The average altitude is around 100 m. The site is a grazing spot and it was recently used for the reintroduction of the European ground squirrel (Spermophilus citellus) to the area after 70 years. Other important species present at the site include Vojvodina blind mole rat (Nannospalax (leucodon) montanosyrmiensis) and Spring meadow saffron (Bulbocodium versicolor).","citation":null,"relatedIdentifiers":null,"status":{"label":"Pre-operational","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/elter_cl\/10775"},"yearEstablished":2020,"yearClosed":null,"relatedSites":null,"siteName":"Sun\u010dani sala\u0161","shortName":"Sun\u010dani sala\u0161","siteType":"Stationary land-based site","protectionLevel":[{"label":"Category IV \u2013 Habitat\/Species Management Area","uri":"http:\/\/dd.eionet.europa.eu\/vocabularyconcept\/cdda\/IucnCategoryValue\/IV"}],"landUse":[{"label":"community services","uri":"https:\/\/inspire.ec.europa.eu\/codelist\/HILUCSValue\/3_3_CommunityServices"},{"label":"educational services","uri":"https:\/\/inspire.ec.europa.eu\/codelist\/HILUCSValue\/3_3_2_EducationalServices"},{"label":"land areas not in other economic use","uri":"https:\/\/inspire.ec.europa.eu\/codelist\/HILUCSValue\/6_3_1_LandAreasNotInOtherEconomicUse"},{"label":"natural areas not in other economic use","uri":"https:\/\/inspire.ec.europa.eu\/codelist\/HILUCSValue\/6_3_NaturalAreasNotInOtherEconomicUse"},{"label":"other primary production","uri":"https:\/\/inspire.ec.europa.eu\/codelist\/HILUCSValue\/1_5_OtherPrimaryProduction"},{"label":"other uses","uri":"https:\/\/inspire.ec.europa.eu\/codelist\/HILUCSValue\/6_5_AreasWithoutAnySpecifiedPlannedUse"},{"label":"primary production","uri":"https:\/\/inspire.ec.europa.eu\/codelist\/HILUCSValue\/1_PrimaryProduction"},{"label":"tertiary production","uri":"https:\/\/inspire.ec.europa.eu\/codelist\/HILUCSValue\/3_TertiaryProduction"}],"images":[{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2021-11\/Suncani_salas.jpg","alt":"Rangers working at the site"},{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2021-11\/IMG_20210608_100945%20%281%29.jpg","alt":"Drone work"},{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2021-11\/IMG_20210727_184849.jpg","alt":"Releasing a European ground squirrel"},{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2021-11\/IMG_20210728_181756.jpg","alt":"Researchers at the site"},{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2021-11\/IMG_20210907_1212111.jpg","alt":"Plant cover sampling"}]},"environmentalCharacteristics":{"airTemperature":{"yearlyAverage":10,"monthlyAverage":null,"unit":"\u00b0C","referencePeriod":null},"precipitation":{"yearlyAverage":527,"monthlyAverage":null,"unit":"mm","referencePeriod":null},"biogeographicalRegion":"continental","biome":"grasslands","ecosystemType":[{"label":"Grasslands","uri":null},{"label":"Temperate grasslands, savannas, and shrublands","uri":null}],"eunisHabitat":[{"label":"Dry grasslands (E1)","uri":null},{"label":"Grasslands and lands dominated by forbs, mosses or lichens (E)","uri":null},{"label":"Perennial calcareous grassland and basic steppes (E1.2)","uri":null}],"landforms":[{"label":"Plain","uri":null}],"geoBonBiome":["Terrestrial"],"geology":"Quartar sediments forming dunes and inter-dune depressions; loess terraces and river valley along the Kire\u0161 river.

Ground water level depth ranges between 2.5 and 5 m, with significant annual fluctuations.","soils":"Carbonate sands with 87-98% of sand particles by mass, the rest small percentage is clay. The amount of hummus depends on the degree of sand-binding, relief, and humidity, therefore in depressions is more developed comparing to dunes. According to the level of humus content, there are three types of sand: brown, black and loamy black. Small areas are covered by peat and chernozem on sand.","vegetation":"A mosaic of woodlands, open shrublands and grasslands i.e., forest-steppe. Forest stands are mostly of anthropogenic origin (black locust, pedunculate oak, black pine). Great structural diversity of plant communities, markedly those that belong to fragile ecosystems, with more than 20 phytocenoses of wetland, meadow, sand, steppe and forest vegetation. Among the preserved natural rarities, a relict forest-steppe saffron (Bulbocodium versicolor) is of particular value. This is the only site in Serbia with this plant species. Remaining natural forests are mostly White and Black poplar poplar."},"geographic":{"boundaries":"POLYGON ((19.695795603479 46.175416767522, 19.696789589543 46.177474250177, 19.696814450259
