ABSTRACT
The group of 81 endangered species (79 of them are mentioned
at regional Red Book of Plants) have been recorded in the 44 selected
fishpond complexes of the central-eastern Poland (Południowopodlaska lowland).
The studies demonstrated the importance of these elements in the agricultural
landscape of the Polish lowlands as refugees for endangered plant species, especially
those ecologically associated with hydrogenic sites.
Key words: fishponds, endangered species, Południowopodlaska lowland, central-eastern.
