Abstract
Landscape-level GIS analysis of actual vegetation of Baranyai-hegyhát, Völgység and Tolnaihegyhát was performed on the base of Landscape Ecological Vegetation Database and Map of Hungary (MÉTA). Natural and semi-natural vegetation covers 34% in Baranyai-hegyhát, closest to Mecsek hills, and about 10% in the other regions. 45 habitat types occur, 53% of all Hungarian ones. Patterns of mesophilous and dry and semi-dry grasslands and forests, according to climatic data, shows a distinct SW-NE gradient from mesophilous beech and hornbeam-oak forests to turkey oak-pedunculate oak and closed steppe oak forests and from colline hay meadows to xero-mesophilous grasslands and closed steppes. Our results support Hungary’s new vegetation-based landscape regions.
