Deciduous trees planted in a single or double line made up of
at least five trees along a road or what constituted a
the road or in an otherwise open landscape. The trees are going to
predominantly consist of adult trees.
2. Source with surrounding wetlands in agricultural land
An area of terrain where groundwater concentrated flows out
and where the wetland resulting from the
escaping the water amounts to no more than a hectare.
3. mound Cultivation of agricultural land
On or adjacent to agricultural land posted the accumulation of
stones originating in agricultural use.
4. Overseeing implementation
Lopped arrows in a row consisting of either
a) at least five trees spaced not more than 100 metres in
an otherwise open agricultural land or along a road where the ground
between AI Salici is flat or raised to a dike, or
b) at least three trees if the dike is well educated, more than 0.5 meters
high and two meters wide.
The biotope includes tree row's height with the width of the widest
Crown projection on the ground. If the wall is wider than
the Crown projection on the ground, includes the biotope embankment in
its entirety.

in agricultural land constantly or during much of the year
keeps surface water or a damp ground such as swamps, ponds,
wetting, översilningsmarker, cold springs, märgelgravar, open
ditches, ponds and up to two meter wide natural Brook furrows.
Area restriction does not apply to linear elements that open ditches
or not more than two metres wide natural Brook furrows. Ponds, landscaped
for irrigation purposes not included in this biotope.
