Abstract The present study reports new localities of four liverwort species, i.e., Fossombronia foveolata Lindb., Gymnocolea inflata (Huds.) Dumort., Leiomylia anomala (Hook.) J.J. Engel & Braggins and Odontoschisma denudatum (Mart.) Dumort., found in Central Poland. The new sites are situated in peat bog habitats and swamp forest in the depression cone of lignite opencast mine near Bełchatów in Central Poland. All of the reported species are very rare and have only few localities in Central Poland.

Ecological and sociological spectrum ofOstericum palustreat new localities in central PolandThe paper presents new data on the distribution ofOstericum palustre(a strictly protected vulnerable species) in central Poland. In the period of 2008-2009, new population of this species were found in the north-eastern part of Łódź Province.Ostericum palustrewas present in the described localities in meadow, herb, peat bog and reed bed communities. The species was most numerous in well preserved purple moor-grass meadows. New localities ofOstericum palustredescribed in the article are instrumental in the protection of this species in central Poland.

We provide information about two species, <em>Pilosella bauhinii</em> and <em>P. cymosa</em> subsp. <em>vaillantii</em> (Asteraceae), from new localities in north-central Poland (ATPOL DC18). All individuals of both species grew on a railway embankment in Górzno-Lidzbark Landscape Park. The ecological preferences for <em>P. cymosa</em> and <em>P. bauhinii</em> estimated according to average Ellenberg values nearly coincided with the original description of Ellenberg. We also sequenced the barcode marker, plastid <em>trnH-psbA</em> intergenic spacer, for two individuals of <em>P. bauhinii</em>, three specimens of <em>P. cymosa</em> subsp. <em>vaillantii</em>, and additionally two individuals of <em>P. officinarum</em> L. and one <em>H. murorum</em> L. growing in close proximity. A pairwise comparison of <em>trnH-psbA</em> sequences showed that each species has a unique haplotype. Taking into account their morphological coherence, it is possible that both <em>P. bauhinii</em> and <em>P. cymosa</em> have not hybridized yet, at least locally, with the more abundant species (e.g., <em>P. officinarum</em>). A search for reference sequences did not provide additional information because of the low quality of the reference database for this group in GenBank. Only 14 sequences of <em>trnH-psbA</em> were available with some apparently being misidentified or of low quality. None were identical to sequences of <em>P. cymosa</em> subsp. <em>vaillantii</em> and <em>P. bauhinii</em> found in this study.

Abstract Cleats (fractures, joints) are discontinuities in coals, including lignites. They are important in mining activity because of their gas and water permeability in hard coal, and mainly because of their water permeability in lignites. As opposed to hard-coal cleats, lignite cleats have not been studied in detail before. The present contribution does so, using as an example the 1st Middle-Polish Lignite Seam (MPLS-1) in the Jóźwin IIB opencast mine in central Poland. It should be mentioned here that any remarks in the present contribution concerning MPLS-1 refer exclusively to this lignite seam in the Jóźwin IIB opencast mine. The investigated discontinuities consist of two sets, i.e. the face and butt cleats, which are roughly oriented NW-SE and NE-SW, respectively. The mean spacing of the face cleats is ~12.4 cm, while the mean spacing of the butt cleats is ~12.8 cm. The maximum average aperture is ~4.9 mm for the face cleats and ~4.1 mm for the butt cleats. The cleat spacing and aperture do not depend on the lignite thickness, but the cleat spacing increases with increasing mineral-matter and xylite content, whereas the aperture increases when the contents decrease. The regional folding and local salt diapirism tentatively explain the formation of the orthogonal system of the lignite cleats, partly because of the parallelism of the face cleats and the major tectonic directions in central Poland.

Declining Species

Three new sites of <em>Orobanche arenaria</em> were discovered during floristic investigations in the Wyżyna Małopolska upland in central Poland. The new localities are concentrated in the Ponidzie area (Garb Pińczowski ridge and Niecka Połaniecka basin) and form the northern limit of the geographical range of <em>O. arenaria</em>. The paper presents information on the distribution of <em>Orobanche arenaria</em> in Poland, the abundance at the sites and habitats occupied by the species.

Special Area

Special area of conservation of the Natura 2000 Pakoslaw includes peat bog (about 400 ha) and forest fragment on a neighboring hill nature reserve (28.55 ha). There are 4 species of plants: <em>Adenophora liliifolia, Ligularia sibirica, Liparis loeselii, Ostericum palustre</em> and several types of natural habitats, among others: wet meadows, transitional peat-bog, thermophilous oak forest, which requires the protection of the European Union Habitats Directive. In the peat bog flora, numbering 296 species, are present glacial relicts. The aim of study was to investigate the current status of flora and vegetation and the direction and pace of change as the basis for the active protection. This paper describes the geological, hydrological and anthropogenic environmental factors and their impact on the flora and plant communities. Particular attention was paid to accelerate the process of secondary and progressive ecological succession during the last 50 years, resulting in displacement of grasses and sedges communities willow thickets and later by alder swamp forest. Species and natural habitats of the site are threatened and need to improve their conservation status.

Distribution And Ecology

New localities of <em>Rinodina degeliana</em> in Poland are described. The morphology, chemistry, distribution and ecology of the species are discussed and characters that help to differentiate <em>R. degaliana</em> from similar lichens are presented. The species is relatively frequent in lime-hornbeam forests of northern and central Poland.
