These include forest edges, former wet meadows and edges of water bodies. These locations are characterised by nitrogen-rich soils and lush vegetation dominated by tall, perennial, herbaceous plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summer, the plants flourish in great variety, making the meadows particularly flower-rich habitats. The flora can vary greatly depending on the site, but the common feature is the lush, multi-coloured flowerage. Due to natural succession, the gradual change in vegetation, tall herbaceous meadows are oft en overgrown by trees and subsequently become forest. Thus, tall herbaceous meadows represent a short-lived transitional state in nature that offers a fascinating insight into the dynamics of landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/lehrpfad.umwelt-campus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/228_2_eng.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:29% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/lehrpfad.umwelt-campus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/228_1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-859 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lehrpfad.umwelt-campus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/228_1.webp 400w, https:\/\/lehrpfad.umwelt-campus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/228_1-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/lehrpfad.umwelt-campus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/228_1-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Whinchat<\/strong><br>Bird species such as whinchat, common reed bunting and marsh warbler lay their nests in tall herbaceous margins and catch insects there to raise their young.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:29% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/lehrpfad.umwelt-campus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/228_2.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-861 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lehrpfad.umwelt-campus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/228_2.webp 400w, https:\/\/lehrpfad.umwelt-campus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/228_2-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/lehrpfad.umwelt-campus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/228_2-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Violet copper<\/strong><br>Butterflies seek out the flower-rich tall perennials for nectar.
