Ecological characteristic. Habitats are formed on the rich hydromorphic soils or soils with a high ground water level, mainly on the plain areas and slopes.

Threats. Recreation and farming cause the impoverishment of biodiversity.

Management. Maintenance of the habitat integrity and specific diversity, as well as selective cutting of trees, as this type of wood is not being restored yet.
