abstract:
The Krzesinski Landscape Park is situated in Cybinka, Gubin and Maszewo communes, in the Lubuskie Province. The Park has varied plant and animal life, low agricultural utilization and tourist penetration. A majority of the communes have less favourable conditions for agricultural production. The share of weak and very weak arable soils in the communes ranges from 37.6% to 57.9%. Large afforested area (57.2-66.2%), low share of agricultural land (26.4-66.2%) and small density of population (12-24 persons per km2) favours development of non-agricultural functions within the area of the park. In the structure of farms, small farms - up to 5 ha - prevail, whereas bigger farms (15 ha and more) constitute only 8.4-9.9%, but they hold from 70.4 to 89.6% of agricultural lands. A disadvantageous phenomenon for environment protection and biodiversity conservation is domination of cereals in sowings structure (75.7-82.2%), mainly wheat and rye. Low number of animals per 100 ha of agricultural land, especially in small farms (up to 5 ha), and larger farms (15 ha and more), does not provide for the minimum manure fertilisation of agricultural areas, which causes humus depletion and increases the risk for soil degradation.
