Decline of Potentillo albae-Quercetum Libb. 1933 phytocoenoses in Poland

The historical process of the decline of the thermophilous oak forest was studied at 11 selected localities within the whole area of the association in Poland. The comparative analysis of phytosociological data from the periods of 1929–1981 and 1987–1991 has shown the total decline of Potentillo albae-Quercetum at nine localities as well as symptoms of regression at two localities. It has been stated that in Eastern Pomerania and in Greater Poland in the places of Potentillo albae-Quercetum phytocoenoses the communities of Galio-Carpinetum and Calamagrostio-Quercetum have appeared. In the central, north-east, south-east and southern part of the country, the thermophilous oak forest has changed into Tilio-Carpinetum phytocoenoses. The results of the study indicate that the recession of Potentillo albae-Quercetum is taking place in the whole area of the association in Poland. The size of the area is changing, the number of localities is decreasing. The consequence of the thermophilous oak forest decline is the unification and impoverishment of woodland vegetation and flora. These localities of the association which exist up to date are ‘refuges’ for many interesting helio- and thermophilous species. Their presence to a great extent determines the genetic pool and diversity of Polish flora.

ŚWIETLISTA DĄBROWA POTENTILLO ALBAE-QUERCETUM LIBBERT 1933 NOM. INVERS. W ŚRODKOWEJ CZĘŚCI WYŻYNY KRAKOWSKO-CZĘSTOCHOWSKIEJ

The paper presents the results of phytosociological research on the thermophilous oak forest Potentillo albae-Quercetum Libbert 1933 nom. invers., which has been carried out in the central part of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. The association, which has been stated in 7 localities, is a new type of forest vegetation in this region. On the basis of 35 relevés, made in 2001 following the Braun-Blanquet method, the only subassociation P.a.-Q. brachypodietosum pinnati has been distinguished. It has been divided into two variants: with Pleurozium schreberi (on acid sites), and with Asarum europaeum (on basic ones). The investigated phytocoenoses abound in floristic peculiarities, such as: Adenophora liliifolia, Bupleurum longifolium, Euphorbia angulata, Festuca amethystina ssp. ritschlii, Lilium martagon, Potentilla alba.
