Velké Družďavy Natural Monument: Steppe Geography and Protected Landscapes in Jihomoravský kraj
Rare xerothermic habitats on Miocene sandy substrates
Velké Družďavy represents a vital, small-scale protected area in the Czech Republic. Defined by its south-facing slope and sandy Miocene substrate, the site supports significant populations of thermophilic plants. This natural monument illustrates the challenges of managing xerothermic steppe vegetation against encroaching forest succession, providing a distinct geographic focal point within the regional protected area network of South Moravia.
