In this article we focus on the issue of determining the presence and status of the priority habitat 91I0* Euro-Siberian steppic woods with Quercus spp. in the South Slovak basin. As part of the issue, we try to verify the correctness of the procedure of the State Nature Conservancy of the Slovak Republic in the search for potential habitats and areas of European importance by converting the typological map to a map of habitats. Habitat 91I0* occurs in Slovakia in the form of three subtypes, namely Thermophilous and supra-Mediterranean oak woods (Carpineto-Quercetum and Betuleto-Quercetum), Acidophilous oak forests (Quercetum), while the last-named subtype is divided into two subunits: Medio-European acidophilous oak forests—part A and Pannonic hairy greenweed sessile oak woods—part B. Due to the current unsatisfactory state of the mentioned habitats, the requirement of the State Nature Conservancy of the Slovak Republic is to find and add new areas with the occurrence of habitat 91I0* in the south of Central Slovakia. During the mapping in the Lučenecká and Rimavská basins, greater emphasis was placed on the occurrence of the subtype Thermophilic Pontic-Pannonian oak forests on loess and sand, but its presence has not been confirmed. Subsequently, we focused on the search and identification of habitats in the model area, which is the area of European importance SKUEV0957 Uderinky. The result is a map of habitats in this area, which we then compare with a typological map, which determines the reliability of the converter used by the State Nature Conservancy of the Slovak Republic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
