A moorland is a semi-natural landscape. This means that without human intervention in natural processes, the heath and habitat would disappear. To maintain the heath and counter forestation certain parts must be systematically cut down and geplagd. Sod is the removal of the humus-rich top layer. It is a very labor intensive job. The sods were used until 1920 as a fuel and as a ground cover in barns. Even now, even geplagd, but in the context of nature conservation. This gives the typical heathland vegetation, these are plants that like to have a nutrient-poor soil, such as heather, heather and sundew ample opportunities to develop themselves.
