1 Natura 2000 objectives 2 EU Directives as the basis of the European Nature Conservation Policy 1 Bird Conservation Directives [1979] 2 FFH = Fauna Flora Habitat [1992] OBJECTIVES : European wide net of specified nature conservation areas Natura 2000

2 Natura 2000 objectives 1 Bird protecting directives River kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) Black woodpecker (Dryocopus martius)

3 Natura 2000 objectives 2 FFH Fauna Flora Habitat Greater mouse eared bat(myotis myotis) Alluvial forest with black alder and ash (91E0) FAUNA HABITAT

4 Area description European conservation area: extends in west east direction from Spielfeld to Bad Radkersburg Area rd ha, Altitude of m

5 Area discription 15 municipalities in 2 political districts have a part of the european protecting area:

6 Objectives of the management plan determine the status of conservation subjects direct the positive development of Natura2000 area a frame for basic planning for stakeholders (nature conservation, agriculture and forestry, regional planing, ressource planing etc.) Periodical screening and adaptation (Monitoring)

7 Structure management plan basic data & research analysis Definition of goals of development concept of measure

8 mearures concepts Groups of measures flowing waters forestry measures agricultural measures species conservation visitor management

9 Measures concerning flowing waters The river Mur in 1780

10 Mur regulation from 1870 till 1890

11 Loss of structure of the river Mur missing spawn habitate and places to rest fish biomass kg/km actual kg/km historical restriction of 1/5 -> deepening of the riverbed level about > 2m -> sinking of the groundwater level

12 Measures concerning flowing waters Example: widening widening Gosdorf (Fotomontage)

13 Measures concerning flowing waters Example: subjects of conservation Gelbbauchunke (Bombina variegata) Alpen-Kammmolch (Triturus carnifex) Huchen (Hucho hucho)

14 Forestry measures Example: subjects of conservation Alluvial forest with black alder and ash (91E0*)

15 Forestry measures Developing high-value alluvial forest habitat utilisation abandonment extensiv forest management succession on the widenings Creation of subnatural forest borders extensivation (buffer band) new plantation afforestation

16 Habitat dead wood 7 woodpeckers

17 Oak project Creation of oak regeneration cells as habitat conservation for middle spotted woodpecker Middle spotted wp (Dendrocopos medius) FFH annex I species Code 238 state B Breeding bird mapping M.Wirtitsch, M. Tiefenbach Middle spotted woodpecker >> 200 breeding districts >> 80% of Styrian appearence

18 Oak measures Europaschutzgebiet Nr. 15 Middle spotted woodpecker needs: Trees with rough chapped bark or high structured dead wood Nutrition of diferent arthropodes and their stages of development (vine louse, ant species) Benefit of the oak project : Compensation of the loss of natural regeneration Stabilisation of the habitat type 91FO (hardwood alluvial forest with common oak) Important habitat for insects, birds, and bats Stag beetle (Lucanus cervus) benefits from it Percentage of the oaks is currently estimated between 3 8% Increase of the forest conservation awarenes

19 Oak project Europaschutzgebiet Nr Oak cells

20 Oak project Europaschutzgebiet Nr. 15 Calculation for one regeneration cell (total project ) single price number total amount young plants incl. delivery 1, ,00 preparation and planting 45, ,00 trunk protection cover 1, ,00 wood stake 0, ,20 fix cover, stake 8,00 1 8,00 support, 1 year paid (ca. 3 times a year) * 45, ,00 Total inkl. Ust. for one regeneration cell 171,20

21 Oak project Europaschutzgebiet Nr. 15

22 Forestry measures Neophyte project To restrict the neophyt expansion in important alluvial forest areas Invasive species (neophytes): Himalayan balsam (Impatiens glandulifera) Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) American pokeweed (Phytolaca americana) Goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) Giant hogweed (Heracleum mantegizanum) Robinia/ black locust(robinia pseudoacacia) Ailanthus (Ailanthus altisima)

23 Neophyte project The team Impatiens glandulifera Himalayan balsam

24 Neophyte project Kermesbeere (Phytolaca am.) Fallopia position along Drauchenbach

25 Neophyte project Riesenbärenklau (Heracleum mantegizanum) Goldrute (Solidago canadensis)

26 Neophyte project Ailanthus (Ailanthus altissima) - we test to curl older trees

27 Neophyte project Robinia spread in the grassland and Himalayan balsam overgrow river dam

28 Neophyte project

29 Neophyte project Mur river dam

30 Neophyte project widening of Trummerlahn
