The active military training ground in SPA Colbitz-Letzlinger Heide is one of the largest heathlands in Germany and is of national importance for typical sand heath birds like the hoopoe (Upupa epops), nightjar (Caprimulgus europaeus) and tawny pipit (Anthus campestris). The processes of mulching and burning are strategies to maintain areas. One aim of this current study is to reveal the influence of these management strategies on sand heath birds.
