Employing heavy agricultural machinery, the relocation of moorshyfied soil particles, and the alternation between thawing and freezing, can lead to the formation of barrier layers in agricultural used fens. The consequences are limited water conductivity and seasonal waterlogging events, which have a negative impact on the yield of the sites. The concept of bio-tillage or biological drilling, previously known in compacted mineral soils, promises a new approach to improving the soil structure by using plant roots to loosen and regenerate the soil structure. However, not every plant species is equally suitable, as its penetration ability is species-specific. To reduce the identified research gap for fen grassland species, vegetation, soil and root studies were made at three fen sites in Brandenburg where the occurrence of waterlogging is known. Of the eleven species examined, eight appear potentially suitable for structural regeneration and can be well integrated into existing concepts for the use of paludicultures.
