W dotychczasowych badaniach wiele uwagi poświęcano wpływowi ciągów komunikacyjnych m.in. na zanieczyszczenie gleb metalami ciężkimi, utrudnioną migrację zwierząt, hałas czy synantropizację szaty roślinnej. W niniejszej pracy zbadano oddziaływanie drogi o bardzo małym natężeniu ruchu na roślinność zielną, a w szczególności na występowanie 3 gatunków roślin z rodziny wrzosowatych: wrzosu zwyczajnego, borówki czarnej i borówki brusznicy, oraz zmienność pH gleb. Obserwacje prowadzono w drzewostanach sosnowych w siedlisku boru świeżego i boru mieszanego świeżego na terenie Puszczy Noteckiej. Założono dwanaście prostopadłych do osi drogi prostokątnych powierzchni doświadczalnych – transektów. Na każdym z nich wyznaczono 3-4 działki badawcze zlokalizowane w różnej odległości od krawędzi jezdni. Na działkach przeprowadzono obserwacje roślinności i pomiary pH gleb. Uzyskane z transektów wyniki uśredniono w obrębie działek ulokowanych w tej samej odległości od drogi i porównano z innymi stosując metody statystyczne. Przy drodze próchnica leśna okazała się istotnie mniej kwaśna niż w głębi drzewostanu, obficiej występowała roślinność zielna, w tym wrzos zwyczajny, rzadziej natomiast pojawiały się borówka czarna i brusznica, których to częstość występowania istotnie rosła wraz ze zwiększaniem odległości od drogi.

The development of the transportation network brings both benefits and threats. Much attention is paid to soil contamination with trace elements, difficulties in animal migration, noise propagation or synanthropisation of the vegetation cover. This paper deals with the effect of provincial very low-volume road No. 150 on the herbaceous vegetation cover, especially on the occurrence of 3 species of the heather family: Calluna vulgaris, Vaccinium myrtillus and V. vitis-idaea. Observations were conducted in pine stands in fresh coniferous forest and fresh mixed coniferous forest sites in the Puszcza Notecka Forest, Poland - one of the larger forest complexes in Europe. Twelve rectangular experimental sites were established perpendicular to the road axis, called belt transects. Each of them consisted of 3-4 plots located at different distances from the pavement edge. Measurements and estimations of herbaceous vegetation cover and pH soils were recorded for the each plots. Values from all belt transects were approximated within plots at the same distance from the road and then compared using statistical methods. By the road humus was a less acidic than in the depth of the tree stand, there was more abundant herbaceous vegetation, including Calluna vulgaris, but rarely appeared Vaccinium myrtillus and V. vitis-idaea whose incidence is increased with increasing distance from the road edge.

Concentrations of the elements N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, S, Fe, Mn, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn were measured in the leaves of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) and the soil in which it grew. Concentration of total phenolics in bilberry leaves was also determined. Soil and leaves were sampled at polluted site situated 10-13 km northeast of copper smelter at Głogów (SW Poland) and at a relatively clean site. Soil at the vicinity of the Cu-smelter contained significantly more Cu, Pb, Cd, S, and significantly less Mn, Zn, Fe, Co, Ni than the non-polluted soil. Bilberry leaves from polluted site contained significantly higher concentrations of Cu, Pb, Cd, S, Fe and Cr and significantly lower concentrations of Mn and Zn. Furthermore, they had significantly higher level of total phenolics as compared with bilberry leaves from non-polluted site. Stepwise regression analysis enabled the identification of the leaf variables that best explain the variance pattern of the total foliar phenolics. This method indicated that the level of total phenolics in bilberry leaves increased with increasing concentrations of Cu, Pb, Cd and S, and decreasing level of Mn and Zn in leaves. Total foliar phenolics in bilberry in the investigated area might be a suitable indicator of stress caused by environmental pollution of heavy metal and sulfur.

In a series of sites from the top of Mumlawski Wierch downwards (Western part of Karkonosze Mts.), properties of bilberry population as well as concentrations of heavy metals in various parts of the plant have been analysed in order to assess the state of spruce forests. It has been found that in habitats where tree stands are declined, density of bilberry population drops rapidly, the plants are becoming stunted and produce fewer flowers and fruits. Among heavy metals analysed, lead was the only one, the concentration of which in the plants exceeded permissible level, especially in sites located in the lower montane zone.
