Ferrantia 66 Die Graslandgesellschaften Luxemburgs

S. Schneider Die Graslandgesellschaften Luxemburgs
The Polygalo-Nardetum, the Geranio sylvatici-
Trisetetum, the Festuca rubra-Agrostis capillariscommunity
and the Carex rostrata-community can
thus only be found in the north. The Filipendula
ulmaria-community, the Scirpus sylvaticuscommunity
and the Bistorta officinalis-community
are characteristic for fallow brook valleys in the
Ösling. The sharp-flower rush-meadow (Crepido-
Juncetum acutiflori) is one of the most frequent wet
meadow associations in the Ösling.
The Calthion-alliance-community, the Bromo-
Senecionetum aquatici and the Carex distichacommunity
are widely spread in the Gutland.
Flood-lawn-communities (above all the Ranunculo-
Alopecuretum geniculati), the Caricetum nigrae
and Large Sedge fens like Caricetum gracilis and
Carex acutiformis-community are interlocked with
Calthion meadows on a small scale. The Angelico-
Cirsietum oleracei is one of the rarest Calthionassociations
of Luxembourg. The Dry Brome
swards (Bromion-alliance-community) as well as
the Salvia-False Oatgrass meadows are limited
on the milder climate and the base-rich shelly
limestone and marly Keuper soils in the eastern
and central part of the country.
The influence of subatlantic climate on the study
area shows in the species composition of specific
plant communities as well as in their frequency or
rarity.
Grassland habitats worthy of protection in Europe
are also rare and endangered in Luxembourg.
These are Matgrass swards, Purple Moorgrass
meadows, Dry Brome swards, Yellow Oatgrass
meadows and species-rich False Oatgrass
meadows. Furthermore the Small Sedge fens,
Large Sedge fens as well as species-rich wet
meadows and their fallow stages are endangered
in Luxembourg. Some grassland communities are
only found well developed in protected areas. The
nature conservation evaluation covers generally
valid land use recommendations, which are meant
to contribute to the preservation of these increasingly
rare grassland communities and their flora.
The present monograph on grassland vegetation
is meant to serve as a basis for nature conservation
planning.
