<em>Bacidia fuscoviridis</em> and <em>Bacidina brandii</em>, two lichen-forming fungi, are reported from Poland. <em>Bacidia fuscoviridis</em>, previously known from only one locality in Poland, has been found in several ranges of Western Carpathians on natural rocks as well as on hydrotechnic constructions. The only published collection of <em>Bacidina brandii</em> from Poland was re-examined, and determined as <em>Bacidina sulphurella</em>. In addition to the author’s recent collections, which are new to the Carpathians, <em>B. brandii</em> has been discovered several times in some Polish herbaria in materials labelled as <em>Bacidina phacodes</em>. Illustrated descriptions and taxonomic, ecological, and distributional notes are provided for both species.

The Brodno section — a potential regional stratotype of the Jurassic/Cretaceous boundary (Western Carpathians) Compared to coeval successions from the Carpathians, the continuous Jurassic-Cretaceous (J/K) pelagic limestone succession of the Brodno section offers the best possibility to document the J/K passage in a wide area. This section comprises a complete calpionellid, and nannofossil stratigraphic record, that supports the older paleomagnetic data. Moreover, the sequence stratigraphy and stable isotope (δ18O, δ13C) data gave important results, too, enabling comparison with known key sections from the Mediterranean Tethys area.

Abstract The paper presents an analysis of mountain species occurrence in the Sopotnia Wielka creek, in the Beskid Żywiecki Mts (Western Carpathians, Poland). The list contains 55 plant species, which represent the whole altitudinal spectrum from piedmont to alpine zones (Viola biflora, Mutellina purpurea). The species inhabit mostly moist and wet communities along creek. They represent mainly the Alpic-Central-European distributional type. Three species are endemics for the Carpathians: Aconitum firmum subsp. firmum, Crocus scepusiensis, Dentaria glandulosa.

Five species of lichen-forming fungi not reported yet or rare in the Carpathians have been found during lichenological researches by authors in the Tatra Mts and the Gorce Mts. Of these, Tetramelas chloroleucus has not been recorded in Poland since 19th century and, similarly to Gyalecta russula, has been found for the first time in the Polish part of the Carpathians. Absconditella celata has been discovered in the Polish Western Carpathians. Fellhanera gyrophorica has never been listed before in the Western Carpathians and Epigloea bactrospora in whole Carpathians. Notes on the taxonomy, habitat and worldwide distribution of these species (including maps of their ranges in Europe) are accompanied by photo plates illustrating their morphology and anatomy.

Quaternary exhumation of the Carpathians: a record from the Orava-Nowy Targ Intramontane Basin, Western Carpathians (Poland and Slovakia)The Neogene-Quaternary infill of the Orava-Nowy Targ Intramontane Basin comprises two tiers showing contrasting lithologies. The Neogene tier is largely composed of claystones and siltstones, whereas the Quaternary tier is dominated by gravels. The two sequences are separated by an erosional surface underlain by a regolith. Deposition of the Neogene sequence took place during subsidence of the basin. No prominent relief existed in the area of the present-day mountains actually surrounding the basin at that time. The regolith started to form at the onset of basin inversion. Still, no prominent relief existed in the present-day mountains. The onset of deposition of Quaternary gravels in the basin corresponds to acceleration of uplift of the surrounding mountains, which has been continuing until now. The Pieniny Klippen Belt has been subject to erosion, at least locally, from the deposition of the basal part of the Neogene sequence filling the Orava-Nowy Targ Basin until present times. In contrast, the Paleogene cover of the Tatra Mts was removed only during the Quaternary.

The results of phytosociological studies on the diversity of alder-ash and willow communities in the Pogórze Strzyżowskie foothills are presented. These communities, especially <em>Carici remotae-Fraxinetum</em> are increasingly rare in the landscape of the Carpathians. The paper supports new data allowing better understanding of the diversity of the <em>Carici remotae-Fraxinetum</em> in the southern Poland. On the basis of 59 phytosociological releves two sub-associations were identified: <em>C.r.-F. chrysosplenietosum</em> and <em>C. r.-F. equisetetosum maximii</em> and the form with <em>Alnus incana</em>. The association <em>Carici remotae-Fraxinetum</em> belongs to submontane regional form and to East Carpathian variant. The significance of <em>Caltha palustris-Chaerophyllum hirsutum</em> community is also presented, along with the role of <em>Carex pendula</em> and <em>Matteucia struthiopteris</em>. The paper provides also documentary data on sporadic occurrence of <em>Salicetum triandro-viminalis</em> and <em>Salicetum albo-fragilis</em> communities.

<em>A. lasiocarpum</em> has provoked a long-standing debate over its systematic and geographic status. Present taxonomic and chorological studies offer a proposal for the solution of these problems. In their result, a taxon described by Zapałowicz (1908) was rediscovered, now treated as <em>A. lasiocarpum</em> subsp. <em>kotulae</em> comb. nov. It occurs far beyond hitherto admitted borders of <em>A. lasiocarpum</em> subsp. <em>lasiocarpum</em>, reaching the Sanok-Jasło Basin, the Tatra Mts. and Babia Góra Mt. in the Western Carpathians, and Podolye on Ukraine. A hybrid between<em> A. lasiocarpum</em> and <em>A. variegatum</em> subsp. <em>variegatum</em> was also described for the first time. The nothospecies, <em>A</em>. x <em>pawlowskii</em> nothosp. nov., occurs in scattered localities in the Western Carpathians: in Poland (Beskid Niski, Tatras, Gorce Mts. and Babia Góra Mt.) and in Slovakia (Slovenské Rudohorie, Nizke Tatry Mts. and Muranska Planina Plateau), within the range of <em>A. variegatum</em> subsp. <em>variegatum</em>. The new (notho) taxa enable more precise shaping the geographical borders of both <em>A. lasiocarpum</em> subsp. <em>lasiocarpum</em> and <em>A. variegatum</em> subsp. <em>variegatum</em> in the Carpathians.

AbstractArabidopsis halleri represents an important model species for the study of phytoremediation. In the Carpathians it is represented by three subspecies: A. halleri subsp. halleri, A. halleri subsp. tatrica and A. halleri subsp. dacica. All three subspecies are diploid with chromosome number 2n = 16. They differ mainly in indument of flower parts, colour of petals and in the position of the longest leaf on stem. A. halleri subsp. halleri occurs in the Eastern and Southern Carpathians and in the northern and eastern part of the Western Carpathians, subsp. tatrica is endemic of the Western Carpathians and subsp. dacica occurs in the Eastern and Southern Carpathians most probably extending in its distribution further to the south to the Balkan mountains. Full synonymy of these three taxa and also a fourth European subspecies, A. halleri subsp. ovirensis is presented including the information on type specimens. Lectotypes are selected for several names. List of the examined herbarium specimens is given as well.

Relic Population

In the territory of Poland, <em>Rubus chamaemorus </em>is a rare glacial relict. Its localities known to date were in the northern part of the country and in the Sudeten Mountains. In 2002, a new locality of this species was discovered in the Orawa-Nowy Targ basin in the Carpathians. It is the southernmost locality in the European distribution area of this species. <em>Rubus chamaemorus </em>grows there on a raised bog in communities of the Oxycocco-Sphagnetea class. The spatial structure of the population depends on microhabitats reflecting the hummock-hollow structure of the peatbog.
