  • 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

Eutrophierung


Keine Düngung
Pufferzonen einrichten
Absprachen über Pflegemassnahmen mit dem Eigentümer, dem Bewirtschafter und der Gemeinde

Beweidung, Konkurrenz


Beweidung einstellen
allfällige, wieder auftauchende Exemplare durch kleinflächige Gitterabzäunung schützen
im Herbst mähen
Streue entfernen

Freizeitaktivitäten, Fotografen (Tritt)


Einzäunung der Fundstelle
Besucherlenkung durch Informationstafeln
Schutz der Jungpflanzen

Entwässerung


Keine Entwässerung

Kleine isolierte Population (Datendefizit)


Letzte Fundstelle regelmässig absuchen
Wiederansiedlungen sind problematisch
falls noch Exemplare vorhanden wären, ist jedoch Ex situ-Kultur zu veranlassen
Erfolgskontrolle der Massnahmen gewährleisten
