Grass and particularly meadow ecosystem represents a specific life community of plants and animals adjusted to ecological conditions and to the agricultural activity of man. Many meadow biotopes developed in natural habitat conditions were irrevocably destroyed in the process of fodder production, intensification and the accompanying land improvement by drainage. The preserved biotopes represent places where many plant and animal species exist, but they are also threatened by extinction. Therefore, they constitute an important link in the protection of the natural environment and its biological diversity. One of the most important refuges of waterfowl on the area of Wielkopolska are the meadows and rushes on Zgierzynieckie Lake covered by reservation protection. In the period of over 30-year monitoring studies, on the discussed area a total of 165 bird species were identified. Several species that are representative of this biotope have been covered by a detailed investigation program. These species include among others: bittern (Botaurus stelaris), crane (Grus grus), white stork (Ciconia ciconia) and goose (Anser anser), settling among others in such phytosociological associations as e.g. Typhetum angustifoliae, Phragmitetum australis, Caricetum gracilis, or Arrhenathereteum medioeuropaeum.”The Bolesław Papi Reserve on Zgierzynieckie Lake” together with the existing immediate surrounding represents a model example of a harmonious co-existence of unique elements of the natural environment and the possibility of agricultural utilisation of the adjacent areas.
