the technology for revegetation at high altitudes in the Austrian Alps has developed rapidly. The excavator has replaced the bulldozer, and the preservation and reuse of existing...
Recultivation of alpine pastures
When greening pastureland at mid-altitudes (e.g., in the context of ski slope construction, alpine pasture revitalization, and forest grazing separation procedures), problems repeatedly arise that impair the success of the measures taken....
Grassland damage and weed control
Grassland damage and yield depressions can be caused by a wide variety of factors. Besides suboptimal management practices, climatic factors such as droughts or animal pests can also contribute...
