An extreme microclimate prevails on the open sandy areas of the inland dunes in the area; in summer, temperatures can rise to as much as 50° C in places. Only specialists such as silver grass, sand sedge or spring sparkler can survive here. These pioneer plants consolidate the sand and prepare the subsoil for subsequent species.
