abstract:
The Orawa-Nowy Targ Basin is an area of the most abundant occurrence of bog plants in the Polish Carpathians. Thanks to this region, contemporary flora of the Carpathians is richer in many plant species and animals related to them, often glacial relics. At the moment, the bogs flora is poorer and biological diversity has decreased in consequence of wasteful exploitation of the site. Degradation of the Orawa-Nowy Targ bogs is a serious threat for the biological diversity of the Carpathians.
