The coastal zone shows hard dark stones, granite, schist and thick soil mantle.
2.
Unique habitats are found on alvars, extremely level expanses of limestone with thin soil mantles.
3.
Because of the thin soil mantle and high pH levels, a great assortment of vegetation is found including numerous rare species.
4.
There are few rock outcrops, and the hillsides are characterized by gentle slopes that are covered with a thick soil mantle.
5.
Here the thin soil mantle is only 0.5 to 2.0 centimeters thick in most places and in many extents consists of exposed limestone slabs.
6.
Landslide in which the sliding surface is located within the soil mantle or weathered bedrock ( typically to a depth from few decimetres to some metres ) is called a shallow landslide.
7.
Finally a thin soil mantle ( only two centimeters at the deepest ) was formed by plant colonisation of the bare limestone and some wind driven deposition, to create the alvar formation of the present.
