This study was a foundational site investigation for the detailed planning of the Kunda harbor area, involving a survey of herbaceous and protected plants.

Historically, the area surrounding the city of Kunda has been significantly affected by cement dust pollution. This pollution has notably altered environmental conditions, impacting both acidity and nutrient content of the soil. The continuous decrease and now almost complete disappearance of the alkaline dust pollution is likely a significant factor in the changes observed in the plant habitats in the study area.
