During the last 25 years large changes were carried out in the mood of these grassland management, they are endangered by degradation and retreat, resp. extinction. Permanent monitoring plots were established, covering all endangered meadow communities and 75% of grassland and wetland plant species, known from the Slovak part of the Biosphere Reserve. Species composition and abundance in relation with mood of management is recorded each year. The aim of present project is to find effective mechanisms of conservation, resp. restitution the species composition of garsslands in this region.
