The nature reserve Pohnstorfer Moor is a nature reserve in Mecklenburg- Vorpommern. It is located in the southwest of Klützer angle in the district of North West Mecklenburg.

The nature reserve covers 33 hectares on parts of the communities Roggenstorf ( district Greven stone) and Damshagen ( districts Welzin and Pohnstorf ) and was on 27 June 2005 under the official number N 326 reported. It is used for permanent preservation, conservation and development of a biotope complex of partially wooded Kalkflachmooren, wet and moist meadows and poor grass hills.

The area was previously used extensively for agriculture, mainly as pasture and hay meadow, and therefore has particularly species-rich wetlands and wet meadows with vulnerable and partly endangered plant and animal species.

History

The area is nestled in a glacial terminal moraine created. The Pohnstorfer Moor was formed by the silting up of a lime - mesotrophic lake.

Plant and animal world

An extensive marsh complex occupies the central part of the territory. It can be found sedges, rushes and reeds stocks. The peat layer is only a few tens of centimeters thick. In the western part of the territory there are natural swamp forests with willow, birch and alder.
