One of the projects of the program GEF is “The meadow management of the Biosphere Reserve Eastern Carpathians“. It is based on the fact that with a view to conservation of biodiversity and landscape character it is necessary to pay attention also to non-forest vegetation, mainly to meadows and pastures. In this area there are two groups of grass stands – mountain meadows “poloniny“ (above 1000 m above sea level) and the meadows and pastures of lower position. Each of these groups need different management. Permanent monitoring plots have been established where the influence of different moods of management on the species of grass stands are studied.
