Descripción del sitio
| Csévharaszt Junipers Nature Conservation Area Territory of the protected area: 105 hectares. Location: The protected area is situated in the fields of Csévharszt. Visitors: Freely accessible for visitors. Management: Directorate of the Duna–Ipoly National Park Just like the 'turjános', the watery, marshy habitats in the Alföld, the other charcteristic feature, the world of patches of sanded, loess habitats, sand hills, moving sand seem to be disappearing slowly. The former has been liquidated with draining, so has the latter with modern agricultural technologies doing soil-amelioration. That is why these patches of just a few hectares are so valuable which preserve the most precious species of flora and fauna and landscape values of this diminishing world. Such a land stretches along the south-eastern border of the Pest plain between Csévharaszt, Inárcs and Nyáregyháza. On this area divided with sand hills the thermophile drought resistant sanded puszta lawn associations and puszta oaks which used to cover vast areas have still survived. The most precious plants of the landscape of captivating beauty radiating an idyllic atmosphere are the feather-grass (Stipa sabulosa), the heath-rose (Fumana procumbens), the cinquefoil (Potentilla arenaria), the sand iris. We have to point out the pink (Dianthus diutinus) which was defined on this area by Kitaibel Pál. But the real specialty of the land is the reputable juniper-poplar association, where the dark green junipers and the white poplars offer a picturesque sight for visitors. A thick layer of moss grows on the thick acidic leaf-litter of the forest decaying slowly. It is worth mentioning that the Csévharaszt flora and fauna basically emerged as a result of human intervention, since – according to zonation – this area had also been covered with wooded steppe. The sanded scene with moving sand took shape in the Turkish era when the extensive clearing of forests and too much grazing destroyed the sanded soil not very good quality anyway and opened the door to thermophile drought resistant associations – e.g. to junipers instead of oaks – to appear.  http://www.foek.hu/zsibongo/termve/tt/angtt/csevha.htm |
