Abstract Old vineyards with well structured walls and diverse habitat elements on steep south facing slopes are an important component of the cultural heritage along the river valleys of south-west Germany. Such vineyards provide valuable habitat to many rare and endangered xerothermic plant and animal species (Jätzold 1990). They require intensive manual labor as machinery can be used only to a limited extent. As a consequence of the marginal economic benefits, these vineyards are increasingly consolidated leading to structurally monotonous less steep vineyards. This process has led to a considerable reduction and isolation of the remaining valuable habitat and concomittantly to a serious decline of many species.
