You use mainly eyes to experience the world around you, just like other people. This atlas of plants in Poland was created with you in mind. Every species is accompanied by a good number of photographs to make it easy for you to recognise it. Over the years, the author of the atlas and its contributing associates have taken many thousand of photos. I have carefully selected from that number those few thousand that will prove to be the biggest help in your floristic professional work or hobby. You can purchase a Professional Version of the atlas, which is the most up-to-date edition on DVD - containing the same or even more recent material than the WWW site. ...

The flora of Poland in the 20th century has been listed in full in only three publications. None of these is adequate as a species checklist for the present territory of Poland. The nomenclature used in these works has also lost much of its currency. The present checklist covers the whole of the vascular flora of Poland. It includes all native species and established alien species, as well as ephemerophytes (mainly according to ROSTAŃSKI and SOWA 1986–1987) and species often cultivated in Poland. Not included were sporadic fugitives from cultivated areas. The alphabetical list of taxa includes about 6,000 Latin names and over 4,000 Polish names of all (about 2,750) species of vascular plants occurring in our country. Apart from currently binding Polish and Latin names, the most important synonyms in both languages are also included. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
European Dry Grassland Meetings (EDGM) constitute the cycle of the European Dry Grassland Group conferences devoted to dry grassland of Europe. They have been organized since 2004. The 10th EDGM in 2013 will be held in Poland – the country laying in the area where two different types of climate meet – the mild oceanic with the severe continental one. This has substantial influence on the grasslands in Poland, and shapes their vegetation, flora and fauna. That is why the grasslands in the region have the unique character. Unfortunately, they all share the same problems. Both in Poland as well as in the rest of Europe, have come in the past few decades under threat from intensified agriculture and the consequent changes in land usage, the loss of extensive grazing, which brought about natural succession, afforestation, ploughing and turning into arable land. Other detrimental processes include the eutrophization of the grasslands and interference from alien species linked to negative changes in abiotic conditions. In the light of the serious threats several important question arise: How to protect them? What we need to secure for a long lasting persistence of the habitat? How should we cooperate? These are the questions which we want to ask in Zamość in May 2013. If you want to participate at the meeting please register via the online form. ... [Information of the supplier]
