Vol. 9, No. 1

The cliffed coast in Wolin National Park is especially valued in terms of biogeography. The coastal area is highly valuable not only in view of the abiotic advantages offered by the natural environment but also due to the presence of valuable plant associations. A coastal orchid beech forest – the Cephalanthero rubrae-Fagetum habitat – is a site that is unique in Poland, in Europe and in the whole world. This plant association is found only on the cliffed coast of Wolin Island in Poland in specific hydrometeorological, morphodynamic and soil conditions. The main aim of this study was a qualitative and quantitative description of the Cephalanthero rubra-Fagetum site, including determining its present range and species composition. In addition, the studied cliffed coast area was evaluated in terms of its visual attractiveness based on the aspects of geodiversity and biodiversity of landscape. Field studies corroborated the outstanding landscape values determining the attractiveness of the study area to tourists. The cliffed coast section, Grodno-Biała Góra, features unique environmental characteristics that are absent from the remaining part of the coastal area of the Baltic. A peculiar characteristic of geodiversity in that zone is the presence of the highest seashore in Poland where natural hydrodynamic and geomorphological processes occur free of human interference. This is the only part of the seashore featuring a unique soil, the so-called cliff naspa, on which orchid birch forests grow. This biodiverse plant community comprised 113 species of vascular plants among which 7 species of Orchidaceae were identified. The landscape values of the studied area of the Wolin National Park are further enhanced by two attractive tourist hiking trails and a vantage point on top of Gosań hill.

Increased intensity of automotive traffic has a negative impact on the human body, and on the safety and comfort of living. The hazards of transportation are primarily associated with road accidents, air pollution, noise and transport blockages. The present study includes a temporal and spatial analysis of the intensity of traffic-related noise in the summer season of 2015 in the tourist part of the town of Szczecinek. In addition, it includes a comparative analysis of the noise levels and traffic volumes in Szczecinek against the background of the village of Iwin. Assessment of noise pollution was carried out at a total of 37 different sites, both on working days and at weekends. A spatial image of noise intensity in the central part of Szczecinek was obtained, and sites with excessive levels of traffic noise were flagged. These locations are particularly burdensome to residents and cause a decrease in the tourist value of the city. Our tests confirmed the advisability of building a beltway for Szczecinek.
