Szata roślinna rezerwatu „Gaik” w Puszczy Pilickiej

Abstract

In the paper the authoress has presented a geobotanical characterization of „Gaik” Reserve, estimated a preservation state of phytocoenoses as well as natural, scientific and didactic qualities, and finally, formulated utilization directions. In the reserve she has distinguished Tilio-Carpinetum stachyetosum silvaticae and T.-C. typicum, variants typicum and termophilous. In all shapes of an oak-hornbeam forest the authoress has identified degeneration phases and forms, resulting from 200 years’ utilization of the forest by man. She has pointed out the existence of 328 species of cryptogamic and vascular plants and also suggested an extension of reserve limits.
