  • Disclaimer
    InfoFlora compiles information on protected species as accurately as possible, taking it from the respective cantonal laws. In some cases, however, it was not possible to use the plant names as listed in the original text, but an interpretation of their taxonomy or nomenclature was necessary. The exact meaning of the categories „completely protected“ and „partially protected“ differs among the cantons.

    InfoFlora cannot guarantee that the information on the protection status is correct and complete. In case of doubts, we recommend to look up the texts of the respective cantonal law.

Conservation

Threats and measures

Frass (Schnecken, Vieh), Tritt


Bestände einzäunen
Individuen mit Drahtgeflecht schützen

Bautätigkeit (z. B. Waldstrassen nach Sturmschäden), touristische Erschliessung (Wege, Mountainbike-Routen, Rastplätze u. a)


Priorität der Fundstellen vor Bau- und Freizeitvorhaben

Uferverbauungen


Auencharakter der Vegetation erhalten

Konkurrenzpflanzen (z. B. Aegopodium podagraria, Chaerophyllum hirsutum), dichtere Vegetation


Reduktion der unmittelbaren Konkurrenzpflanzen von Hand
auflockern der Vegetation

Bewirtschaftungsänderungen, insbesondere Vergandung, Aufforstungen oder Kahlschläge


Extensive Bewirtschaftung beibehalten (Waldnutzung, extensive Weide), Vegetation darf nicht zu dicht werden

Sammeln


Präzise Fundstellen nur den zuständigen Fachstellen bekanntgeben

Kleine, isolierte Populationen


Schutz aller Populationen (Mikroreservate)
alljährliche Überwachung der aktuellen Fundstellen, periodisches Absuchen der erloschenen Vorkommen
Dauerflächen einrichten
Detailkartierung resp. regelmässiges Monitoring (Methode PopCount)
Erfolgskontrolle der Massnahmen gewährleisten
