<\/p>\nTogether with a team of researchers from Jagiellonian University, an analysis of the ecological and environmental conditions of river corridor plants (RCPs) was conducted. Our research showed that the coverage of RCP species was at sites characterized by higher exchangeable potassium (K) content in the soil. At sites along anthropogenic linear landscape features, the expected coverage of RCP species was highest in plots with high exchangeable K content in the soil and high soil pH at the same time. Such results suggest that \"corridor\" plants need good conditions for rapid development of the root system to respond to rapidly changing conditions of excess or scarcity of water.<\/p>\n

Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n The phenomenon that some vascular plant species grow mainly or exclusively in the large river valleys of Central Europe constitutes a long-standing distribution puzzle. In our study, we focused on determining which physicochemical properties of soil affect the distribution of river corridor plant (RCP) species. Research that included RCP coverage, the physicochemical properties of soil as well as several topographic and spatial variables were conducted in 10 transects perpendicular to the San River (SE Poland). The sampled plots were located both in close proximity to the river, where the greatest number of RCP populations are concentrated, and along anthropogenic linear landscape elements which have proven to be important for RCP occurrence in areas located away from the riverbed. Spearman rank correlation matrices were constructed to observe the general relationships between particular variables and Boosted Regression Tree models were used for explaining RCP coverage. Our study indicated that in the case of plots located in proximity to the river, the expected coverage of RCP species was highest in plots characterized by a higher soil exchangeable potassium (K) content, as well as in those located closer to the San River and at lower altitudes. In plots situated along anthropogenic linear landscape elements, the expected coverage of RCPs was highest in plots with a high soil exchangeable K content and in those with a high soil pH. The analyses clearly showed that the physicochemical properties of soils indeed affect.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nobis A., Chmolowska D., Szymura T., Nowak A<\/strong>., Nobis M. 2022.
