Location

The roughly triangular floodplain area, in Czech Soutok, in German also Thaya-March Zwickel, is situated south of the town of Břeclav and the village of Lanžhot. The Morava River forms the border between the Czech Republic and Slovakia, the Dyje River that between the Czech Republic and Austria. From the north, the area is surrounded by arable land and the road from Lanžhot to the bridge over the Morava River. Alluvial forests and meadows extend here over approximately 50 km2. The geographic coordinates of the northernmost point of the area are 48° 44' 45" N and 16° 54' 20" E, those of the confluence of the Morava and Dyje Rivers 48° 37' 00" N and 16° 56' 30" E.

 Site description

The broad Dyje-Morava floodplain is situated at an altitude of 151-153 m. The lowest point is the confluence of the Morava and Dyje Rivers. The only features rising above the surrounding landscape are sandy or gravelly formations, known as hrúds in local dialect or Parzen in the dialect of Austrian villages on the other bank of the Dyje River, not more than a few meters high. They probably represent the remains of old river terraces and eolian deposits. However, except for the hrúds, these deposits are buried under a thick layer of alluvial loams. The hrúds are quite common along the Dyje River, while along the Morava River only a few of them can be found. The reason for this is the difference in rock types in the catchment areas of these rivers and their tributaries. The Morava River has its catchment area mainly in the flysch-formed Carpathian fringes and in the parts of northern Moravia formed of Carboniferous deposits, so the alluvial deposits of the Morava River are quite uniform. The Dyje River drains a geologically varied area, and its alluvial deposits are far from being uniform, containing a high proportion of sand.

Oxbows and pools in various stages of silting-up are characteristic elements of the floodplain. Man-made features are canals, ditches, and abandoned borrow pits filled with water.

The soils are relatively uniform. Alluvial gleysols prevail. Cambisols and rankers are found on the hrúds. Gleysols and gyttja are present in standing waters.

The climate is warm and dry with an average yearly temperature of 9-10 °C and an average yearly rainfall of 500-550 mm.

 Vegetation and historical development of the floodplain

The greater part of the area is wooded. Forests cover probably 4,200 ha, i.e. 84% of the total area. The most widespread are hardwood floodplain forests of the association Fraxino pannonicae-Ulmetum (Ulmenion). Sandy or loamy hrúds, which are flooded only rarely and for short periods of time, are covered by Pannonian oak-hornbeam forests of the association Fraxino pannonicae-Carpinetum (Carpinion). Softwood floodplain forest, assigned to the association Salicetum albae (Salicion albae), is developed only in fragments. It is confined to shallow wet depressions.

The vegetation of aquatic macrophytes used to be a remarkable feature of southern Moravian floodplains. Communities of the alliances Lemnion minoris, Batrachion aquatilis, Hydrocharition, Nymphaeion albae, Potamion lucentis, and Potamion pusilli are found in standing and slowly running waters. Most waters are surrounded mainly by stands of Glyceria maxima, forming the association Glycerietum maximae (Phragmition communis), and by tall-forb vegetations of the alliance Oenanthion aquaticae. In wetlands which are dry for most of the vegetative season, communities of pelochthophytes and tenagophytes develop.

A community dominated by Eleocharis acicularis (Littorellion uniflorae) was rarely recorded. Vegetations dominated by Limosella aquatica and stands of the association Dichostyli-Gnaphalietum uliginosi (both Eleocharition ovatae) were observed at a few sites, mainly man-made, such as beds of borrow pits and channels. On bare soils in natural habitats, such as pools, oxbows and river banks, stands of the association Polygono brittingeri-Chenopodietum rubri and stands of Bidens frondosa (both Bidention tripartitae) are often developed.

Among many types of semi-natural (replacement) vegetation, tall-sedge stands and meadows of the alliances Caricion gracilis, Senecion fluviatilis, Agropyro-Rumicion crispi, Veronico longifoliae-Lysimachion vulgaris, Molinion, Cnidion venosi, and Arrhenatherion should be listed. The most widespread are the continental alluvial meadows of the alliance Cnidion venosi, whereas Molinion and Arrhenatherion meadows have a limited distribution in lower parts of the hrúds and in marginal parts of the area which are only rarely flooded. At a few places, fragments of tall-forb meadow communities of the alliance Veronico longifoliae-Lysimachion vulgaris exist.

A remarkable phenomenon of the floodplain are dry grasslands of the alliance Koelerio-Phleion phleoidis growing on high hrúds, assigned to the association Peucedano oreoselini-Festucetum rupicolae. Their stands comprise Festuco-Brometea species, but xerophilous Molinio-Arrhenatheretea species are also present. The occurrence of these xerophilous species in the floodplain can be explained by the history of the area. Archaeological finds document that until the ringwall period (8th and 9th century) the floodplain was not completely even. Sand dunes and higher river terraces were still preserved at that time and supported xerophilous vegetation. Palaeobotanical studies also indicate that hardwood alluvial forests prevailed at that time, whereas sand dunes and river terraces were covered with oak-hornbeam forests (Carpinion). In these oak-hornbeam forests, however, no real xerophytes could have survived. The only possible explanation for the current occurrence of many xerophytes is that at some places the oak-hornbeam forests changed into open thermophilous oak forests. Archaeological finds also brought evidence that at the time under consideration Prunus fruticosa, P. spinosa, Ligustrum vulgare, and Cornus mas grew in the vicinity of the fortified manor of Pohansko.

As early as in the ringwall period, large deforested areas must also have existed in the floodplain. This opinion is supported by the find of remains of Otis tarda which is a bird confined exclusively to open landscape. It is thus possible that dry grasslands similar to those of today occurred at some places in the area. The water regime was balanced throughout the year. Far-reaching changes, caused by human activities, took place in the 11th and 12th centuries. At that time, people colonized the upper watershed, mainly in the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands (Českomoravská vrchovina), and wide-spread logging altered the water regime of the rivers. Floods became more frequent and occurred even several times a year, and the amounts of material transported from the upper watershed increased. The original rugged terrain of the floodplain was filled in with a deep layer of alluvial mud. This enabled the softwood forest to spread, while the hardwood forests had to retreat to elevated places. Dry grasslands were preserved only at the tops of the highest hrúds, which were only exceptionally or never flooded.

 Flora of vascular plants

The flora of the area near the confluence of the Morava and Dyje Rivers comprises 873 species belonging to different phytogeographic groups. The occurrence of Continental South Siberian and Pontic-Pannonian species is of special plant geographic interest, as several species of these groups reach their north-western distribution boundary in southern Moravia. The first group is represented by Cnidium dubium, Scutellaria hastifolia (both near their distribution boundary), Allium angulosum, and Juncus atratus, as well as Achillea setacea, Astragalus danicus, Orobanche arenaria, Scorzonera purpurea, Veronica prostrata, and Thymus pannonicus at dry places on hrúds. The group of Pontic-Pannonian taxa includes Carex buekii, Fraxinus angustifolia subsp. danubialis, Leucojum aestivum (both near their distribution boundary), Loranthus europaeus, and Thalictrum lucidum, as well as Erysimum diffusum, Hierochloë repens, Linaria genistifolia, Ranunculus illyricus, and Verbascum phoeniceum in dry places on the hrúds. The Subatlantic element is represented by a few species which, however, are quite conspicuous in the vegetation. Carex strigosa and Silaum silaus belong here, as well as Armeria elongata, Corynephorus canescens (now probably extinct), Hypochoeris radicata, and Jasione montana, all growing in dry sandy places.

From the plant geographic and historical point of view, the occurrence of species, such as Corydalis pumila, Galanthus nivalis, Galium odoratum, Isopyrum thalictroides, Polygonatum multiflorum, Primula veris, and Viola mirabilis, on the forested hrúds is a remarkable phenomenon. They indicate the oak-hornbeam forest can be considered as relicts of the pre-floodplain period. Some other species, also confined to this type of forest, e.g. Allium ursinum, Dentaria bulbifera, Maianthemum bifolium, Senecio ovatus, Symphytum tuberosum, and Veronica montana, might have been floated later to this area from the Moravian Carpathians where they are quite common.

 Conservation

Despite the high conservation value of the floodplain, the two existing National Nature Reserves Ranšpurk and Cahnov-Soutok cover only less than 1% of the area. They were both established as early as in 1949 to protect parts of the mainly hardwood forest taken out of economic use in the early 1930s. Other sites, namely oxbows and other wetlands, have been under consideration for years, but the administrative procedure has not been completed yet. The whole area is proposed to become a part of the Protected Landscape Area Pálava. Unfortunately, this plan has been strongly opposed by the State Forest Enterprise Židlochovice and by the Ministry of Agriculture.

The area was used for hunting already by the Liechtensteins, owners of the domain, but the existing game preserve called Soutok with red deer and fallow deer was established in the late 1960s when the surrounding fence was built. Game stock became enormously high in the 1980s and culminated in 1989, but no reliable numbers are available. Game devastated forest stands and completely eliminated natural regeneration there. After 1989, the numbers of animals were considerably reduced, but the negative impact of large herbivores on natural regeneration is still easily noticeable. In 1992, a fence was built around the reserve of Ranšpurk to protect it from game grazing.

In 1997, the region was proposed as one of 13 Important Plant Areas in the Czech Republic.

The mycoflora of this area was studied in the 1960s by F. Šmarda and J. Lazebníček (Institute of Botany, Brno). František Kotlaba (Institute of Botany, Prague), Z. Pouzar (National Museum, Prague), and A. Černý (Mendel University of Agriculture and Forestry, Brno) worked in the area in the 1970s and 1980s. In the late 1980s and 1990s, after the no-entrance zone along the state border was abolished, V. Antonín, A. Vágner (both Moravian Museum, Brno), and P. Vampola (Jihlava) regularly collected fungi in this region. A mycofloristic survey was published by Antonín, Vágner & Vampola (2000). Permanent plots under the international projects "Mycological monitoring in European oak forests" and "Restoration of wetlands at Pálava" (1992-1996) were also established here.

A total of 833 macromycete taxa have been recorded in this area. Some species, e.g. Botryobasidium simile Pouzar et Hol.-Jech., B. robustius Pouzar et Jechová, Diplococcium insolitum Hol.-Jech., and Hypoxylon moravicum Pouzar, were described as new to science from this area. Two of the species growing here, Rhodotus palmatus and Omphalina discorosea, are protected by law in the Czech Republic. Seven species, i.e. Agrocybe cylindracea, Aurantioporus croceus, Crepidotus crocophyllus, Leccinum duriusculum, Omphalina discorosea, Pluteus aurantiorugosus, and Rhodotus palmatus, are included in the Red Data Book of the Slovak Republic and Czech Republic (Kotlaba 1995).
