Kamberg Nature Reserve

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Märzenbecher in the NSG Kamberg

The Kamberg nature reserve with a size of 7.9  hectares is located northeast of Amecke in the urban area of Sundern (Sauerland) . The area was designated as a nature reserve (NSG) with an area of ​​4.9 hectares for the first time in 1993 with the Sundern landscape plan by the Hochsauerlandkreis . When the landscape planner Sundern was reorganized in 2019, the NSG was again identified and enlarged. The NSG borders directly on the development of the village to the north, west and south-west. In the south, the landscape protection area borders the outskirts and agricultural priority areas in the landscape between Amecke, Bruchhausen, Allendorf and Stockum and in the east the landscape protection area Sundern .

description

The NSG is a structure and species-rich deciduous forest on a shallow and wooded Kamberg ridge running from southwest to northeast . The subsoil is formed by light gray limestone. The NSG has an extensive cave system. In addition to smaller limestone extraction points, there is a quarry with 10 m high steep walls in the southern part. The landscape plan explains the nature reserve: “In the west there is an older mixed oak and hornbeam forest with partly interspersed birch trees. To the east, there is a mixed beech forest in the thicket and pole wood age. This stock is used by z. Sometimes very old beeches and oaks with a trunk diameter of more than 100 cm were transferred. In addition to smaller limestone extraction points, there is a quarry with 10 m thick steep walls in the southern part. Today, the eastern part of the Kamberg is mainly planted with spruce crops that were not very old. Especially in the fringes in the east and south, however, there is still a species-rich oak-hornbeam forest (partly with overhangs) that was created through the use of coppice. There is a walk along the entire southern edge of the area, accompanied by a hedge. The extremely species-rich herb layer of the indigenous mixed deciduous forests on the limestone site is particularly valuable in the NSG - it contains numerous, regionally rare, calcareous plant species, including numerous spring geophytes. "

Protection purpose

According to the landscape plan, it was designated as:

  • "Protection, preservation and development of a diverse, predominantly natural forest area on a regionally rare limestone site and its communities with numerous spring geophytes and a species-rich mollusc fauna with z. T. biogeographical importance; "
  • "Protection and preservation of a stepping stone biotope for scientific, natural history, geological and regional reasons."
  • "The NSG also serves to sustainably secure the occurrence of rare animal and plant species."

Commandments and development measure

Four commandments were listed in the landscape plan for the NSG. In the NSG, the deposits of rubbish, wood and grass clippings are to be removed. The numerous footpaths are to be removed as part of a path concept to be drawn up. A gravel-fired fireplace on the bottom of the small quarry in the south is to be dismantled. The coniferous wood areas are to be converted into deciduous forest upon payment of appropriate compensation.

As a development measure for the NSG, it was stipulated that conifers should be removed and converted into a natural deciduous mixed forest.
