Other Site Characteristics

Rahaaugu loodusala asub Raplamaal ning ala pindala on ca 470 ha. Loodusala piirneb lõunas põllumajandusmaastiku ja suvilatega, põhjas metsadega. Kõlvikuliselt moodustab loodusalast põhiosa tugeva kuivendusmõjuga majandatav sega- ja okasmets. Ala kesk- ja lõunaosas, Angerja oja kallastel leidub soostunud niite ja soid. Mitmekesine loodusmaastik on heaks elupaigaks saarmale (Lutra lutra), eesti soojumikale (Saussurea alpina ssp. esthonica) ja must-toonekurele (Ciconia nigra).

4.2 Quality and importance

Rahaaugu loodusalal kaitstavad elupaigatüübid on jõed ja ojad (3260), niiskuslembesed kõrgrohustud (6430), lamminiidud (6450), siirde- ja õõtsiksood (7140), liigirikkad madalsood (7230), vanad loodusmetsad (*9010), rohunditerikkad kuusikud (9050), siirdesoo- ja rabametsad (*91D0) ning lammi-lodumetsad (*91E0). Ala keskosas asuvate lamminiitude ja liigirikaste madalsoode esinduslikkus ja looduskaitseline seisund on arvestatav. Metsaelupaikadel varieeruv (arvestatavast kuni väga heani). Pindalaliselt on loodusalal metsaelupaikadest rohunditerikkaid kuusikuid. Mitmekesised vee ja sooelupaigad loovad hea elupaiga saarmale (Lutra lutra) ja eesti soojumikale (Saussurea alpina ssp. esthonica).Nabala-Tuhala looduskaitsealaUnikaalne maa-aluste jõegede võrgustik. Tegemist on loodusliku nitraaditundliku alaga ehk avatud karstiga. Kartsialal voolab kaheksa maa-alust jõge, millest kuus avaneb Paekna allikajärves. Salajõgede kohal esinevad orud, nõod, järved, kurisud ja allikad moodustavad huvitava karstimaastiku. Nabala karstialaga on seotud neli suuremat jõge - Keila, Vääna, Pääsküla ja Pirita. Piirkonna suuremad karstialad - Nabala, Kuimetsa, Tuhala - on maa-aluste vooluteedega üksteisega seotud. Toitealaks on Mahtra soostik. Nabala karstiala kuulub Ülemiste järve vesikonda.
