populations. An exception to this are the heaths in the north of Munich, which have been mowed regularly for decades, but which used to be grazed. In regions with an already strong decline in populations and only small-scale habitats, it is necessary to enlarge the remaining poor grassland through clearing, clearing, etc. with subsequent grazing.

agg. are, with the exception of the high altitudes of the Alps, dependent on larger and regularly grazed grasslands. The central element for the preservation and promotion of the species complex is therefore the maintenance or reintroduction of herding sheep farming as well as extensive cattle

agg. is another potential food plant that was found to be used in Saxony and potentially in Bavaria in sand and silicate grasslands. Other cinquefoil species found on dry, poor grassland must also be considered potential host plants.
