The Importance of Groundwater Quality and Other Habitat Parameters for Effective Active Protection of an Endangered Plant Species in Eastern Poland

Anthropogenic habitat transformations involving changes in hydrologic conditions the peatlands of eastern Poland contribute to disappearance sites numerous relict plant species. The study aimed verify whether chosen for reintroduction endangered species Salix lapponum had been well selected by analyzing parameters and determining their values may long term have a significant impact on functioning new populations results obtained at where S. population was replenished with individuals were analyzed relation data from one natural Hydrochemical characterization groundwater confirmed that there no influx nutrients into or other hydrological disturbances due human activity. factors tested within limits specific preferences Changes some physical-chemical water ecosystem’s internal metabolism, site highest hydrochemical stability occurred naturally. composition structure phytocoenoses all characteristic showed caused impact. microbiological analyses indicated normal soil processes. biocoenotic habitat, including balance soil, which free pathogenic fungi, should positive effect condition reintroduced plants.
