Habitats of the Luitemaa NR Mati Kose EOS – LIFE Häädemeeste

Luitemaa Nature Reserve: Area there the Baltic Sea and human have set the nature’s development Main landscape characteristics are influenced by past and present development of the Baltic Sea North-Soutward several sand dune ridges shape the landscape and form the soil and hydrological conditions of the area The first major human interference to natural habitats has been taken place in the 1850-ies The human impact to the habitats has been most intensive from the middle until the last decade of the previous century
