The Pohnstorfer Moor nature reserve is a nature reserve in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It is located in the southwest of the Klützer angle in the district of Northwest Mecklenburg .

The nature reserve covers 33 hectares in parts of the communities Roggenstorf (district Grevenstein) and Damshagen (district Welzin and Pohnstorf) and was designated on June 27, 2005 under the official number N 326 . It serves the permanent protection, maintenance and development of a biotope complex of partially wooded limestone bogs , wet and humid meadows as well as rough grass hills .

The area was previously used extensively for agriculture , mainly as pasture and hay meadows, and therefore has particularly species-rich wet and wet meadows with endangered and partially threatened species of plants and animals.

history

The area is embedded in a terminal moraine formed during the Ice Age . The Pohnstorfer Moor was created by silting up a calcareous mesotrophic lake.

Flora and fauna

An extensive moor complex occupies the central part of the area. There are sedges, rushes and reeds. The peat layer is so far only a few decimeters thick. In the western part of the area there are near-natural swamp forests with willows, birches and alders.
