title: Faunistischer Vergleich von Intensiv- und Extensivweiden
subject:  Biodiversität und Umweltleistungen
description: Definition of the problem:  In Switzerland, we can state a trend that farmer convert meadows more and more to pastures.  What could be the consequences for biodiversity?    Project aims:  Find out in what way biodiversity differs in newly established low-input pastures from high-input pastures.  Analysis of the succession within the first six years.    Methodology:  Analysis of indicator groups in paired pastures – low-input and high input pasture – using pit-fall traps.  Low-input pastures were newly established with different elements (trees, bushes and structural elements)    Results, conclusion, state of the art:  Communities found in low-input meadows were developing differently than in high-input meadows and were more rich in species.
