Grosses Moos is an important area for agricultural production. At the same time, it offers particularly good potential as a habitat for typical species that breed on cultivated land. Since 1995, the Swiss Ornithological Institute has been surveying the populations of selected breeding birds in the core zone over an area of 42 km².
