The traditional land use has almost completely disappeared from the southern shore areas; however the remnants of valuable wetlands are still represented. our study area, the Balatonkeresztúri-rétek, is a highlighted nature conservation area and natura 2000 site. its land-use changes can represent the shifts of the whole marshland area of the southern shore. in our study the landscape history and the changes in land cover as an indicator of land use were followed up. the changes in land use were analyzed based on the surface covering data of historical maps and recent orthophotos using arcgiS (eSri) software. Each habitat of the study area was classified to the appropriate category of ÁNÉR (Hungarian General National Habitat Classification System). The changes in surface cover was compared and rated based on their naturalness status. our results revealed, that the former, deep situated marshes, which were spotted with open water surfaces were replaced by reed stands characterized with different, mostly degraded status. the remnants of the original marsh vegetation and species have found refuge the pits of canals and peat or clay mines. the terms of existence of the natural vegetation mostly disappeared until nowadays, however some valuable habitats survived in the study area, thanks to the human activities.

We present the landscape changes between 1900 and 2013 of the Nagyberek, a huge, former marshy area along the south bank of Lake Balaton, with the help of the DPSIR Framework. We analysed the causal relations of driving forces, which induce landscape changes, and the change of habitat states from the nature conservation point of view. Our results show that the introduction of large-scale farming during the 1950-80s was the main driving force. The changes caused by the disruption of the natural water balance were too drastic and the ecosystem could not adapt to the new circumstances. The rapid changes also altered the self-identity of inhabitants and their relationship with the landscape. Landscape changes were analysed from the conservation biologist point of view. Accordingly the responses of the DPSIR Framework were selected from those laws and programmes which concern nationally and internationally important habitats. We argue that the DPSIR Framework can be used successfully to study the impact of pressures to analyse habitat and landscape changes in a complex way.

Altogether, 72 protected and 1 strictly protected species were recorded. 9 species (Menyanthes trifoliata, Ophioglossum vulgatum, Anacamptis pyramidalis, Gymnadenia conopsea, Platanthera bifolia, Linum hirsutum, Aster amellus, Eleocharis uniglumis and Agrostemma githago) are new for the local flora.

A 2008-2009. évi vizsgálataink igazolták a C. bidentata mellett a C. heros előfordulását a Kőszegi-hegység számos vízfolyásában, ami fontos új ismeret volt a faj előfordulása szempontjából, valamint igazoltuk a két faj azonos vízrendszerben való előfordulását is. Ez alapján joggal feltételezhettük, hogy más, korábban csupán a C. bidentata élőhelyeként számon tartott területről előkerülhet a C. heros is. A 2010-2011. évben a Bakony területére is kiterjesztettük vizsgálatainkat és több vízfolyásban sikerült kimutatnunk a C. herost, illetve mindkét faj előfordulását rögzítettük ugyanazon vízfolyás eltérő szakaszain
