Introduction

With the meadow birds application, users (members of the Agricultural Nature Association) are able to enter geographic data related to the management of grassland. As well as information about the territories of meadow birds, information about the location of their nests can be entered too. This information can then be used to work out how suitable the management implemented for meadow birds is. The result of this analysis may then be used to adapt the management style, if necessary.
