| Abstract : | The effects of the agricultural use of lands located in the vicinity of two hydrogenic habitats in the area of the Orawsko-Nowotarska Basin (Szaflary and Jablonka fens) on their soil and water properties and the direction of pedogenic processes occurring in their soils were investigated. It was found that the agricultural use of lands located in the vicinity of hydrogenic habitats significantly affected their soil and water properties. As a result of drainage irrigation, Jablonka fen soils passed the phase of accumulation of organic matter in the decession phase. This resulted in a change in their chemical and physical properties. As a result of run-off from the slope above Szaflary fen, used as pasture, the ionic composition of the waters was changed. Changes in the direction of the pedogenic process occurring in Jablonka fen soils and ionic composition of the water supply in Szaflary fen can cause the extinction of species valuable in terms of nature, namely stenotopic, plant and animal species, in these lands. |
