EVALUATION OF REGIONAL DIVERSIFICATION IN SOWN AREA STRUCTURE IN THE CONTEXT OF IMPACT ON THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

In recent years many important changes have taken place in Polish agriculture. The aim of the paper was to determine the diversity of the structure of sown area in the voivodships and its potential impact on the natural environment. Crop diversity was assessed by using the Shannon-Wiener (H) index. With the Pielou (J) index was also analyzed crop uniformity of the area under each species in sown area. The analysis shows that the least varied sowing area structure is characterized by Opolskie, Dolnośląskie and Podlaskie voivodships. On the other hand, the highest values of the assessed indicators were noted in the Świętokrzyskie, Lubuskie, Warmińsko-Mazurskie and Lubelskie voivodships. The cluster analysis allowed for the separation of three homogenous groups of voivodships. In the cluster I was the Opolskie, Dolnośląskie and Opolskie voivodships, which are characterized by the least environmentally-friendly structure of sown area. In cluster II was the largest number of voivodships characterized by indirect values of the assessed indicators. In the cluster III were Lubelskie, Świetokrzyskie, Warmińsko-Mazurskie, Wielkopolskie and Lubuskie voivodships, which had the highest values of evaluated parameters.<br/><br/>
