Introduc2on
Tradi2onally managed alpine meadows = Biodiversity rich habitat
Since mid 20th century: farmers confronted to a difficult socio-economical context

Threatened by:

Agricultural intensifica/on

Land-abandonment

(if not sufficiently produc2ve)

(if slope too steep)

•  Bisses à sprinklers
•  Solid manure/no fer2lizer à high
amounts of slurry

•  Forest encroachment

(less maintenance)

Objec/ve: to find a threshold of intensifica2on leading to a trade-off between
biodiversity and yields to avoid land-abandonment and extreme intensifica2on

low intensity

Trade-off?

Introduc2on
•  Why snails?
– 
– 
– 
– 

Rela2vely easy to collect and iden2fy
Important detri2vorous and herbivorous taxon
Prey for vertebrates and invertebrates
Species on the Red list

« A bag of cold water that cannot even move unless it
leaks should not be able to survive outside a bog ».
