%X In this paper a case study of a shallow alkaline lake located on the edge of the Danube-Tisza Interfluve is presented. Alkaline lakes are protected by the Act on Nature Conservation (No. LIII of 1996) in Hungary. Due to the anthropogenic activities (channelization) and the consequences of climate change (decreasing precipitation), the alteration of natural habitats of the sample area was identified. Soil investigations and vegetation mapping were made in order to demonstrate the noticeable changes and to supply data about the current conditions for further monitoring and management activities. The revealed degradation processes are relatively rapid and need urgent proper water-management.
