Summary
The Pannonian region is dominated by the Great Hungarian Plain.
Former extensive forests are replaced by grasslands and steppes. Sandy grasslands, i. e. the Hungarian Puszta, is now the dominating type of habitat.
Agriculture, drainage, eutrophication and salinisation are major threats to biodiversity.
River regulation and effluents in river are imposing threats to biodiversity in water bodies.
A few large lakes are heavily influenced by eutrophication and tourist activities.
