  abstract  = {Since 1993 the southern shore of Lake G{\"u}lpe in western Brandenburg has been man-aged with Galloway cattle. This is supported by the so called "Vertragsnaturschutz" (i.e. contract nature conservation) in order to preserve the valuable, species-rich vegetation structure. This is an economically justifiable arrangement for the Galloway cattle-farmer. Permanent botanical plots were monitored in the area for four years. For most species, the observed changes in vegetation are considered as mere fluctuations on the basis of their known ecological requirements and data on hydrological dynamics during the study. Only a few species might indicate succession. A continuation of the present form of land management is recommended for the preservation of the current vegetation structure. However it is advisable to continue with monitoring of the vegetation in order to confirm the results over larger timescales. Until then the management with Galloway cattle is to acclaim as a proper treatment to preserve the southern shore of Lake G{\"u}lpe.},
