Summary
The Atlas of Distribution of Vascular Plants in Poland (ATPOL) is a new project in floristic cartography in eastern central Europe being realized by the cartogram method. The basic map unit is a square 10km x 10km. The whole of the Polish vascular flora (about 2400 taxa) is being included. The data are being gathered and processed using electronic data processing (EDP).
The concept of ATPOL was proposed by J. Komas in 1966 as a continuation and extension of the already well advanced local cartographic projects which cover various physiographic, historic or administrative regions of Poland (e.g. the Carpathians, the Silesia, the former Lublin voivodship in central‐eastern Poland, etc.), as well as some taxonomic or ecological plant groups (e.g. the trees and shrubs, Browicz, 1963–1976).
Abstract:A full list of extinct and endangered archaeophyte species for Poland is presented according to IUCN categories. The species are analysed in respect of their origin and syntaxonomic classification. Endangered archaeophytes should be cultivated in botanical gardens and open-air museums, and next reintroduced to natural sites.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
