Erfolgskontrollen der Renaturierungsmaßnahmen auf der Brockenkuppe im Nationalpark Harz
Hünig, C.; Tischew S.; Karste, G.: Evaluation of restoration measures on top of the mountain Brocken in the Harz National Park. – Hercynia N.F. 41 (2008): 201-217.Since 1990 great efforts have been done to restore the former military area on top of the mountain Brocken into the Harz National Park. The restoration measures aimed to establish mosaics of the former natural vegetation with subalpine Calluna-heathland and meadow vegetation as well as to support endangered plant species like Pulsatilla alpina subsp. alba. Moreover, effective management to control the increasing dominance of grasses (e.g. Calamagrostis villosa) caused by a tremendous input of atmospheric nitrogen should be developed. Since 1991 small-scale heathland restoration experiments were performed using two different methods (sod cutting in different depths and mowing). In the same year deconstruction of the military infrastructure has been started and experiments with application of different substrates have been executed to counteract effects of the soil sealing. On half of the plots seeding of target species was performed. Important results of the heathland restoration measures were that (1) continuous mowing successfully reduced the dominance of Calamagrostis villosa, (2) only complete removal of the duff supported the rejuvenation of Calluna vulgaris and of other target species as well as it restricted the re-colonization of Calamagrostis villosa, (3) adjacent vegetation strongly influenced the colonization of the areas where sod cutting took place, and (4) re-colonization of these areas was accelerated by seeding of target species. The small-scale experiments after deconstruction of the military infrastructure showed best results after application of granite gravel and seeding target species. However, Calluna vulgaris very slowly developed full-grown individuals in the course of all experiments caused by the unfavourable conditions on top of the mountain Brocken. In 1996 large-scale destruction of the military infrastructure was finished ...
