Dniprovsko Orilskyi Nature Reserve
Dnipropetrovsk region
About reserve
The reserve protects a unique preserved area of long-flooded forests in the middle reaches of the Dnipro River with their numerous straits, reed thickets and forest outliers. Floodplain lakes are decorated with the European white water lily (Nymphaea alba), water caltrop (Trapa natans) and floating fern (Salvinia natans).
Once such ecosystems used to be typical, but as a result of creation of the system of hydropower plants on the Dnipro River only small areas of the former rich floodplain remained unflooded.
