| Abstract: | Species turnover and mobility on a scale of 25 m2 was studied in a montane meadow, which had been transplanted to a location 200 m away from the initial site in the Harz Mountains.
The transplantation was performed to preserve this grassland area, which otherwise would have been destroyed by a road construction
project.
The frequency of 18 endangered species was recorded annually from 1992 to 1996 in 122 quadrats, having a size of 5 × 5 m and
being arranged in a coherent block with a total area of 3,000 m2. Many species showed considerable dynamics in settling in the quadrats. |
