Field guide 'Developing herb-rich grassland' - Wim Schippers

A species-rich grassland is essential for biodiversity, horse welfare, horse health, insects and meadow birds. This clear field guide provides practical tools for the development of a species-rich grassland and shows how you can transform a species-poor grassland into a beautiful biodiverse natural meadow.

With this field guide you will learn to recognize the initial situation of the grassland and the development phases. Based on, among other things, the soil type, soil quality and moisture condition, this field guide will help you to get started with the development of a well-fitting filling of a beautiful herb-rich grassland for your situation.

In addition to a step-by-step plan and clear diagrams, this field guide contains many photographs of grassland types and characteristic plant species (guide species).

This field guide also provides clear information about the agricultural application of herb-rich grassland (for example, energy value and protein value in different growth stages), meadow birds and sowing methods.

This unique clear field guide is a must for all horse owners! Both for horse owners with their own pasture and those who would like to learn more about biodiversity in a pasture and then indirectly start a conversation about a more nature-inclusive way of pasture management.

Note from PaardEerlijk: Where this field guide refers to the use of artificial fertilizers, we recommend replacing this with compost or, alternatively, animal manure.
