Terrain and soil
The Wolfsberg has steep slopes and small rock faces from former quarries. The terrain is characterized by shallow sandy soils.
climate
The nature reserve is influenced by the oceanic, humid climate of the Palatinate Forest and the mild, dry climate of the Rhine plain.
Flora and vegetation
Several floristic studies and a vegetation study have been carried out in the area. Over 270 vascular plant species have been identified, including numerous heat- and light-loving representatives; in addition, sub-Mediterranean and foreign species were found. Endangered species on the Red List and protected species also occur. In addition to anthropogenically influenced plant communities, typical forest communities on the slopes and an interesting penetration of fragments of two vegetation communities on the Red List, the Genistello-Phleetum phleoidis and the Geranio-Trifolietum alpestris (“steppe heather”, i.e. dry grass, warmth-loving perennial fringes, bushes or dry forests, were found develop on rocky soil with a thin layer of fine earth).
