Siedliska przyrodnicze w ramach sieci Natura 2000 na obszarze doliny strumienia Stróżewskiego (woj. Zachodniopomorskie)

Abstract

After the accession of Poland to European Union new formal regulations concerning nature conservation came into force. The applied legal documents are: 1) 92/43/EWG Council Directive from the 21st May of 1992, known as Habitat Directive and 2) 2009/147/WE Council Directive from 30th November 2009 so called Bird Directive. The Habitat Directive covers the protection of natural habitats and wild fauna and flora. The lack of proper analysis of natural habitats of StróŜewski Stream Valley according to recent formal standards and their protection urges was the cause for undertaking detailed studies on the topic. The natural habitats were appointed after the phytosociological studies toward the lowland during the research period (2007–2009). The main identifiers were plant assemblages with adequate PHYSIS codes. There were 10 valuable natural sites identified and coded on the area of the StróŜewski Stream lowland, representing aquatic, waterside, peat bog, variable humidity and fresh meadows or forest vegetation. The most significant area amongst them is inhabited by fresh meadows and dry-ground forest.
