description | Orchidaceae are considered one of the largest and most endangered plant
families worldwide. We analyzed the status of conservation of orchid sites
in Central Poland, which serves as a model area for heavily transformed
environments in moderate climate. In the area under study, 26 orchid species
from 54 taxa existing in Poland were reported, 17 of them with fewer than 20
localities, 59% of which have not been confirmed since 2000. Spatial
analysis of all localities has shown that Central Poland exhibits
considerable diversity as regards the incidence of Orchidaceae. It has been
shown that contemporary protection methods have failed to prevent the demise
of these species in forest, meadow and bog habitats, which incidentally
comprised most of those whose localities have been unconfirmed since 2000. |
