Vardi nature reserve encompasses one of the few remaining alvar forests in Estonia, an unusual landscape type today as cut-down forests normally never recover. The soil in Vardi layer reaches only a maximum of 30 centimetres (12 in), creating a sensitive biotope dominated by pine, juniper, rowan, honeysuckle and a few other species.[2]
