Fizycznogeograficzne warunki rezerwatów Równiny Piotrkowskiej
Abstract
The reserves of the Piotrków Plain have been established to
protect natural forest associations. The aim of the present paper is to learn abiotic
factors of habitats within five reserves (Dęby in Meszcze, Meszcze, Lubiaszów,
Konewka and Spala) situated along the left bank of the Pilica River. On the basis
of specialistic literature, the author has characterized essential components of
epigeosphera of the Piotrków Plain region, which constitutes a wider background
of the analysed reserves. Field researches have provided materials to characterize
spatial differentiation of epigeosphera constituents as well as to distinguish and
characterize geocomplex types of reserve grounds.
