Territorial extension (circle diameter) and proportion (circle segment) of shrub habitat types in Külső-Somogy. elements (quadrats). Occurrence of Kla is located along Jaba stream on the northern and by the side of Pogány valley on the western part. Relict stands of beech woodlands (K5 habitat type) are positioned within a small territory along the Koppány stream. Riverine and swamp woodlands (J2+J5 habitat types) influenced by permanent water table are found along the network of small streamlets. Southern and eastern parts of KülsőSomogy region are homogenous according, to the diversity of woody habitat types, the central, northern and western parts are more heterogenous by them displaying 2-5 mesic habitat types per quadrat. As for special and relative rare habitat types and groups of dry and rocky woodlands Külső-Somogy region is diverse according to them (Fig. 6). Pattern of dry woody habitat types concentrate to the central-northern-west and to southern-east parts. The major component of them is the turkey oak-sessile oak woodland (L2a). Quadrats which have medium or large cover of dry or rocky woody habitats are less diverse by habitats, quadrats which include small summarized territories of woody patches are more diverse with 2-5 habitat types per quadrat. In spatial map of shrub vegetation two types of habitats are distinguished: mesic shrub (P2a) and dry shrub (P2b) (Fig. 7), Their areal distribution pattern could be categorized into three cases. In the western part of Külső-Somogy mesic shrub vegetation patches, in the south-east part dry shrub vegetation and in the central part both of them dominates. Among shrub habitat types dry mesic shrub is spatially stronger connected with landscape pattern of dry and rocky woodlands than mesic shrub habitat type with mesic woodlands.
