Abstract
In the valley of the river Eider (Schleswig-Holstein, northern Germany) a conservation management project was established in 1999. A large-scale grazing system has been set up and measures to rewet the area have been implemented.
The effects of conservation management are analysed, focussing on the structure and dynamics of biocoenoses and on water and nutrient balances. Moreover, the costs and benefits of the nature conservation project are investigated in economic terms.
