A central approach is the planned reconnection of old watercourses to the main river. The typical floodplain habitats are to be preserved and improved through the desilting of old watercourses and the creation of new small bodies of water.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"Normal tm5\"><strong><span class=\"tm7\">Partner:\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><span class=\"tm7\">Heinz-Sielmann-Stiftung, Federal Agency for Nature Conservation, State of Saxony-Anhalt, Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, chance.natur<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f721ba2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"f721ba2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;columns&quot;:3,&quot;overlay_title&quot;:&quot;description&quot;,&quot;overlay_description&quot;:&quot;description&quot;,&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;3:2&quot;,&quot;overlay_background&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"\u00a9 Mirko Pannach\" class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/flusslandschaft-elbe.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/NSG_Alte_Elbe_Boesewig_Gaense_Mirko_Pannach_klein.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"f721ba2\" data-elementor-lightbox-description=\"Graug\u00e4nse im Naturschutzgebiet &quot;Alte Elbe&quot; bei B\u00f6sewig\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzQ0MiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2ZsdXNzbGFuZHNjaGFmdC1lbGJlLmRlXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC9OU0dfQWx0ZV9FbGJlX0JvZXNld2lnX0dhZW5zZV9NaXJrb19QYW5uYWNoX2tsZWluLmpwZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6ImY3MjFiYTIifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/flusslandschaft-elbe.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/NSG_Alte_Elbe_Boesewig_Gaense_Mirko_Pannach_klein-512x342.jpg\" data-width=\"512\" data-height=\"342\" aria-label=\"A flock of greylag geese takes flight over the floodplain waters of the Alte Elbe near B\u00f6sewig.\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"\u00a9 Andrea Winger\" class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/flusslandschaft-elbe.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/NSG_Mittelelbe_Schwarze_Elster_bei-Kloede_Andrea_Winger_klein.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"f721ba2\" data-elementor-lightbox-description=\"Naturschutzgebiet &quot;Mittelelbe Schwarze Elster&quot; bei Kl\u00f6den\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzQ0MSwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2ZsdXNzbGFuZHNjaGFmdC1lbGJlLmRlXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC9OU0dfTWl0dGVsZWxiZV9TY2h3YXJ6ZV9FbHN0ZXJfYmVpLUtsb2VkZV9BbmRyZWFfV2luZ2VyX2tsZWluLmpwZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6ImY3MjFiYTIifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/flusslandschaft-elbe.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/NSG_Mittelelbe_Schwarze_Elster_bei-Kloede_Andrea_Winger_klein-512x384.jpg\" data-width=\"512\" data-height=\"384\" aria-label=\"View of the floodplain meadows in the &quot;Mittelelbe Schwarze Elster&quot; nature reserve.

The ecological damage caused by intensive use is gradually being repaired through networked measures. In future, maintenance of the Havel riverbed will be limited to a much narrower channel, outside of which river structures such as sandbanks and pools can form.

The Elbe River Landscape Biosphere Reserve therefore has a special responsibility to protect the near-natural floodplain landscapes, including the floodplain forests. Along the Elbe, around 80 % of all floodplains have been interrupted or destroyed by the construction of dykes. As the Elbe could no longer flood in these areas, valuable habitats were lost. The restriction of the river also increased the risk of uncontrolled flooding. The aim of the project was therefore to create a continuous network of genuine floodplain forests.<\/p><p><strong>Solution: <\/strong>In order to create a continuous floodplain, a new 7.3 km long dyke was built between the mouth of the Mulde and the Saale. The old dyke was slit, i.e. made permeable. This made it possible to create floodplain space - and with it a recent floodplain landscape.\u00a0<span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align); font-size: 1.125rem; font-weight: var(--bs-body-font-weight);\">&#8211;\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1.125rem; text-align: var(--text-align); font-weight: var(--bs-body-font-weight);\">will be created. This measure is currently the largest dyke relocation in Germany. In the event of flooding, the Elbe will have 600 hectares more flooding area at its disposal. The floodplain habitats are legally protected by the \"Middle Elbe between Mulde and Saale\" nature reserve.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Partner:<\/strong> WWF-Germany, Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, represented by the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation, Ministry of Agriculture and Environment of Saxony-Anhalt; funded by the federal program chance.natur<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7df26c9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"7df26c9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;columns&quot;:3,&quot;overlay_title&quot;:&quot;description&quot;,&quot;overlay_description&quot;:&quot;description&quot;,&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;3:2&quot;,&quot;overlay_background&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"\u00a9 Mirko Pannach\" class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/flusslandschaft-elbe.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Niedrigwasser_Hungersteine_bei_Loedderitz_Mirko_Pannach.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"7df26c9\" data-elementor-lightbox-description=\"Niedrigwasser an den Hungersteinen bei L\u00f6dderitz\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzQ0NSwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2ZsdXNzbGFuZHNjaGFmdC1lbGJlLmRlXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC9OaWVkcmlnd2Fzc2VyX0h1bmdlcnN0ZWluZV9iZWlfTG9lZGRlcml0el9NaXJrb19QYW5uYWNoLmpwZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6IjdkZjI2YzkifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/flusslandschaft-elbe.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Niedrigwasser_Hungersteine_bei_Loedderitz_Mirko_Pannach-512x384.jpg\" data-width=\"512\" data-height=\"384\" aria-label=\"Sand bank on the Elbe near L\u00f6dderitz with vegetation and stones.

Heck cattle and Konik horses now ensure that the landscape remains semi-open, i.e. free of woodland, and that the structural diversity of the herb layer is increased through grazing.

This also affects the fire-bellied toad. In the biosphere reserve \"Nieders\u00e4chsische Elbtalaue\" it reaches the north-western edge of its Eurasian range and is \"threatened with extinction\". More than 98 % of the population in Lower Saxony lives in the biosphere reserve. However, as in the parts of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Brandenburg, the population here has also declined sharply in recent years. The aim of the project entitled \"301 ponds in Lower Saxony\" is to improve and develop the habitats not only for the fire-bellied toad, but also for the rare tree frog and the crested newt in eleven project areas in central and eastern Lower Saxony.<\/p><p><strong>Solution: <\/strong>Based on a management plan, numerous measures were implemented to improve the habitat of the fire-bellied toad, such as the creation and restoration of 130 small bodies of water, the construction of 14 km of fencing and the extensive grazing of around 90 hectares of land in Lower Saxony. The project was also extended to areas in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Brandenburg. The genetics of the fire-bellied toad populations in Lower Saxony were also investigated as a basis for population management measures. Against this background, around 20,000 fire-bellied toads were bred for reintroduction into restored habitats.

On the basis of two-dimensional runoff modeling, bottlenecks and other obstacles, especially wooded areas, that could impede flood runoff in the floodplain were identified. In order to improve flood runoff at these bottlenecks, some woody plants were cut back for the first time in 2014\/15 and then left to their own devices. Over the course of a few years, dense bushes with a potentially higher flood resistance than before their removal developed. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"aEinf_Abs__\"><strong><span class=\"tm6\">Solution: <\/span><\/strong><span class=\"tm6\">To solve the problem, cooperation structures (\"floodplain management associations\") were established in the four sub-regions of the biosphere reserve to network the institutions involved in the maintenance, management and development of the Elbe floodplains. They are made up of representatives from flood protection and nature conservation, agriculture and regional development. In particular, these networks also looked for approaches to dealing with the willow stands that had developed as a result of the pruning in 2014\/15. The focus was on how these areas could be kept free of woody plants in the future. To this end, they were either mechanically maintained over several years or grazed with various animal species (cattle, sheep, goats, horses). Grazing proved to be particularly environmentally friendly compared to machine maintenance. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"aEinf_Abs__\"><span class=\"tm6\">The results of the project are an important contribution to the medium-term development of near-natural floodplain management, which combines forward-looking flood protection with the sustainable protection and use of valuable grassland and alluvial forest areas. The established floodplain management associations have proven to be a sensible approach for integrating key players in comprehensive floodplain management.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"aEinf_Abs__\"><strong><span class=\"tm6\">Partner: <\/span><\/strong><span class=\"tm6\">Lower Saxony Elbe floodplain biosphere administration, Lower Saxony Chamber of Agriculture - Uelzen district office, farmers' association of north-eastern Lower Saxony.

Other measures include the suppression of invasive species such as cactus moss and the implementation of grazing concepts to keep the inland dunes open. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"aEinf_Abs__\"><span class=\"tm6\"><strong>Partner:<\/strong> Forestry authority, landowner, F\u00f6rderverein Biosph\u00e4re Elbe MV e.V. and Schaalsee-Elbe Biosphere Reserve Office<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba6af7e elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"ba6af7e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;columns&quot;:3,&quot;overlay_title&quot;:&quot;description&quot;,&quot;overlay_description&quot;:&quot;description&quot;,&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;3:2&quot;,&quot;overlay_background&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"\u00a9 A.
