Satyrium ilicis shows a preference for parcels treated with rock flour.

There has been a drastic decline in <em>Satyrium ilicis</em> population across north-east Europe. One of the reasons of this decline is the acidification of soil at its natural habitats. Rock flour has been given as a solution, it can reverse the acidification of the soil. The observations of this research suggest a preference of <em>Satyrium ilicis</em> for locations that have been treated with rock flour.

在欧洲东北部地区，栎灰蝶（Satyrium ilicis）的种群数量出现了急剧下降。该种群数量下滑的诱因之一，是其自然栖息地内的土壤酸化。岩粉（Rock flour）已被提出作为应对方案，其可逆转土壤酸化进程。本研究的观测结果表明，栎灰蝶更倾向于选择经岩粉处理过的栖息区域。
