LXIII/1/2 SECTIO C 2008 FLORIAN ŚWIĘS Department of Geobotany, Institute of Biology, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, ul. Akademicka 19, 20-033 Lublin, Poland The phytosociological structure of monocultures of shrub willows with Salix cordata ‘Americana’ Hort., and with S. viminalis L. in the vicinity of Rudnik and Sarzyna (The Lower San River valley) Struktura fitosocjologiczna monokultur krzewiastych wierzb z Salix cordata ‘Americana’ Hort., i z S. viminalis L. w okolicach Rudnika i Sarzyny (Dolina Dolnego Sanu) SUMMARY Few data have been published on the developing phytocenoses in the monocultures of shrub energy willows. It is possible that this study has described for the first time and in greater detail the floristic-phytosociological and ecological structure of the type of communities in question with an example of monocultures with Salix cordata ‘Americana’ Hort. and with S. viminalis L. The studies were conducted in the left-bank valley of the Lower San river, in the vicinity of Rudnik and Sarzyna (Fig. 1). These plantations were established on very similar alluvial soils, on arable fields, meadows, and pastures (Tables 1–6). In general, monocultures with Salix cordata ‘Americana’ are established on a somewhat wetter substratum than plantations with Salix viminalis. Moreover, plantations of the former yield a volume of biomass more often than plantations of the latter. Probably because of the foregoing reasons, the farms with S. cordata ‘Americana’ are characterized on average, inter alia, by a more varied floral composition than plantations with S. viminalis. Mainly for those reasons, the phytocenoses of monocultures of the two willow species were classified as belonging to separate, main groups of communities: with S. cordata, Americana’ and with S. viminalis. Floristic-phytosociological similarities and differences between the identified community groups are highly complex. Above all, they are floristically very heterogeneous phytocenoses (Table 7). In both the main groups of these phytocenoses, worth noting are three similar subgroups of communities termed as segetal and meadow, ruderal, and underdeveloped (non-typical). The first two represent 26 FLORIAN ŚWIĘS succession forms. The third one, on account of its highly simplified, quantitative composition of its species and also because of their exceptionally heterogeneous floristic composition, is a community developed in a very fragmentary way for various reasons. In the subgroups of segetal-meadow and ruderal communities, secondary forms of communities are observable with similar or different dominant species. Most of these community forms exhibit a greater or lesser resemblance to known phytocenoses, e.g. segetal (with Echinochloa crus-galli and Setaria glauca), meadow (with Agropyron repens, with Deschampsia caespitosa), ruderal (with Solidago gigantea, with Tanacetum vulgare) or wet sites (with Juncus bufonius). Only two of these communities, like those with Geranium palustre and with Equisetum arvense, constitute a certain phytosociological singularity, perhaps most characteristic of the willow monocultures investigated. The phytocenoses examined are characterized by a special combination of the quantitative percentage of the group value coefficients of plants belonging to specific syntaxonomic groups. (Table 8). The characterized phytocenoses with S. cordata, ‘Americana’ and with S. viminalis were provisionally included into the broadly interpreted class of Agropyretea intermedio-repentis. We can also accept the proposal that the subgroups of so-called segetal-grassy and underdeveloped (non-typical) communities should be classified into the class of Agropyretea intermedio-repentis, and so-called ruderal subgroups – into the class Artemisietea vulgaris. STRESZCZENIE Niewiele jest publikowanych danych odnośnie do kształtujących się fitocenoz w monokulturach krzewiastych wierzb energetycznych. Być może, że po raz pierwszy dokładniej scharakteryzowano tu strukturę florystyczno-fitosocjologiczną i ekologiczną wymienionego typu zbiorowisk na przykładzie monokultur: z Salix cordata ‘Americana’ Hort. i z S. viminalis L. Badania te prowadzono w lewobrzeżnej części regionu zwanego Doliną Dolnego Sanu, w okolicach Rudnika i Sarzyny (ryc. 1). Plantacje te założono na nieznacznie zróżnicowanych glebach aluwialnych, w miejscach pól uprawnych, łąk i pastwisk (tab. 1–6). Monokultury z Salix cordata ‘Americana’ założone są na podłożu nieco wilgotniejszym niż plantacje z Salix viminalis. Ponadto plantacje tej pierwszej wikliny są częściej pozyskiwane z biomasy niż plantacje tej drugiej. Prawdopodobnie z powyższych powodów uprawy z S. cordata ‘Americana’ cechują się przeciętnie między innymi bardziej urozmaiconym składem roślin niż plantacje z S. viminalis. Głównie z powyższych powodów fitocenozy monokultur tych dwu gatunków wierzb zaliczyć należy do odrębnych dwóch głównych grup zbiorowisk z S. cordata ‘Americana’ i z S. viminalis. Podobieństwa i różnice florystyczno-fitosocjologiczne między tymi dwoma wymienionymi grupami zbiorowisk są bardzo złożone. Przede wszystkim są to fitocenozy bardzo niejednorodne florystycznie (tab. 7). W obydwu głównych grupach tych fitocenoz zwracają uwagę trzy podobne podgrupy zbiorowisk, określone jako: polno-łąkowe, ruderalne i kadłubowe. Dwie pierwsze reprezentują postacie sukcesyjne. Trzecia z nich, z uwagi na bardzo uproszczony i niejednorodny w niej skład gatunków, przedstawia grupę zbiorowisk z nader fragmentarycznie rozwiniętych. W podgrupach zbiorowisk polno-łąkowych i ruderalnych zwracają uwagę postacie zbiorowisk o podobnych lub różnych dominujących gatunkach. Większość z tych zbiorowisk wykazuje mniejsze lub większe podobieństwo do znanych fitocenoz, jak np. segetalnych (z Echinochloa crus-galli i Setaria glauca), łąkowych (z Agropyron repens, z Deschampsia caespitosa), ruderalnych (z Solidago gigantea, z Tanacetum vulgare) lub miejsc podmokłych (z Juncus bufonius). Jedynie dwa te zbiorowiska, jak z Geranium palustre i z Equisetum arvense, stanowią pewną osobliwość fitosocjologiczną, być może najbardziej charakterystyczną dla rozpatrywanych monokultur wierzb. Rozpatrywane fitocenozy krzewiastych wierzb cechują się specyficzną kombinacją ilościowego w nich udziału współczynników tzw. wartości grupowej roślin z określonych grup syntaksonomicznych (tab. 8). THE PHYTOSOCIOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF MONOCULTURES OF SHRUB WILLOWS... 27 Dlatego też scharakteryzowane fitocenozy z S. cordata ‘Americana’ i z S. viminalis prowizorycznie zaliczono do szeroko ujętej klasy Agropyretea intermedio-repentis. Alternatywna jest i taka propozycja, aby podgrupy zbiorowisk tzw. polno-trawiastych i kadłubowych zakwalifikować do klasy Agropyretea intermedio-repentis, a podgrupy tzw. ruderalne ująć w obrębie klasy Artemisietea vulgaris. Keywords: Phytocenoses of monocultures with Salix cordata ‘Americana’ Hort. and with S. viminalis L., the vicinity of Rudnik and Sarzyna, Lower San River Valley, Poland. INTRODUCTION The great ecological plasticity of willows, especially shrub ones, makes it possible for them to be farmed in different habitats, from natural to anthropogenic. These plants serve various practical purposes, e.g. to reinforce and stabilize the banks of water network, to establish protection zones against noise, gas and dust emissions, to manage derelict land or sandy sites, to reclaim degraded land or biological sewage treatment plants, to produce biofuels, cellulose, fiber board, and pharmaceuticals (1, 2, 7, 8, 20, 21). For decades these willows have been the basic material for wickerwork craft. In recent years there has been a great interest in using them not only in wickerwork production but also as energy material (2, 7, 18). A Salix viminalis plantation yields 17 tons of dry wood mass from 1 ha, which can be a significant alternative to deficit fuel raw material obtained in the woods (22). The European Union recommends an admixture of 10–12% of biomass contained in the total organic matter for burning in the form of coal, oil, etc. (18). The energy material is obtained mainly from two species of shrub willows: sporadically – American willow (Salix cordata ‘Americana’), and most often – common osier or basket willow (Salix viminalis L.). In the Polish flora, the former is an introduced plant, the latter – a common, native one. The two willow species form numerous varieties, selectively preferred for specific practical purposes. (20). The American willow, with its synonymous name S. Americana Hoed., is a hybrid, probably of Salix cordata x S. gracilis. Its name as Salix cordata ‘Americana’ Hort. was adopted by Szczukowski et al. (20). In Poland, the area of plantations with Salix cordata ‘Americana’ (75%) are by far larger than Salix viminalis (20%) plantations (20, 24). Both species belong to perennial shrubs with a considerable regrowth power and a high crop yield potential, these properties holding for over a dozen years with repeated exploitation of the plants. Their annual height growth ranges from 100 to 150 cm. Seedlings for further farming are obtained from parent plantations. The harvesting of willow rods every year or every several years causes the propagation of these willows On their plantations, similar measures are applied as in orchards and gardens in order to obtain a greater volume of willow biomass. These mainly include mechanical soil loosening and mineral fertilization as well as manual or chemical (herbicides) weed control. In the monocultures of these willows, the diasporas accumulated in the soil, deriving from the initial and succession ecosystems and from the nearby ones, determine the annual renewal of the appropriate cover of herbaceous plants. THE SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY OF INVESTIGATION The study and description of the developing phytocenoses in monocultures of dwarf willows is a very important goal, not only for scientific but also practical reasons. The objective is mainly the phytosociological forms of developing communities and their position in the phytosociological system. An excessive amount of weeds decreases willow productivity and quality, while labor expenditure correspondingly increases production costs. We should bear in mind the high sensitivity 28 FLORIAN ŚWIĘS of willows to all chemical substances during the period of bud and leaf development. Especially dangerous weeds overrun newly established plantations and the older, derelict and thinned ones. Under such circumstances, reliable identification of community forms and their direction of succession in the monocultures of the willows in question will facilitate the application of appropriate methods of weed control and the right choice of herbicides and their use in the right time. The present paper describes the floristic-phytosociological and habitat properties as well as the main succession directions in the developing phytocenoses in two forms of monocultures of shrub willows; with Salix cordata ‘Americana’ and with S. viminalis. They come from the leftbank part of the San river in the vicinity of Rudnik and Sarzyna (Fig. 1). This is a region with an exceptionally long and famous tradition of wickerwork craft. For more than a decade there has been increasingly intense farming of the aforementioned dwarf willow species used mainly for wickerwork production. On the turn of June and July, over two 200 phytosociological records were made in the area of ca. 100 m2 in the monocultures of these willows. The most representative ones were listed in Tables 1–6: of which, 70 – from monocultures with Salix cordata ‘Americana’ (Tables 1–3) and 50 – from monocultures with Salix viminalis (Tables 4–6). The stations of these phytosociological records were located on the appended map of the investigation area against the additionally marked ATPOL grid squares, compiled by Zając (27)j for the whole territory of Poland (Fig. 1). These are highly dense plantations, with varied height of willow shoots, ranging from 50–320 cm – for Salix cordata ‘Americana’ and 60–650 cm – for Salix viminalis (Tables 1–6). By knowing the height of the willows and their annual height growth ranging from 1–1.5 m, one can roughly determine the years of their life and the time of establishment. The data concerning the soils were chosen on the basis of soil and plant maps (Tables 1–6). Comparative figures about the identified main subgroups of willow plantation phytocenoses were specified in Tables 7 and 8 in respect of the distribution of species stability classes and the group value of the main, syntaxonomic groups of species. Phytosociological records and the floristic-phytosociological analysis of phytocenoses were carried out according to the assumptions of the Braun-Blanquet method, commonly adopted in Poland (16). The nomenclature of plants was given after Mirek et al. (12) and Ochyra et al. (14), and their membership of particular syntaxonomic groups was presented after Matuszkiewicz (11). The preliminary and pioneering but generalized information on the phytosociological structure of the monocultures of shrub willows is contained in several studies (10, 18, 23, 26). THE AREA OF INVESTIGATIONS Phytosociological studies in the monocultures of two species of dwarf willows (Salix cordata ‘Americana’, S. viminalis) were conducted in the left-bank part of the mesoregion of the Lower San River Valley (Fig. 1), situated in the eastern part of the macroregion of the Sandomierz Basin [Kotlina Sandomierska] (9, 19). Administratively, this area is located in the Podkarpackie province [voievodship] in the borderland between the poviats [districts] of Nisko and Leżajsk, in the vicinity of Rudnik on the San and of Nowa Sarzyna. It occupies a stretch 19 km long and 500 m to 3 km wide, at 159 to 173 m above sea level. In the east the territory borders on the San riverbed, and in the west – on the edges of the Tarnobrzeg Plain [Równina Tarnobrzeska] and Kolbuszów Plateau [Płaskowyż Kolbuszowski]. Climatically, the area described is located in the so-called Sandomierz climatic region in the 47th Sandomierz country (15). Worth noting are several significant climatic features of the region in question (12, 15). Its mean annual climatic parameters range from 6.5– 7.5°C for air temperature, and from ca. 600–650 mm for precipitation. We should also note comparatively short winters (on average: 92 days) and long summer periods (95 days). The level of ground water ranges from 3–5 m deep on average (3, 4). The basic kind of the substratum is made up of Holocene alluvial soils with insular banks of Eolian sands of the late Pleistocene. These THE PHYTOSOCIOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF MONOCULTURES OF SHRUB WILLOWS... 29 deposits are intermingled into the several-level system of terraces, most often Holocene, and infrequently Pleistocene ones (3, 4, 9). Cover deposits, up to over a dozen-odd-meter thick lie on the substratum of Holocene river sands sometimes interspersed at the bottom with Pleistocene sandy-gravelly lens. Under such conditions, alluvial soils absolutely dominate spatially over brown and podzolic, and other soils. Almost all major kinds of soils that occur here are abundant to a different degree in dusty or sandy sediments (Tables 1–6). Generally, they are mesophilic, fertile and humus soils (5, 6, 29). The investigated area is highly agriculturally developed. In the east side, on the edges of the Kolbuszów Plateau and Tarnobrzeg Plain, it borders on large pine-oak forest complexes. In the west, along the San river channel, the belt of intermittent shrubbery and of thinned riverside forests stretches out. Apart from that, a mosaic of farmland, meadows, pastures and willow monocultures predominates spatially (Fig. 2). Willow plantations are established on different kinds of land: farmland, meadows and pastures, on fallow and derelict land. These are usually small plantations with an area of up to one ha. The number of their stations and general area increases every year. RESULTS OF STUDIES The specification of the identified phytocenoses in monocultures of shrub willows with Salix cordata ‘Americana’ and with Salix viminalis and their proposed position in the phytosociological system is as follows: Class: Agropyretea intermedio-repentis (Oberd. et all. 1967), Müller et Görs 1926 1.

Community: typical 30 FLORIAN ŚWIĘS Monocultures with Salix cordata ‘Americana’ are established on a somewhat wetter substratum than monocultures with Salix viminalis. Moreover, the former plantation yields a volume of shoot biomass on average several times more often than the latter. It appears that for those reasons monocultures with Salix cordata ‘Americana’ are more varied as regards the qualitative and quantitative percentage of herbaceous plants than plantations with Salix viminalis. That is why, for the aforementioned reasons, the identified phytocenoses in the two forms were categorized as belonging to distinct main groups of plant communities. On the other hand, the two separate plantations of willows, apart from differences in the wetness of their substratum, occur on very similar soils regarding their origin, mechanical composition, chemical properties etc. Usually, they are mediumheavy or heavy alluvial soils, less often light ones. These plantations are seldom established on other soils, e.g. brown or podzolic soils. In almost all cases these are fertile soils, more or less moist and rich in humus, with different quantitative combinations of dusty, sandy or gravel deposits. It appears that for that reason, analogous secondary subgroups of phytocenoses are forming in the two types of plantations of dwarf willows. The phytocenoses identified in both forms (with S. cordata ‘Americana’ and with S. viminalis) of willow monocultures are first of all characterized by a highly heterogeneous floristic composition (Table 7). This shows that we are dealing with unstable phytocenoses that do not deserve to be phytosociologically classified as typical plant communities. In all forms of the identified phytocenoses, the most common plants, apart from the willows under cultivation, include: Elymus repens, Equisetum arvense, Achillea millefolium, Taraxacum officinale, Phleum pratense, and Cirsium arvense. Within the main community groups formed in the monocultures with Salix cordata ‘Americana’ and with Salix viminalis, on the basis of their general floristic-phytosociological properties, three analogous secondary subgroups of phytocenoses in each were distinguished, which were provisionally termed as segetal-meadow, ruderal, and underdeveloped (nontypical). The first two subgroups of communities probably represent the succession stages of development: from their initial, least stable original forms to more stable ones of ruderal type. The third subgroup of the investigated phytocenoses with a highly simplified quantitative percentage of species and with exceptional floristic heterogeneity represents a classical underdeveloped (non-typical) community. In the last case it is difficult to conclusively determine the causes of formation of this specific phytocenosis. They may be of natural origin (e.g. too great and too frequent shading of the substratum) or anthropogenic (e.g. use of herbicides, intensive weedings). Worth noting is the fact that in the first two analogous community subgroups, both analogous and separate of communities.

However, separate community are characteristic only of monocultures with Salix cordata ‘Americana’. These are: with Echinochloa crus-galli and Setaria glauca, with Juncus effusus and with Tanacetum vulgare. Most of these communities, characterized by dominant and co-dominant plants, show a comparatively high resemblance to the known, common segetal communities (with Echinochloa crusgalli and Setaria glaca), meadow-pasture communities (with Agropyron repens, with Deschampsia caespitosa), ruderal ones (with Solidago gigantea, with Tanacetum vulgare), or to wet habitats (with Juncus bufonius). The communities with Geranium palustre and with Equisetum arvense represent a certain phytosociological singularity. In the studied area they are the most characteristic community of the willow monocultures investigated. The studied phytocenoses consist of plants characteristic of different units of 18 classes and a group of plants with an indeterminate phytosociological status (Tables 1–6). Taking into consideration the coefficient of the so-called group value of specific syntaxonomic plant groups, the comparatively greatest percentage goes to plants of the following classes: Agropyretea intermedio-repentis, MolinioArrhenatheretea, Artemisietea vulgaris, then to those of the species group with an indeterminate phytosociological status (so-called miscellaneous) and of the class Stellarietea mediae. Taking into account the highest coefficients of group value of plants in their specific taxonomic groups, it should be observed that: 47 THE PHYTOSOCIOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF MONOCULTURES OF SHRUB WILLOWS... a) All the phytocenoses investigated represent the developing, heterogeneous floristic communities of an intermediate character, mainly between phytocenoses of classes Molinio-Arrhenatheretea and Agropyretea intermedio repentis. b) The main direction of their natural succession runs from meadow-field communities to ruderal herbaceous communities. c) The properties comparatively closest to the intermediate plants between classes Agropyretea intermedio-repentis and Molinio-Arrhenatheretea are exhibited by communities in segetal-meadow subgroups. d) The properties comparatively closest to the intermediate plants between classes Agropyretea intermedio-repentis and Artemisietea vulgaris are exhibited by communities in ruderal subgroups. e) The properties comparatively closest to the intermediate plants and between classes Molinio-Arrhenetheretea, Agropyretea intermedio-repentis and Artemisietea vulgaris are exhibited by communities in underdeveloped (non-typical) subgroups. f) ‘Ruderal’ properties are especially distinctly exhibited by the ruderal subgroup in monocultures with Salix viminalis. g) For undefined natural or artificial reasons, in the two main community groups there occurs a very high simplification of the cover of herbaceous plants.

In general, taking into account the characteristic combinations of percentages of plants of particular syntaxonomic groups, the studied phytocenoses should be included most appropriately in the broadly understood class Agropyretea intermedio-repentis. It should also be emphasized that the main direction of succession of the studied phytocenoses in dwarf willow monocultures runs from their initial segetal-meadow forms (class Molinio-Arrhenatherea) towards ruderal communities (class Artemisietea vulgaris) and perhaps finally to their form with an underdeveloped (non-typical) character (different classes of communities). It is also possible to propose an assumption that subgroups of communities defined as segetal-grassy and underdeveloped (non-typical) ones be classified as belonging to class Agropyretea intermedio-repentis, and the so-called ruderal subgroups – to class Artemisietea vulgaris. It will be possible to thoroughly determine the phytosociological structure of monocultures of shrub willows after further studies of them have been made in different stations. In the communities investigated, worth noting are the recorded stations of several regionally rare plants such as Colchicum autumnale, Cucubalus baccifer, Epipactis helleborine and Euphorbia virgultosa. We should also note the spontaneous propagation of several shrub and tree species in the studied willow monocultures: Cornus sanguinea, Crataegus monogyna, Acer negundo, Betula pendula, Populus alba, Quercus robur, and Ulmus glabra. Also interesting here is the expansion of 11 bryophyte species belonging to different phytosociological groups. The most frequent of them include: Atrichum undulatum, Brachytheciastrum velutinum, and Bryum caespiticium (Tables 1–6). REFERENCES 11. BŁAŻEJ J., BŁAŻEJ J. 2005.
