The study aimed to determine the long-term changes of the Senecio macrophyllus M.BIEB. population traits: the abundance, reproduction mode, individual fecundity, seed rain and recruitment of new genets in the course of xerothermic grassland overgrowing. The study had also the applied goal: to estimate the chances of "special care" species to survive in the changing environment without management regime for the maintenance of grassland. The model object was the island population of large-leaved ragwort on Biała Góra (the White Mountain) near Tomaszów Lubelski, South-East Poland. To achieve these aims I used the following sets of data: phytosociological relev,s made in plant communities in an interval of 16-18 years; repeated elaboration of the numbers and life-stage structure of the population, both by non-surface and surface method; observation of plants, life cycle in 50 labelled genets; population reproduction and seed rain amounts. The area of an open xerothermic grassland decreased due to the process of overgrowing by bushes which was accompanied by the increasing coverage of forest and meadow herbs as well as monocotyledons, mainly Brachypodium pinnatum and Calamagrostis epigejos. The abundance of the S. macrophyllus population noticable diminished. The flowering mode has been changing during years from an oscillation to a chaotic type which caused the significant decreasing of the individual fecundity, population reproduction and seed rain. In last years it was reflected in the interruption of juveniles’ recruitment.
Chamaecytisus albus (Hacq.) Rothm. is an extremely rare species, which is inserted in many European red lists and red books. Its continuous range covers the south-eastern part of Europe. That species grows in intensely insolated and calcareous habitats of xerothermic grasslands. Only one station of White Broom had been known in the valley of the Bug river, near Hrubieszów, but in 2007 a new one was discovered near Jędrzejów. That station is located the farthest in the north and the west in Europe and it is completely detached from the continuous range.
In 2006, ca. 60 individuals of Gentiana cruciata were found in the Strzyżowskie Foothills. Until recently, only one locality of the species in the area has been reported from Kołaczyce in the Wisłoka River valley by Knapp in the 19th century. The new locality is situated in the Wielopolka River valley on an S-SW-W slope with varied inclination. In total, 16 phytosociological relevés were taken with the use of the Braun-Blanquet method in patches comprising Gentiana cruciata. The patches were characterised by high proportions of species from the classes Molinio-Arrhenathereta, Festuco-Brometea, and Trifolio-Geranietea. Given the dominance of meadow species, the community was classified as a thermophilic fresh meadow from the alliance Arrhenatherion. An upward trend was noted in the analysed population, as the number of the individuals increased to ca. 160 in 2014
The article presents the results of floristic investigations conducted in 2012–2014 in the Natura 2000 area “Łąki nad Wojkówką” (PLH 180051) situated in the Dynowskie Foothills. The area was established with the aim of conservation of thermophilic meadow complexes with fragments of xerothermic grasslands, which are extremely rare in the Carpathians. The vascular flora comprises 252 species from 49 families and 166 genera. Native spontaneophytes (45.7%) and apophytes (44.8%) dominated over anthropophytes (9.5%), and perennial species (85.3%) dominated over short-lived (14.7%) species. Thermophilic species of dry grasslands and scrubs were represented by the classes Festuco-Brometea, Trifolio-Geranietea, and Rhamno-Prunetea. Fresh meadow plants from the class Molinio-Arrhenatheretea were most frequently noted in the flora composition, while ruderal species from the class Artemisietea vulgaris had a substantial share. The occurrence of protected species e.g. Centaurium erythraea, Dianthus armeria, and Gentiana cruciata should also be noted.

The aim of this study was to characterise the flora and plant communities in the Moryńskie Hills, Poland. A total of 45 transects and 23 phytosociological relevés were established. Plant communities were identified based on the description of the test patch of the vegetation cover. The paper presents floristic analyses of vascular plants, which includes the taxonomic affiliation of species, their life forms according to Raunkiaer, and the species share in the geographical and historical groups. The results have been compiled and presented in tables and graphs, with a brief discussion. The non-forest communities occupy the largest area: xerothermic swards, meadows and pastures and to a lesser extent, scrub communities. Forests are represented by a riparian slope elm-ash wood Violo odoratae-Ulmetum minoris.
The study analyses the quantity and spatial structure of the seed bank of the xerothermic grassland located in the Biała Góra near Tomaszów Lubelski (Central Roztocze Region). The seed stock of the bank was compared with the vegetation found in two different patches of the examined grassland. The number of seeds per square meter was estimated at 5328 and 5355, depending on the patch. The seed bank's spatial organisation is clustered. The most important factors determining this spatial distribution are: remaining of the seeds in close vicinity of parent plants, and the "group" dispersal of the seeds and fruits.
The population of Adonis vernalis in the Niecka Nidziańska basin has been described. The distribution of its resources, habitat requirements, threats and possibilities of protection are discussed. The occurrence of the species at 73 localities is confirmed. The development and persistence of the entire population depend on the dynamics of natural phytocoenoses in which grows. Resources, surface areas and development dynamics differ in individual subpopulations. Guidelines for collecting Adonis vernalis herb as a pharmacological material are given. Despite the number of the localities, the plant is under threat by overgrowing with bushes and resulting changes in light conditions as well as by frequent and excessive burning of xerothermic grasslands.
Occurrence of rare and protected plant species is regarded as a strong argument for creating a protected area. It is therefore especially important to know whether rare and protected species are reliable indicators of abundance of other, more common, unprotected species. We analysed co-occurrence of protected and rare species with other xerothermic plant species in calcareous xeric grassland in Western Poland. In the years 2005–2006, on 62 plots (25 m² each) we identified vascular plants on a 60 km² area in the Odra R. Valley and its smaller tributaries valleys. Legally protected species appeared not to be better indicators of xerothermic species richness than non-protected species. The rarest species (Anthericum liliago L., Carex supina Willd. ex Wahlenb. and Stipa borysthenica Klokov ex Prok.) were significantly less useful indicators of xerothermic species richness than other rare and common species. These results let us conclude that designing a network of protected areas on the basis of rare and protected species may result that some common species, biodiversity hotspots or well developed phytocenoses will be ignored.
We compared seed longevity of herbaceous species in three habitat types differing in stability. We hypothesized that seed longevity is the lowest for forest species (living in stable habitat), the highest for weeds, while species of xerothermic grasslands take an intermediate value. Ten species were selected from each of the three habitats with balanced representation of plant families among habitats. Seeds of the 30 species were deep buried at 65 cm depth, then replicates recovered after 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 years, and germinated in an unheated greenhouse. Weeds expressed the highest germination rate (36.1% in average) exceeding forest (14.4%) and grassland species (10.2%) which did not differ significantly. The number of species with transient, short-term persistent and long-term persistent seed bank, respectively, was 1, 7 and 2 for grasslands; 1, 3 and 6 for forests; and 0, 1 and 9 for weeds. As expected, weeds possessed the highest seed longevity. Contrary to our assumption, low seed longevity was not the norm among forest understorey species, and seed longevity of xerothermic grassland species was not intermediate but the shortest one. Ecological background of differences between hypotheses and experimental results are discussed. First record on seed bank type is reported here for 12 species: Dianthus pontederae, Digitalis grandiflora, Ferula sadleriana, Hieracium sylvaticum, Inula ensifolia, Jurinea mollis, Lychnis coronaria, Saponaria officinalis, Scorzonera austriaca, Secale sylvestre, Stipa borysthenica, Verbascum lychnitis.

72%
The authors present a first record of Flammulina ononidisin Poland. This species was characterized in respect of macro- and micromorphological features, which were illustrated with the original figures and photographs. The habitat conditions of the recorded site were also described. A short discussion concerning the similar species and the ecology and threats of presented fungus species is provided.
Xeromesophilous grasslands of the alliance Cirsio-Brachypodion pinnati were studied in valleys of the Lower Odra and Płonia rivers. These ecosystems have been included in the Habitats Directive. The preservation state of vegetation, threats to it and the methods of its protection are presented. Results of this study show that Cirsio-Brachypodion in the examined area is represented by the association Adonido-Brachypodietum, and plant community with Salvia pratensis. Adonido-Brachypodietum develops in a typical form and in two variants: Anthericum liliago and A. ramosum. The major threat to these grasslands is posed by plant succession. An effective method of their protection is a return to traditional methods of farming, i.e. to moderate, alternate grazing or hay harvesting.
The research, in 2004, was focused on the whole population of Anemone sylvestris (Snowdrop Windflower) present in the area of a kettle hole (0.8 km2) in north-eastern Poland (52°50’00’’N; 23°11’20’’E). The location of 56 clumps of generative specimens was surveyed. They numbered from several to approx. 1500 specimens. The number of generative specimens in this population exceeded 10 000. On account of this, it is a unique stand of A. sylvestris in Poland. The relationship between the occurrence of the Snowdrop Windflower and the presence of kame hills and ridges has been proven. Low slopes of kame with an inclination of 10-20o, and a north-eastern or eastern exposition has been found as the local ecological optimum for this species. Research carried out in 1970-2001 on 5 permanent plots (25 m2 each) has shown that: 1) Anemone sylvestris is an essential element of xerothermic grasslands of the order Festucetalia valesiacae; 2) the species suddenly withdraws from the parts of land on which woody species have already reached the shrub layer; 3) the greatest danger for the population of A. sylvestris in this area is the process of secondary succession initiated by the discontinuation of grazing on the kame hills.
Kamienny Grzbiet Ridge is a small hill situated in the Ślęża Massif, built of serpentine rocks. The subjects of the researchwere vascular flora of grassland community Viscario-Avenuletum pratensis Oberd. 1949 developed in small areas near serpentine quarries and vascular flora of fields covering almostt he whole hill. 82 grassland and 76 weed species have been found there. Particularly interesting are: Avenula pratensis, Orobanche caryophyllea, Carduus nutans and Vicia pannonica ssp. pannonica.
Seslerio uliginosae-Scorzoneretum purpureae is the only xerothermic community of the Festuco-Brometea class, where a rare species known as Sesleria uliginosa occurs in Poland. A couple of sites hosting this association in the Nida Basin were described in the 1920s and 1950s. All these stands are now situated in the areas designated as xerothermic nature reserves. The study aimed at describing the present-day characteristics of this rare association, the most likely being endemic in Poland, as well as the changes that have occurred in it. The species diversity and the contribution of xerothermic plants have decreased significantly in terms of their number and cover coefficient. Some of the diagnostic species of the association have become extremely rare. Sesleria uliginosa is the only one without visible changes in their dominant position in the community. Mosses, that have played a significant role before, were among the vanished species. At the same time, an increase in number and cover of mesophilous meadows species was observed. Mesophilous grasses belong to the group of species growing in significance in the phytocoenoses. The observed changes in species composition were reflected in a statistically significant increase of nitrogen indicator value. The slow process of succession observed in the Seslerio-Scorzoneretum purpureae could be attributed to the lack of appropriate land use, e.g. mowing and grazing that have been ceased in the nature reserves.
A new locality of Orobanche coerulescens Stephan ex Willd. in the Wyżyna Małopolska upland (Garb Pińczowski hummock) in central Poland is presented. Over 290 specimens were recorded in a xerothermic grassland of the class Festuco-Brometea comprising species of the class Koelerio glaucae-Corynephoretea canescentis on alkaline, sandy soil. O. coerulescens is extinct at the majority of its localities in Poland and only two localities are known at present.
Communities of bees (Apiformes) were studied in the Wolin National Park in 2002-2003. The Park is located on the island of Wolin in northwestern Poland, at the southern coast of the Baltic Sea. In total, 133 bee species were recorded there in various habitats. This study shows that the major role in protection of bee communities is played by xerothermic and sandy grasslands. They are distinguished by the highest species diversity of Apiformes, including Anthophora bimaculata and its nest parasite Ammobates punctatus (rare in mainland Poland). In contrast, coastal grey dunes support mostly bumblebees, including cuckoo bumblebees.
