Other Site Characteristics

Kooraste Kõvvõrjärve loodusala hõlmab Kooraste järvede hulka kuuluv Kõvverjärve, mille veepeegli pindala 12,2 ha, keskmine sügavus 4,0 m ja suurim sügavus 10,1 m. Kõvvõrjärve pikkus on 650 m, laius 330 m ja kaldajoone pikkus 1992 m. Veevahetus on väga nõrk – alla 0,5 korda aastas. Kõvvõrjärve kaldad on peamiselt kõrged ja kaetud metsaga. Lõunast ulatub pikalt järve poolsaar. Järve lääneosas on kallas õõtsikuline. Kõvvõrjärv on lähtejärv, mis toitub peamiselt allikatest.

4.2 Quality and importance

Kooraste Kõvvõrjärve loodusalal esinev Kooraste Kõvverjärv kuulub looduslikult rohketoiteliste järvede (3150) elupaigatüüpi. Järvekooslus on väga hea esinduslikkusega ja looduskaitselise seisundiga.
