Typical examples are embankments, gravel areas, stone runs, former railway lines and industrial wasteland. The often poor raw soils offer varied vegetation conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ruderal areas are also often home to migrated species, so-called neophytes. Plants on these areas are characterised by high seed production, which enables rapid colonisation. As in many natural habitats, the development of the plant community on ruderal areas also follows a natural sequence (succession). Initially, pioneer plants, oft en annual species, colonise the area and complete their life cycle within a year. Over time, more and more plant species colonise<br>the area, often suppressing the first ones. Due to soil improvement, e.g. humus build-up, such areas develop over time into flower meadows, shrub and herbaceous areas and finally into woodland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ruderal areas thus provide valuable habitats and feeding grounds for insects, birds and reptiles and thus form varied biodiversity sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/lehrpfad.umwelt-campus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/231_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\/09\/231_1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-998 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lehrpfad.umwelt-campus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/231_1.webp 400w, https:\/\/lehrpfad.umwelt-campus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/231_1-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/lehrpfad.umwelt-campus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/231_1-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Purslane<\/strong><br>Purslane belongs to the short-lived ruderal vegetation.
