Terraces occur mainly at river slops (in Central, West and East Germany) and in hilly regions as well as at the lower foothills of the Alps. Natural terraces do only occur next to rivers in the high mountains and are very rare today.

Today Occurrence can be subdivided

• Regional: river valleys,hilly regions, mountain regions.
• By function: Wine production,Fruit tree production, Gardening (urban, private, educational gardening, small scale), Special production forms
• Genesis: Natural, Artificial (production improvement, flood protection, infrastructure, mining, etc.)

Neither natural once nor infrastructural ones are treated within this databank.

• Protected by law: Germany, in the (in some) federal states (M-V: if >50m)
• (Re)construction is supported and co-financed
• Plans where, what and how to renew hedges
• Good awareness by planners
• Biotopverbund

Hedges are endangered, as for many years, farmers have destroyed them in order to get bigger fields, easily to farm with tractors. Further dangers:

• Clearing / cutting
• Too close with machines (plough etc.)
• Too much fertiliser/ deposit of fertiliser and pestizides
• Cutting not adapted (wrong cutting)
• Waste/litter
• Damages by animals (biting)
