Description & Map
Summary
Nature reserves constitute one of the most important conservation categories in Germany and Austria. The exact definitions vary, but together they combine the conservation of natural landscape, the protection of endangered species and the preservation for scientific interests.
Description
Das Naturschutzgebiet wird charakterisiert durch naturnahe, geophytenreiche Wälder auf Geschiebemergel sowie durch einen landwirtschaftlich genutzten Niederungsbereich. Es befindet sich im Einzugsgebiet der Dumme, des Clenzer Mühlenbachs, des Schnegaer Mühlengrabens und des Schwarzen Bachs. Die Waldflächen setzen sich auf den stark grundwasserbeeinflussten, kalkreichen Standorten und entlang der Fließgewässer aus Erlen- und Birkenbruchwäldern, Erlen-Eschenwäldern und Eichen-Mischwäldern zusammen. Auf etwas ärmeren Standorten dominieren im nördlichen Bereich altholzreiche Buchen- und Buchenmischwälder, lichte Eichenwälder sowie laubholzreiche Kiefernbestände.
