Wpływ metody renowacji łąk śródleśnych na atrakcyjność pokarmową dla Cervus elaphus

Renovated mid-forest meadows are areas, which can reduce negative impact of growing population of red deer (Cervus elaphus) on forest and arable crops. Studies on ethology of red deer free-living population on revitalised mid-forest meadows was conducted on two experimental sites, where effect of different renovation methods – full tillage, including sowing of three types of seed mixtures (M1 – Blühende Wildäsung, M2 – Weidgreen Hochwildweide, M3 – author’s mixture), overdrilling and control objects (without renovation) were investigated. Evaluation of midforest renovation success was based on assessment of yielding and red deer sward intake. Results shows that both yielding and sward intake was higher on areas renovated by full tillage method than on overdrilled and control objects.
