The nature reserve is largely located within the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve as part of the Elbe River Landscape Biosphere Reserve and includes most of the core area of ​​the major nature conservation project Middle Elbe, which the nature reserve also serves to safeguard.

The area is characterized by soft and hard wood alluvial forests , alder swamp forests as well as predominantly moist, extensively managed grassland complexes, some of which are in the floodplain area of ​​the Elbe, but some are also dense. The dense areas are partially influenced by smoke water . Swamps , reed beds and tall herbaceous vegetation can also be found in damp locations . In addition, grassland areas are as sedges - and rushes rich wet meadows pronounced. In places the grasslands are pronounced as burning cone meadows . In the nature reserve, numerous oxbow lakes with silting zones , flood channels and wet depressions can be found within the floodplain . The alluvial forests are characterized by black alder , common ash , English oak , white elm and field elm .

The areas outside the floodplain are often forested, such as B. the Steckbyer forest as part of the nature reserve. The predominant forest communities outside the floodplain are oak and hornbeam forests . In part, inland dunes , grasslands and heaths how to find the Kühnauer Heath. The forest communities in the nature reserve have a high proportion of old and dead wood .

Three sub-areas have been designated as natural forest cells since mid-November 2017 : The 40.3 hectare natural forest cell "Lödderitz-Goldberger See" in Lödderitz with oak and hornbeam forests in fresh to moist locations and small areas of alder swamp and quarry forests, in which at the time of designation up to Pedunculate oaks that were up to 200 years old were growing, the 45.2 hectare “Lödderitz-Ketzin” natural forest cell in Lödderitz with alder-elm floodplain and damp forests as well as small-area alder swamp and swamp forests, also with very old pedunculate oaks and black poplars , and the 35 , 5 hectare natural forest cell "Olberg" in Aken with alder-elm floodplain and damp forests with pedunculate oaks that are over 200 years old. Around 2323 hectares of the nature reserve are located in the core zones of the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve and, as a total reserve, are left to develop undisturbed.
