The Karlstadt position paper for the preservation of arable field plants

Summary
The complete article is written in German
“Protect Scandix, Legousia, Arnoseris and their relatives!” This is the basic message of the position paper, which tries to draw attention to the situation of endangered arable field plants in Germany. Intensive agriculture and the fusion of small fields on the one hand, but also abandonment and afforesting on the other endanger the last sites of colourful arable field species. Neither standard tools of nature conservation (i.e. nature protection areas) nor the European system of Natura 2000 regions do improve the situation. New solutions have to be found to preserve and to develop diverse rural landscapes with their typical arable field flora and fauna. The position paper points out possibilities of protection and makes claims on citizens, experts and politicians. In the appendix the scientific background is shown.
The Karlstadt position paper was written after the conference for the preservation of arable field plants in Karlstadt/Main at 25./26.6.2004 which had been initiated by Dr Franz-G. Dunkel (Karlstadt). After discussions during the conference the position paper was elaborated by Dr Thomas van Elsen and the authors mentioned above.
