Abstract
There had just been a very few floristical and coenological researches for almost half a century in the region of the River Dráva and the lower part of the River Danube in Hungary. Our resent researches however have achieved some very encouraging results. There are some important reasons for continuing these: Considerable part of the region became protected area some years ago but we have just a few of information about its vegetation and flora now. Getting to know more about this flood area is also important because this is the only area in Hungary that almost avoided all the human impact. Moreover some new water power plants are under planning in the near Croatian which can change the whole ecosystem in the region along the rivers. In addition to the classical vegetation and flora surveys we are planning some long term monitoring studies to reveal the impact of these power plants and to describe the natural processes in the gallery plant communities in natural succession.
