Alluvial forest

An alluvial forest or floodplain forest is a forested or wooded area of land adjacent to a body of water such as a river, stream, pond, lake, marshland, estuary, canal, sink, or reservoir. Due to the broad nature of the definition, alluvial woodlands have a huge diversity of characteristics including but not limited to soil composition, microclimates, and vegetative structures.

The area of Soutok (Confluence) is a protected natural site and the only protected alluvial forest area in the whole of Moravia. It hosts many protected species and is especially known for its lone standing oaks.
