The research was carried out in the following 9 mesoregions of northem Poland, located on either side of the Vistula: Cassubian Coast, Cassubian Lakeland, Elbląg Plateaux, Górowo Plateaux, Ermelandic Plain, Iława Lakeland, Vistula Delta, Starogard Lakeland and Lower Vistula Valley. Atotal of 11 cropfield-weed communities have been distinguished and described. Those found in cereal crops included: Teesdaleo-Arnoseridetum, Papavereturn argemones, a transition community between Vicietum tetraspermae and Aphano-Matric.:arietum, AphanoMatric.:arietum, Lathyro-Melandrietum and Spergulo-Chrysanthemetum segeti. In root crops the oceurrenee was found of: Digitarietum isc.:haemii, Ec.:hinoc.:hlooSetarietum, Lamio-Veronic.:etum politae, Galinsogo-Setarietum, Fumarietum officinalis and Spergulo-Chrysanthemetum segeti. Due to the presence in the patches of most communities, especially root crop communities, of many common species, they show a number of similarities, floristie and structural.
