  The present study discusses the community relations of the oak-ash-elm woodlands (Fraxino pannonicae-Ulmetum Soó in Aszód 1935 corr. Soó 1963) of the Middle-Tisza region based on 20 coenological recordings. This is an azonal association moderately influenced by groundwater. Its stands represent an impoverished form compared with the woodlands of the Upper-Tisza region. How­ever, its noteworthy species include the following: Acer platanoides, A. pseudoplatanus, A. tataricum, Aegopodium podagraria, Arum orientale, Carduus crispus, Carex remota, C. sylvatica, Carpinus betulus, Cephalanthera longifolia, Cerasus avium, Corydalis cava, Dryopteris carthusiana, D. filix-mas, Elymus caninus, Epipactis helleborine agg., Fagus sylvatica, Gagea lutea, Hedera helix, Fraxinus angustifolia ssp. danubialis, Melica altissima, Moehringia trinervia, Myosotis sparsiflora, Neottia nidus-avis, Ornithogalum brevistylum, Padus avium, Platanthera bifolia, Ranunculus auricomus, Ribes rubrum, Stachys sylvatica, Tilia platyphyllos, T. tomentosa, Ulmus laevis, Viburnum opulus, Viola reichenbachiana stb.

  The hay meadows and protective forest strips of the Kámon and Herény source water protection areas in the northwestern part of Szombathely have been in good natural condition for decades. By harbouring populations of protected plant species (Orchis morio, Pyrola rotundifolia, Cephalanthera longifolia, Epipactis helleborine and Ophioglossum vulgatum), these areas resemble natural habitats found nearby in the Kőszeg Mountains and the Őrség National Park.  The good semi-natural condition can be attributed to the lack of regular mowing in the case of meadows and the lack of disturbance in the case of forest strips. In recent years, however, the area have been exposed to increasing human disturbance (car and motorcycle off-roading), so it may be timely to initiate legal protection. This short case study indicates that properly managed source water protection areas can play an important role in the conservation of semi-natural habitats, rare and protected plant species and the associated fauna.
