Thousands of species are associated with reed beds, making them real centers of biodiversity. They improve water quality, play an important role in the material circulation of water, help replenish groundwater sources, protect banks from erosion and significantly reduce the effects of floods. Due to the elimination of shallow stagnant waters, they are among the most vulnerable ecosystems in Europe. Great Rye Island, Slovakia.
