Meadow vegetation as a phase of secondary succession in the former village area in the Bieszczady Mountains – example of Łopienka valley
Journal Title: Roczniki Bieszczadzkie - Year 2013, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper is aimed to evaluation of stability and prognosis of succession dynamics of abandoned rural landscape of the Łopienka valley in Cisna-Wetlina Landscape Park, Western Bieszczady Mts., based on the floristic and phytosociological data. Traditional agriculture on this area has been ceased, as well as later pastoral use. Consequently, meadows were transformed into the attractive tourist element of the valley. The results of the research were compared to those available from the Bieszczady National Park
