Klátovské rameno represents a unique lowland watercourse and, at the same time, a national nature reserve of European importance, characterised by a rich mosaic of eutrophic and mesotrophic wetland habitats.

These ecosystems support a high level of biodiversity, including more than 80 bird species as well as numerous rare plant and animal species, notably aquatic vegetation communities of the Magnopotamion and Hydrocharition types. Historically hydraulically connected to the Malý Dunaj River, the system has been subject to long-term degradation caused by alterations in the hydrological regime, sedimentation processes and anthropogenic interventions. This development highlighted the need for comprehensive expert assessment and targeted revitalisation measures.

Within the project Status improvement of wetland of Klátovské rameno NNR located in SKUEV0075, detailed hydrological, ecological and landscape-ecological analyses were therefore carried out, providing a scientific and methodological basis for the design of measures aimed at improving flow conditions, sediment dynamics and habitat diversity. An integral part of the project was the preparation of several thematic studies and guidance documents focusing on the Klátovské rameno locality, which constitute the core outputs of the project’s activities and serve as a foundation for the subsequent implementation of restoration measures.
