Site Description
The Třeboň Wet Meadows is an LTER site of a 1 hectare area. It is a part of a wetland with the total area of 450 hectares situated in the inundation area of a large human-made reservoir (Rožmberk fishpond, 5 km2). The Wet Meadows are a predominantly herbaceous wetland with an up to several meters thick layer of organic sediment, which is superimposed on quaternary alluvial sands and clays. The vegetation cover is formed mainly by tall sedges (Carex acuta, C. vesicaria) and reed Canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea). During the last 50 years, after cessation of mowing, a distinct stand structure of hummocks and hollows has developed. The hummocks are formed by tussocks of Carex acuta. On the site, wide water level fluctuations are ...

Geology
Wet Meadows located in the T?ebo? basin which is a small depression in the southern part of Bohemian Massif. It is cretaceous basin represented by cenomanian fine sandstones and clay, turonian marls and sandstones and senonian fine sandstones and clay. The thickness of sediment is shallow with a maxima of 150m.
Vegetation
The vegetation of the Wet Meadows is formed mainly by dominant tall sedges (Carex acuta, Carex vesicaria) and hygrophytic grasses (especially Calamagrostis canescens).
Soils
Prevailing soil on the Wet Meadows is organic soils, developed on deposits of peat.
Hydrology
The Wet Meadows is situated in the inundation area of a large human-made lake (Ro?mberk fishpond, 5 km2). The water level is controlled by a system of ditches, which interconnect the man-made lakes (fishponds) in the whole region, and is thus fairly stable throughout the year. In some years, however, spring or summer floods occur as a consequence of snow melting or summer rains, respectively. Extreme floods occurred in summer 2002, 2013 and spring 2006, when water level at the site culminated at 2 m above the soil surface.
