Summary/Abstract: The book presents the characteristics of meadow and herb plants occurring in the Upper Vistula Valley. The significance of the vegetation in nature protection has been determined by the assessment of the share of protected vascular plant species and alien plant species which pose a threat to the phytocoenoses under investigation. Plant communities have been identified as Natura 2000 natural habitats and it has been proposed to create new protected areas to preserve the best-developed patches of vegetation studied.
