ABSTRACT

The presented research performed throughout 2001 and 2002 on 4 cross sections of the Mszanka river between its 5+039 km and 5+724 km was aimed at assessing the current state of plants covering the banks of the river (a right side stream of Raba river) whose watercourse underwent regulatory works in 1974, namely a combined bars and water steps engineering was applied. It was revealed that well developed plants lining the watercourse properly protected the river banks from being washed out, despite slightly inconsistent, with regard to varieties, introduction of trees and bushes. Suitability of several varieties of trees and bushes was found high enough for the purpose of biological development in watercourses of rivers with habitat conditions similar to Mszanka river catchment area.

Key words: mountain river, watercourse, biological development.
