Here Left an indelible mark gigantic lake, which contained the melt water of the glacier. It's almost four millennia worked on the destruction of the moraines and ridges of eskers. He waves tirelessly triturated rocks and sand, turning them into microscopic clumps. Retreating to the lake left a rich legacy in the form of moraine ridges, have not succumbed to the blur, uneven clay bottom. It is as if scattered into many subsidiary Ozerets, who took depression – mold.

The Protected area is underlain rocks, whose age is about two billion years. Over the Western glacial valleys rise, the flattened mountain range. Rock selgi in the form of a dome formed there smooth ledges. Vypechennoe glaciers bed with crystal wavy base is covered with moraines, formed from rock fragments.

From the East and in the centre of the nature reserve Kivach is a plain, which stretches two lines of sandy ridges-eskers. Sand ridges occupy the crevices of the disappearing glacier, was formed by sediment, carried by powerful streams of strong taiga rivers.

The Swamp Civica

The Landscape of the nature Park includes the swamp. Their abodes were numerous depression. Low-lying marshy areas overgrown with grasses, herbs and aquatic vegetation, groundwater fed with surface runoff.

Rich in the Kivach reserve and raised bogs, which only to feed the precipitation. They completely sucked the dome, formed of sphagnum mosses, interspersed with Cassandra and rosemary. The swamp is so different that the chance to find two identical, as if twins, pond, no. Life forms and species diversity of each marshy area is unique.

Woodland

The Glacier disappeared, leaving the land devoid of soil. Over the gloomy sand and clay of the earth surface, striated by furrows with streams, proudly towered the mighty cliffs. It is this severity determined the shape of the newly emerging ecosystems, rapidly occupying the available pieces of space.

The Climatic conditions and soils almost devoid of humus, limited the dominance of plants in the middle taiga. The Kivach reserve became the realm of conifers. The elevation is dominated by pine, spruce mastered the slopes, basins of vanished lakes and swampy lowlands. The tops of the rocks covered pine-belomestny, soil which formed by lichens, mosses, Heather and evergreen red bilberry. Marshy areas are tight stunted pines.

In the middle of the row formed blueberry-wet habitats. Spruce forests spread across clay areas. They “ran” on the hills, forming a pine-spruce forest stands. Spruce dominates in the centre of the reserve, he hollows and logs, getting on with their spindly alder, meadowsweet and mosses, settled over bumps. In some places conifers dilutes the stand of birch and aspen. In mixed forest-home to rare, for the South-Karelian lands trees – Linden and elms.
