Assignment text
The purpose of the monitoring is to find out how large an area we have of semi-natural meadows in Norway, and to calculate the ecological condition of semi-natural meadows. In the long-term, the methodology will also provide a basis for assessing whether the area of semi-natural meadows is undergoing change. The monitoring is done in stages: 1) Interpretation of previous and new aerial photos, as well as map analysis in order to identify potential semi-natural meadows sought in the field. 2) 2) The semi-natural meadows are defined, and variables and species are registered in the field. This notice only applies to the monitoring work that will be carried out in 2022-2025.
