Abstract

The chapter presents the most important data of the Polish Lublin Polesie. Polesie Lubelskie is a unique natural area. It is the peripheral western part of Polesie proper – a vast geographical and historical region that spans the territory of southern Belarus and northern Ukraine, and has western outposts in Poland and eastern ones in Russia. Polish Polesie is home to a great variety of species of vascular plants and bryophytes. This is influenced by the diversity of biological communities which include water, peatland, meadow, poor grassland, moor, forest, shrub, and synanthropic ecosystems. Polish Polesie has 1,305 species of vascular plants and about 200 species of bryophytes. The fauna of Polesie Lubelskie is also species-rich. Polesie Lubelskie has for many years been considered one of the most valuable natural areas in the Lublin Province and in Poland. To preserve the region's natural resources, including the diversity of natural habitats and the sites of rare species of plants, animals, and fungi, various protection measures have been taken in this area for many years
