These types of land are also divided into classes. High biological values usually demand a more careful and labour-intensive management. The terms are therefore more extensive for those lands. The compensation is also higher. Farmers with many biologically and culturally valuable landscape elements on their land can be compensated for the management of these elements.
Examples are avenues, field roads, stone walls and open ditches.
The landscape elements must be managed in various ways e.g. mowed or grazed. Overgrowth of trees and bushes has to be removed. This openness is very important for the biodiversity of the forest regions. If agriculture recedes the result is usually afforestation. The support for conservation of animal breeds threatened by extinction concern certain old breeds of cattle, sheep and goats.
