As part of the university studies I had to create a portfolio on the head pasture. So I read into the subject and must say that I underestimated the pasture.
alone, the shapes of the willow has a size variance of a few inches of a so-called ground cover, up to 30 m high trees. Their Spread ranges from sandy dunes of the temperate zone to the alpine area.
The pasture was provided in previous centuries, a crop, the flexible timber has to weave baskets and fences to be able to build. To obtain these flexible rods, the trees were pruned regularly at various intervals between 1-5 years and always been the top shoots cut off. The tree has responded to this mechanical manipulation with the fact that he has formed at the interface of a thickened, hence the name Kopfweide.
Unfortunately, the use of this wood in the last decades, declined sharply. Since pastures much biological material supply through its strong growth experienced for the alternative energy through biogas plants again a small renaissance.
By periodically repeated wounds at the heads, there is some susceptibility to stem rot pathogens. In the niches and crevices to collect water, leaves and pieces of branch, this is for other plant pathogens and rot a feeding frenzy. Therefore, the biodegradation proceeds within the Splintholzzone preceded by putrefaction, so that the trunk at the age of only a tube-like sheath of bark and sapwood is, which is renewed annually to the outside.
This change provides the root of a head of a pasture Variety of plants, birds, mammals and insects, a new habitat. This is for example, the little owl, kestrel, Meis species, bats, weasels, and a variety of insects that can eat the dead wood of the head pasture fed. This again is a fully set table for woodpecker species not miss this offer.
, the head of pasture are being rediscovered for sustainable development. Not only as an alternative energy supplier, but also as a haven for insects, birds and mammals. A head for pastures can form a small ecological cycle that represents to many endangered animal and bird species a refuge.
