The investigations of trait variability in Arum alpinum were conducted in 2016-2017 in two Dentario glandulosae-Fagetum patches (Chełm Mountain Reserve, Western Carpathians). Patch I (510 m a.s.l.) was located on a sharp steep slope and dominated by plant species with oblong leaves, whereas Patch II (400 m a.s.l.) was situated at the bottom of a wide ravine densely overgrown by species forming broad leaves. The height of plants growing in vicinity of A. alpinum in both study sites was rather similar, whereas the soil reaction and humidity were much higher in Patch II. Despite the different habitat conditions, the abundance of both A. alpinum populations was similar. The length of leaf petioles, dimensions of leaf blades, as well as the number of leaves per rosette were significantly greater in Patch I. The dimensions of leaves and flowering stems of individuals growing in Patch I were greater in 2016 than in 2017. The length of infructescences and number of fruits in both populations did not show either spatial or temporal variability. Moreover, the positive correlations between length of the highest leaf petiole and the dimensions of leaf blade, as well as between the height of the flowering stems and number of fruits and length of infructescence were noticed. Our results providing interesting data about of the spatio-temporal variability in A. alpinum traits in Dentario glandulosae-Fagetum patches reveal the need for this type of research in other plant communities.

Na obszarze dawnego parku dworskiego w Rzeszowie-Zalesiu zinwentaryzowano 250 gatunków roślin naczyniowych, z czego 187 stanowiły taksony rodzime i trwale zadomowione. Taksony trwale zadomowione reprezentowane były przez 19 gatunków archeofitów i 16 gatunków kenofitów, w tym 13 inwazyjnych. Odnotowano występowanie 57 gatunków uprawianych, 3 gatunków przejściowo zdziczałych z uprawy oraz 3 gatunków o niepewnym statusie we florze Polski. Odnaleziono również nieutrwalonego mieszańca międzygatunkowego. Określono ponadto poziom synantropizacji flory badanego terenu, wykorzystując następujące wskaźniki liczbowe: antropofityzacji (WAn = 38%), archeofityzacji (WAr = 10,16%), kenofityzacji (WK = 8,56%), modernizacji (WM = 45,71%) oraz stopnia labilności flory (WF = 1,2%).

In the territory of the post-manorial park in Rzeszów-Zalesie the occurence of 250 species of vascular plants were inventoried, of which 187 were native and permanently established taxa. Permanently established species were represented by 19 species of archaeaophytes and 16 species of kenophytes, including 13 invasive species. There were 57 cultivated species, 3 ergasiophygophytes and 3 species of uncertain status in the Polish flora. An unpreseved interspecific hybrid has been also discovered. The level of synanthropization of the studied area was determined by using indicators of the antopogenic transitions of flora: anthropophytysation (WAn = 38%), archaeophytysation (WAr = 10,16%), kenophytysation (WK = 8,56%), modernization (WM = 45,71%) and level of lability of flora (WF = 1,2%).

The descent of some mountain species into the lowlands is an interesting phenomenon in plant geography and ecology. The main purpose of the present study is to update the list of mountain species for the Silesian Uplands and to provide a synthesis of the knowledge accumulated to date on the habitats for their occurrence, a possible origin and their distribution patterns. In the present study, both the authors. own records and those obtained by other researchers have been used: published, unpublished and herbarium records, and assembled in a form compatible with the Atlas of distribution of vascular plants in Poland (ATPOL) in the ATPOL.Silesia database). A list of mountain species present in the study region (approximately 4000 km2) is provided in relation to their altitudinal groups. For each species, information about its affiliation to geographical elements and the type of habitats in which it has occurred is recorded. The distribution of mountain species in the Silesian Uplands has been investigated by mapping the species onto a grid of 2 x 2 km squares (1040 in total). For ATPOL squares, containing at least one mountain species (N = 647), CORINE land cover data were obtained and used in explaining the distribution of mountain species composition and richness. In the vascular flora of the Silesian Uplands 76 mountain taxa have been noted, including 2 submontane, 41 montane, 1 subalpine nd 32 multizonal species. The list of mountain species has been supplemented with Lonicera nigra and Cirsium erisithales. Many mountain species occurring in the Silesian Uplands have localities distributed throughout the whole region and thus they do not represent any particular type of range. Some species show certain patterns of distribution associated with local habitat conditions. Stands of the montane species are concentrated mainly in the western part of the Silesian Uplands, while the multizonal species are concentrated in the eastern and central part of the study area. Most of the mountain species occur in natural habitats, in particular in broadleaved woodlands, even when they have been degraded. However, some of the species prefer strongly degraded habitats, in particular sand- and clay-pits, quarries and industrial spoils which has been confirmed by multivariate (RDA) analysis. Discussing the possible origin of the mountain species in the Silesian Uplands one can consider migration routes from two directions: from the Sudety Mts. or from the Carpathian Mts. (located approximately 400 km south-west from a study area and 50.100 km south, respectively). Another possible explanation is that the species had a wider range during the glaciations and survived here in refugia.
