In the course of climate change, the future importance of regions for agricultural production may change significantly (Zabel et al., 2014).With the continuing demand for animal products and the increasing competition for arable land, the attractiveness of grassland could increase in the future (Röös et al., 2017;Schader et al., 2015;Zumwald et al., 2019). The pre-alpine region is characterized by high rainfalls and clay-rich soils, which guarantee optimal conditions for good grass growth. Up to 70% of the forage areas in the pre-alpine regions are permanent grasslands, the yields of which cannot be used for direct human consumption (Coch et al., 2009;
