The paper presents the results of geocomplex delimitation referring to four terrain types: loess, gypsum, sand and loam. The boundaries of the landscape units were determined based on different types of cartographic materials. As a source of information about the base the geological and soil agricultural maps were used. Two types of slopes and soil texture classification were taken into account. Six alternatives of land division into landscape units were obtained. In case of terrains with complicated geology the results indicated a strong interdependence between the cartographic material used and the spatial pattern of the geocomplexes. For the areas with slightly differentiated geology the choice of the information source should depend on the landscape function or potential valorized. The obtained results are important for the correctness of the landscape assessment within geocomplexes.

Określenie oddziaływań skumulowanych jest jednym z obowiązkowych elementów oceny oddziaływania na środowisko, zarówno w odniesieniu do poszczególnych inwestycji jak i dokumentów o charakterze strategicznym. Element ten jest jednak rzadko uwzględniany w raportach OOŚ w wystarczającym zakresie. Jest to niekorzystne m.in. z punktu widzenia ochrony fauny, ze względu na jej szczególną wrażliwość na zmiany środowiska przyrodniczego. W artykule, za pomocą wybranych kryteriów, oceniono zalecane w literaturze metody identyfikacji oddziaływań skumulowanych. Rezultatem analizy jest wyróżnienie dwóch grup metod różniących się pod względem czaso- i kosztochłonności oraz dokładności uzyskiwanych danych.

The evaluation of the cumulative impact is one the elements that must be taken into account in the environmental impact assessments and strategic impact assessments. However, very rarely enough attention is devoted to this issue. This is unfavorable from the point of view of fauna protection, which is sensitive to the changes in the environment. In this paper cumulative impact identification methods that are recommended in the literature, were assessed using a range of different criteria. As a result two groups of methods were identified. They differ in the time and cost needed for their application and also in the accuracy of the results.
