The meadow seen from the south-east corner towards the northwest. The meadow is nicely grazed with just a few bushes. The location of the stream can be sensed in the low plain. The water-filled trench in the foreground is a drainage channel that directs water from the south-east of the meadow into the stream. Photo: Kaj Halberg 14-06-1969 ©
The stream runs north-south through the meadow. The stream seen from south to north. There are only a few red-and grey-willow trees and the vegetation has been grazed, with the exception of areas with lesser pond-sedge. Photo: Kaj Halberg 19-04-1970 ©
The meadow seen from S/E towards N/W from a position close to the beginning of the upcoming transect. The meadow is grazed by four horses, and in the foreground in the bottom left-hand corner of the picture newly established common alder trees are seen. Photo: Kaj Halberg 05-06-1970 ©
The meadow seen from the west towards the north. The vegetation of the meadow has been grazed, and only a few common alder trees can be seen along the stream to the north. There is no common alder thicket towards the east, where the transect was established in 1980. Photo: Kaj Halberg 09-05-1971 ©
The meadow seen from north towards the S/E. The foreground depicts broad-leaved marsh orchids, marsh-marigold and a blanket of creeping buttercup. The vegetation of the meadow has been grazed, a few common alder trees can be seen along the stream to the north. Photo: Kaj Halberg 31-05-1971 ©
The meadow seen from north towards the S/E. The common alder thicket is visible in the background to the left. The same photo position as Kaj Halberg’s photo depicting broad-leaved marsh orchids in the foreground from 31-05-1970. The meadow has not been grazed for three years and is beginning to be overgrown.

The coming transect, through the common alder thicket, the meadowsweet habitat and the lesser pond-sage habitat. The transect seen from the S towards the E/NE. Photo: Erik Vinther 25-09-1977 ©
The meadow seen from the west towards the north. After seven years without grazing, the meadow is overgrown with tall herbaceous plants and common alder and common sallow. More or less the same position and direction as Kaj Halberg’s photo from 09-05-1971. Photo: Erik Vinther 15-05-1979 ©
The meadow viewed from the S/E towards the N/W from the common alder thicket in the same direction as Erik Vinci's photo from 15-03-1979 and in the same direction and position as Kaj Halberg’s photo from 05-06-1970. Photo: Erik Vinther 16-06-1979 ©
The common alder thicket. The transect begins at the edge of the forest way to the right. Photo: Erik Vinther 01-01-1981 ©
The meadow seen from the south-east corner towards the northwest. The north-south running stream through the meadow is hidden by a raised thicket of common alder. Almost the same photo site as Kaj Halberg 14-06-1969. Photo: Erik Vinther 20-03-1981 ©
The north-south running stream running through the meadow is seen from the south towards the north. This is partly the same motive as on Kaj Halberg’s photo from 19-04-1970. Along the stream, common alder can been seen growing and the meadow is becoming overgrown with tall herbaceous plants, common alder and common sallow. Photo: Erik Vinther 15-04-1981 ©
The meadow seen from north towards the S/E. The common alder thicket is visible in the background to the left. The same photo position as Kaj Halberg’s photo depicting broad-leaved marsh orchids in the foreground from 31-05-1970. The meadow is now heavily overgrowth. Photo: Erik Vinther 01-06-1981 ©
Aarhus Municipality mowed the meadow in the period 1983-87. The two un-mowed squares illustrate the mowing effect in areas with common reed and meadowsweet. Photo: Erik Vinther 20-07-1983 ©
The common alder thicket was cut down in the winter 1987-88. Seen towards the north-west. Photo: Erik Vinther 06-03-1988 ©
The transect starts at the edge of the forest in the eastern part of the meadow and continues through the former common alder thicket that was cut down in the winter of 1987-88, through the meadowsweet habitat and ends up in the lesser pond-sedge habitat by the north-south-facing stream. The photo is from the first summer following the felling of the common alder thicket and establishment of grazing. Photo: Erik Vinther 15-07-1988 ©
The previous common alder thicket and meadowsweet habitat seen from the beginning of the transect. The photo was taken the first summer after clearing the alder thicket and initiating grazing. Photo: Erik Vinther 15-07-1988 ©

The meadowsweet habitat seen from the west along the transect to the east, where the transect begins at the edge of the forest. The photo was taken the first summer after clearing the alder thicket and initiating grazing. Photo: Erik Vinther 15-07-1988 ©
The previous lesser pond-sedge habitat seen along the transect from the east towards the beginning of the transect at the edge of the forest. The photo is from the first summer following the felling of the common alder thicket and establishment of grazing. Photo: Erik Vinther 15-07-1988 ©

The course of the transect beginning at the edge of the forest to the left in the picture and ending at the stream, the course of which is marked by alder trees The image shows two red-and-white ranging rod showing the course of the transect. Photo: Erik Vinther 13-07-2015 ©
The transect in Uller Eng seen from the east towards the west in the summer of 2015. The foreground is dominated by wood clubrush, which at the middle of the transect is replaced by bottle sedge, and in the background lesser pond-sedge is dominating. The alder trees mark the course of the stream, and a red-and-white ranging rod can be seen at the bank, indicating the end point of the transect. Photo: Erik Vinther 14-07-2015 ©
Uller Eng photographed from the beginning of the transect towards the stream. The first part of the transect in the former alder thicket is dominated by wood clubrush. Photo: Erik Vinther 01-08-2021 ©
In the summer of 2022, Uller Eng was being overgrown by , among others, growing common alder. This was the case, for example, in the northeast corner of the meadow. Photo: Erik Vinther 19-07-2022 ©
Aarhus Municipality owns Uller Eng and carries out supplementary nature conservation in the form of mowing and removal of red-and grey-willow. A small tracked vehicle is used to transport various implements out onto the soft meadow floor. The vehicle does not leave visible tracks in the meadow because the wide tracks distribute the weight of the vehicle over a large area. Photo: Erik Vinther 21-09-2022 ©
Aarhus Municipality has just removed grown common alder from Uller Eng,e.g. from the northeast corner of the meadow. Photo: Erik Vinther 21-09-2022 ©
Aarhus Municipality is responsible for ensuring that fallen trees do not pose a risk for people and cattle on the higher ground toward the east, which is part of fencing around Uller Eng. Photo: Erik Vinther 21-09-2022 ©
