Abstract: The objective of the study is to give a detailed characteristics of habitat requirements of Carex

which were chosen according to the presence of C. brizoides. In patches of forest communities with
C. brizoides measurements of slope aspect and inclination and light conditions were taken. Moreover,
soil samples from the rhizosphere of sedge were collected and litter depth was measured. The results
were presented on ecodiagrams, and on their basis, it was attempted to determine ecological optima
of the species studied. The obtained results were compared with values of ecological indicators after
Zarzycki et al. (2002) and Ellenberg et al. (1992), commonly used in indirect estimation of habitat
conditions. Based on 344 soil samples taken from 172 sites with C. brizoides, it was revealed that the
sedge most frequently occurred in phytocoenoses with litter depth 2–4 cm, three cover 60–80% and
pH (KCl) between 4.4 and 5.0. It was evidenced that our results are considerably different from ecologi-
cal optima given by Zarzycki and Ellenberg. These differences resulted probably from local character of
the presented studies and anthropogenic origin of phytocoenoses analyzed. The results indicated that
phytoindicative importance of C. brizoides is limited.
Key words: phytoindication, autecology, Carex brizoides, forest communities, Silesian Upland.
INTRODUCTION
The massive occurrence of Carex brizoides in forests is a common phenome-
non noted for several decades in many regions of Poland (e.g. Paczoski 1900,
Hereźniak 1993, Sierka and Chmura 2004, 2006) and in neighbouring countries
(e.g. Bulkonow 1975, van der Veen and Bremer 1997). As it was shown in pre-
vious studies, phytocoenoses with herb layer dominated by this sedge are species-
poor (Dzwonko and Gawroński 1994, Faliński 1998a, 1998b, Stachurska 1998,
Sierka 2003) and more homogenous in terms of physiognomy (Krotoska and Pio-
trowska 1962). These features are considered as characteristic for ceaspitization,
a degeneration form of forest (Olaczek 1974). Most information on habitats with
the occurrence of Carex brizoides came from floristic and phytosociological surveys
(e.g. Izdebski 1972, Celiński et al. 1978, Anioł-Kwiatkowska 1993, Hereźniak
1993, Celiński and Czylok 1995, Stachurska 1998, Sierka 2003, Chmura and
Sierka 2007). These studies, however, do not contain detailed autecological data. As
Roo-Zielińska (2004) reported, investigations based on separate analysis of ecologi-
cal factors have major application for estimation of plant resources, control methods
of their expansion and broadening the concept of phytoindication (Diekman 2003).
Therefore, the subject of present paper is the analysis of the occurrence of the
sedge in forest communities of the Silesian Upland at the background of environ-
mental conditions.

The aims of this study are: (1) to determine ranges and optima of habitat condi-
tions in sites with Carex brizoides in forest communities in the Silesian Upland and
(2) to indicate eventual possibilities of the use of the species in phytoindication.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
The fieldwork was conducted in 1998–2001, in the area of the Silesia Upland
which covers 3925 km2
(Kondracki 1994). The Silesian Upland comprises 5 mesore-
gions (Fig. 1) and is geologically diversified. Upper Carboniferous rocks are the main
geological structures of this area, essential to the economy of the region. They are
overlaid by a thick layer of postglacial matter, such as sand, gravel and clay. Diversity,
distribution and condition of forest communities, which cover approximately 20% of
the area, are closely related to the character of habitats and to the type and intensity
of human impact (Celiński et al. 1991).
In patches of forest communities where Carex brizoides was recorded, the fol-
lowing habitat conditions were measured: slope, aspect, light (expressed by the cover
of tree layer). The cover of tree layer was expressed as a ratio of area covered by
crowns to the whole area (Scamoni 1967). The cover of tree stand as an indicator
of light conditions is a commonly used method that gives biased results related to
a given research worker (e.g. Słomka 1958).
For detailed laboratory analyses, taking into account seasonal properties of soils
(Izdebski et al. 1976), soil samples were taken from rhizosphere of C. brizoides, i.e.
ca. 10 cm. Litter depth was also measured. The samples were taken two times, in
various weather conditions and in different parts of growing season (Szwed 1986,
Węglarski 1991).
In total, 344 soil samples from 172 stands of C. brizoides in distinct types of for-
est communities were collected. In laboratory analyses basic physical and chemical
soil properties, ecologically important for growth and development of plants, were
taken into account (Czarnecka 1986, Dobrzański et al. 1987):
1) humidity – a method based on mass decrement after dessication in 105°C,
2) pH – measured in solution of KCl and in distilled water,
3) granulometric composition – by a method by Cassagrande modified by
Prószyński (Dobrzański and Uziak 1970),
4) organic carbon – by Tiurin method,
5) total nitrogen – by Kjeldahl method (PN–ISO 11261),
6) content of available phosphorous and potassium – by Egner method modi-
fied by Rheim (PN–R–04023),
7) content of available magnesium – by Schatschabel method (PN–R–04020),
8) ratio C:N based on percentage of both elements.
The results of analyses were presented in the form of ecodiagrams (Zarzycki
et al. 2002). The ecodiagrams show distribution of frequency of the species in va-
rious classes of values of ecological factors (Węglarski 1991). The presented ecodia-
grams allow determining ecological optima and phytoindicative value of the species

studied. It is assumed that ecological optimum of the species concerns this class of
a given variable (Table 1), where the highest frequency is noted (Szwed 1986). Eco-
diagrams is as a widely used graphical method of presentation in ecological studies
(e.g. Grime and Lloyd 1973, Zarzycki 1976a, 1976b). This method facilitates objec-
tive and explicit estimation of indicative value of plants. This method is appropriate
when the sample size is small (Möller 1992).
In order to introduce short characteristics of the species, analyzed ecological
factors were reduced arbitrarily to digital scale (Ellenberg 1952, Landolt 1977,
Ellenberg et al. 1992, Zarzycki et al. 2002) and listed in Table 1. The formula of
ecological behavior of C. brizoides comprises 14 numbers.
RESULTS
In the area of the Silesian Upland, Carex brizoides most frequently occurs in sites
with slope from 0 to 20º and variable exposure. The highest frequency of the spe-
cies was recorded in flat and sloping places (Fig. 2A) with south-western aspect (Fig.
2B). Canopy cover and light conditions occurring in patches with C. brizoides vary
in wide range from 10 to 90%. Most frequently the plant occurred in thinned tree
stands with the coverage of 60–80% (Fig. 2C).
Litter depth in patches with C. brizoides ranged from 0 to 8 cm. Most often the
studied species occurred in patches where litter depth ranged between 2 and 4 cm
(Fig. 2D). Soil humidity varied from 1 to 40%. In most patches with C. brizoides soil

was moist (Fig. 2E). The soil granulometric composition ranges from 5% to more
than 50% of floatable parts. The optimum of the occurrence of the species falls in soils
of average fertility medium loam (Fig. 2H).
Soil reaction (pH in H2
O) was between 3.2 and 6.8. In most samples it was between
5.6 and 6.0 (Fig. 2F). Exchangeable acidity of soil in patches with the studied sedge was
between 3.1 and 6.6, and the most numerous class was between 4.4–5.6 (Fig. 2G).
The content of phosphorus varied between 0.3 and 41.7 mg/100g of soil. In most
patches of C. brizoides, low and average contents of phosphorus in soils were recorded
(Fig. 2I). The content of magnesium ranged from 0.4 to 29.7 mg/100g of soil. C. brizo-
ides most frequently occurred on soils with low and average contents of magnesium
(Fig. 2J). The content of potassium varied between 0.2 to 21.0 mg/100g of soil. The
studied species reached the highest frequency on potassium-deficient soils (Fig. 2K).
The content of total nitrogen ranged from 0.1 to above 0.75%. The highest fre-
quency was recorded in average nitrogen-rich soils (Fig. 2L). The content of organic
carbon amounted from 0 to 8%. The most frequent were weakly humus soils (Fig.
2M). The ratio of C : N most frequently was between 10 and 20 (Fig. 2N).
Summarizing information from particular ecodiagrams, local ecological optima
for C. brizoides were obtained (Table 1). C. brizoides is a species that occurs most
frequently and with highest abundance in flat areas or on gentle SW facing slopes,
under thinned tree stands. The studied sedge prefers acid, moist soils with thin litter
and granulometric composition typical for medium loam, with the average content
of phosphorus, low and average content of magnesium, low content of potassium.
It occurs most frequently on soils with average content of nitrogen, low content of
humus, and with average conditions for humification.
DISCUSSION
The obtained results present the conditions of sites with the occurrence of Carex
brizoides in one geographical region. They were defined on the basis of data col-
lected only in forest communities (Sierka 2001). This limits the considered ecologi-
cal amplitude. It also does not permit to draw general conclusions. Nevertheless, the
Silesian Upland with respect to its geomorphology and array of habitats seems to be
representative area for the estimation of local ecological amplitudes of plants (Diek-
man 2003), and therefore it facilitates to create a model of their massive spread (Roo-
Zielińska 2004).
The obtained values of ecological variables for C. brizoides in the Silesian Upland
differ from those presented by Ellenberg et al. (1992) and Zarzycki et al. (2002),
because scales used by these authors were created due to relative weighting (Dzwon-
ko 2001) of the occurrence conditions of the species in large areas. The differences
in values results also from the limitation of studies to disturbed phytocoenoses in the
Silesian Upland (Cabała 1990, Kompała-Bąba and Sierka 2006). Furthermore,
some authors analyzed factors determining the presence of C. brizoides, using va-
rious scales. Species adapt to changes in environment after some time with certain

delay. C. brizoides is recorded mainly in human-transformed phytocoenoses and it is
considered as an indicator complex of biotopic changes.
High deposition of nitrogen originating from industrial pollution and high depo-
sition of phosphorus are considered as the main factors favoring the occurrence of

C. brizoides in forest communities (Szczepanowicz 1986, Binkley and Högberg
1997). It was not confirmed by the optima gained in this study based on frequency
of the species in forest phytocoenoses of the Silesian Upland. Both in relation to con-
tents of nitrogen and phosphorus as well as magnesium and particularly potassium
C. brizoides prefers soils of average richness and nutrient-deficient. It is probably
associated with the biological features of this species. The studied sedge uses growth
strategy typical for plants of poor habitats developing well in fertile habitats and si-
multaneously seeks new sites in case of exploitation of nutrients. It seems that C.
brizoides likewise Carex arenaria (Noble et al. 1979) stories great amounts of nutri-
ents in its organs. Most of storied nutrients do not return to soil, but are transported
from old decaying rhizome to their younger parts and are reused for building new
modules. The high rate of exchange of old modules into new ones enables the sedge
to occupy new sites. Perhaps C. brizoides occurred earlier mainly in poor habitats, but
at present it penetrates frequently more fertile biotopes as Carex arenaria when soils
undergo manuring (Noble et al. 1979). The acidity of habitats (pH of soil 4–4.5) is
the next factor encouraging the occurrence of the species. It was caused by practices
in forest management aiming to cultivation of pine (Anioł-Kwiatkowska 1993,
Czerepko 2004). Along with thinning of tree stands the release of mineral com-
pounds from organic matter is faster and they are more available for C. brizoides and
favour this species (Sierka and Orczewska 2001, Zarzycki et al. 2002). The sedge,
dominating in herb layer, produces hard-decaying biomass (Szczepanowicz 1986,
Paplińska 1987), and hampers the circulation of chemical elements in ecosystem
(Noble 1979).
The obtained results point at the wide ecological scale of C. brizoides, which oc-
cupies large spectrum of sites and eliminates species being better indicators of habitat
changes. The results of indirect evaluation of habitat conditions on the basis of the
occurrence of C. brizoides are burdened with big error and this species is not suitable
for analyses of habitat conditions using ecological indicators. The phytoindicative
importance of the studied sedge, based on its ecological amplitude, is minimal, be-
cause it does not meet requirements for phytoindicators i.e. narrow scale of response
to specific habitat factor. The research indicate the range of habitats in which this spe-
cies find favourable conditions for growth and development (Sierka 2001). Then, the
knowledge concerning detailed ecological amplitude of Carex brizoides may be used
in forest practice for work out the prevention methods or (at least) the limitation of
the species massive spread.

Autecology of Impatients parviflora DC. in natural forest communities

  • 1. AUTECOLOGY OF CAREX BRIZOIDES IN WOODLANDS OF THE SILESIAN UPLAND AND ITS PHYTOINDICATIVE IMPORTANCE Edyta Sierka, Zbigniew Wilczek Department of Geobotany and Nature Protection, University of Silesia, Jagiellońska 28, PL-40-032 Kato- wice; e-mail: edyta.sierka@us.edu.pl; wilczek@us.edu.pl Abstract: The objective of the study is to give a detailed characteristics of habitat requirements of Carex brizoidesinwoodlandsintheSilesianUpland.Theinvestigationswerecarriedoutinforestphytocoenoses, which were chosen according to the presence of C. brizoides. In patches of forest communities with C. brizoides measurements of slope aspect and inclination and light conditions were taken. Moreover, soil samples from the rhizosphere of sedge were collected and litter depth was measured. The results were presented on ecodiagrams, and on their basis, it was attempted to determine ecological optima of the species studied. The obtained results were compared with values of ecological indicators after Zarzycki et al. (2002) and Ellenberg et al. (1992), commonly used in indirect estimation of habitat conditions. Based on 344 soil samples taken from 172 sites with C. brizoides, it was revealed that the sedge most frequently occurred in phytocoenoses with litter depth 2–4 cm, three cover 60–80% and pH (KCl) between 4.4 and 5.0. It was evidenced that our results are considerably different from ecologi- cal optima given by Zarzycki and Ellenberg. These differences resulted probably from local character of the presented studies and anthropogenic origin of phytocoenoses analyzed. The results indicated that phytoindicative importance of C. brizoides is limited. Key words: phytoindication, autecology, Carex brizoides, forest communities, Silesian Upland. INTRODUCTION The massive occurrence of Carex brizoides in forests is a common phenome- non noted for several decades in many regions of Poland (e.g. Paczoski 1900, Hereźniak 1993, Sierka and Chmura 2004, 2006) and in neighbouring countries (e.g. Bulkonow 1975, van der Veen and Bremer 1997). As it was shown in pre- vious studies, phytocoenoses with herb layer dominated by this sedge are species- poor (Dzwonko and Gawroński 1994, Faliński 1998a, 1998b, Stachurska 1998, Sierka 2003) and more homogenous in terms of physiognomy (Krotoska and Pio- trowska 1962). These features are considered as characteristic for ceaspitization, a degeneration form of forest (Olaczek 1974). Most information on habitats with the occurrence of Carex brizoides came from floristic and phytosociological surveys (e.g. Izdebski 1972, Celiński et al. 1978, Anioł-Kwiatkowska 1993, Hereźniak 1993, Celiński and Czylok 1995, Stachurska 1998, Sierka 2003, Chmura and Sierka 2007). These studies, however, do not contain detailed autecological data. As Roo-Zielińska (2004) reported, investigations based on separate analysis of ecologi- cal factors have major application for estimation of plant resources, control methods of their expansion and broadening the concept of phytoindication (Diekman 2003). Therefore, the subject of present paper is the analysis of the occurrence of the sedge in forest communities of the Silesian Upland at the background of environ- mental conditions. ostateczna-makieta_Geobotanika.i285 285 2009-12-10 20:26:28
  • 2. 286 The aims of this study are: (1) to determine ranges and optima of habitat condi- tions in sites with Carex brizoides in forest communities in the Silesian Upland and (2) to indicate eventual possibilities of the use of the species in phytoindication. MATERIAL AND METHODS The fieldwork was conducted in 1998–2001, in the area of the Silesia Upland which covers 3925 km2 (Kondracki 1994). The Silesian Upland comprises 5 mesore- gions (Fig. 1) and is geologically diversified. Upper Carboniferous rocks are the main geological structures of this area, essential to the economy of the region. They are overlaid by a thick layer of postglacial matter, such as sand, gravel and clay. Diversity, distribution and condition of forest communities, which cover approximately 20% of the area, are closely related to the character of habitats and to the type and intensity of human impact (Celiński et al. 1991). In patches of forest communities where Carex brizoides was recorded, the fol- lowing habitat conditions were measured: slope, aspect, light (expressed by the cover of tree layer). The cover of tree layer was expressed as a ratio of area covered by crowns to the whole area (Scamoni 1967). The cover of tree stand as an indicator of light conditions is a commonly used method that gives biased results related to a given research worker (e.g. Słomka 1958). For detailed laboratory analyses, taking into account seasonal properties of soils (Izdebski et al. 1976), soil samples were taken from rhizosphere of C. brizoides, i.e. ca. 10 cm. Litter depth was also measured. The samples were taken two times, in various weather conditions and in different parts of growing season (Szwed 1986, Węglarski 1991). In total, 344 soil samples from 172 stands of C. brizoides in distinct types of for- est communities were collected. In laboratory analyses basic physical and chemical soil properties, ecologically important for growth and development of plants, were taken into account (Czarnecka 1986, Dobrzański et al. 1987): 1) humidity – a method based on mass decrement after dessication in 105°C, 2) pH – measured in solution of KCl and in distilled water, 3) granulometric composition – by a method by Cassagrande modified by Prószyński (Dobrzański and Uziak 1970), 4) organic carbon – by Tiurin method, 5) total nitrogen – by Kjeldahl method (PN–ISO 11261), 6) content of available phosphorous and potassium – by Egner method modi- fied by Rheim (PN–R–04023), 7) content of available magnesium – by Schatschabel method (PN–R–04020), 8) ratio C:N based on percentage of both elements. The results of analyses were presented in the form of ecodiagrams (Zarzycki et al. 2002). The ecodiagrams show distribution of frequency of the species in va- rious classes of values of ecological factors (Węglarski 1991). The presented ecodia- grams allow determining ecological optima and phytoindicative value of the species E S, Z W ostateczna-makieta_Geobotanika.i286 286 2009-12-10 20:26:29
  • 3. 287 studied. It is assumed that ecological optimum of the species concerns this class of a given variable (Table 1), where the highest frequency is noted (Szwed 1986). Eco- diagrams is as a widely used graphical method of presentation in ecological studies (e.g. Grime and Lloyd 1973, Zarzycki 1976a, 1976b). This method facilitates objec- tive and explicit estimation of indicative value of plants. This method is appropriate when the sample size is small (Möller 1992). In order to introduce short characteristics of the species, analyzed ecological factors were reduced arbitrarily to digital scale (Ellenberg 1952, Landolt 1977, Ellenberg et al. 1992, Zarzycki et al. 2002) and listed in Table 1. The formula of ecological behavior of C. brizoides comprises 14 numbers. RESULTS In the area of the Silesian Upland, Carex brizoides most frequently occurs in sites with slope from 0 to 20º and variable exposure. The highest frequency of the spe- cies was recorded in flat and sloping places (Fig. 2A) with south-western aspect (Fig. 2B). Canopy cover and light conditions occurring in patches with C. brizoides vary in wide range from 10 to 90%. Most frequently the plant occurred in thinned tree stands with the coverage of 60–80% (Fig. 2C). Litter depth in patches with C. brizoides ranged from 0 to 8 cm. Most often the studied species occurred in patches where litter depth ranged between 2 and 4 cm (Fig. 2D). Soil humidity varied from 1 to 40%. In most patches with C. brizoides soil Fig. 1.

  • 5. 289 was moist (Fig. 2E). The soil granulometric composition ranges from 5% to more than 50% of floatable parts. The optimum of the occurrence of the species falls in soils of average fertility medium loam (Fig. 2H). Soil reaction (pH in H2 O) was between 3.2 and 6.8. In most samples it was between 5.6 and 6.0 (Fig. 2F). Exchangeable acidity of soil in patches with the studied sedge was between 3.1 and 6.6, and the most numerous class was between 4.4–5.6 (Fig. 2G). The content of phosphorus varied between 0.3 and 41.7 mg/100g of soil. In most patches of C. brizoides, low and average contents of phosphorus in soils were recorded (Fig. 2I). The content of magnesium ranged from 0.4 to 29.7 mg/100g of soil. C. brizo- ides most frequently occurred on soils with low and average contents of magnesium (Fig. 2J). The content of potassium varied between 0.2 to 21.0 mg/100g of soil. The studied species reached the highest frequency on potassium-deficient soils (Fig. 2K). The content of total nitrogen ranged from 0.1 to above 0.75%. The highest fre- quency was recorded in average nitrogen-rich soils (Fig. 2L). The content of organic carbon amounted from 0 to 8%. The most frequent were weakly humus soils (Fig. 2M). The ratio of C : N most frequently was between 10 and 20 (Fig. 2N). Summarizing information from particular ecodiagrams, local ecological optima for C. brizoides were obtained (Table 1). C. brizoides is a species that occurs most frequently and with highest abundance in flat areas or on gentle SW facing slopes, under thinned tree stands. The studied sedge prefers acid, moist soils with thin litter and granulometric composition typical for medium loam, with the average content of phosphorus, low and average content of magnesium, low content of potassium. It occurs most frequently on soils with average content of nitrogen, low content of humus, and with average conditions for humification. DISCUSSION The obtained results present the conditions of sites with the occurrence of Carex brizoides in one geographical region. They were defined on the basis of data col- lected only in forest communities (Sierka 2001). This limits the considered ecologi- cal amplitude. It also does not permit to draw general conclusions. Nevertheless, the Silesian Upland with respect to its geomorphology and array of habitats seems to be representative area for the estimation of local ecological amplitudes of plants (Diek- man 2003), and therefore it facilitates to create a model of their massive spread (Roo- Zielińska 2004). The obtained values of ecological variables for C. brizoides in the Silesian Upland differ from those presented by Ellenberg et al. (1992) and Zarzycki et al. (2002), because scales used by these authors were created due to relative weighting (Dzwon- ko 2001) of the occurrence conditions of the species in large areas. The differences in values results also from the limitation of studies to disturbed phytocoenoses in the Silesian Upland (Cabała 1990, Kompała-Bąba and Sierka 2006). Furthermore, some authors analyzed factors determining the presence of C. brizoides, using va- rious scales. Species adapt to changes in environment after some time with certain A  CAREX BRIZOIDES   ostateczna-makieta_Geobotanika.i289 289 2009-12-10 20:26:30
  • 6. 290 delay. C. brizoides is recorded mainly in human-transformed phytocoenoses and it is considered as an indicator complex of biotopic changes.

  • 7. 291 C. brizoides in forest communities (Szczepanowicz 1986, Binkley and Högberg 1997). It was not confirmed by the optima gained in this study based on frequency of the species in forest phytocoenoses of the Silesian Upland. Both in relation to con- tents of nitrogen and phosphorus as well as magnesium and particularly potassium C. brizoides prefers soils of average richness and nutrient-deficient. It is probably associated with the biological features of this species. The studied sedge uses growth strategy typical for plants of poor habitats developing well in fertile habitats and si- multaneously seeks new sites in case of exploitation of nutrients. It seems that C. brizoides likewise Carex arenaria (Noble et al. 1979) stories great amounts of nutri- ents in its organs. Most of storied nutrients do not return to soil, but are transported from old decaying rhizome to their younger parts and are reused for building new modules. The high rate of exchange of old modules into new ones enables the sedge to occupy new sites. Perhaps C. brizoides occurred earlier mainly in poor habitats, but at present it penetrates frequently more fertile biotopes as Carex arenaria when soils undergo manuring (Noble et al. 1979). The acidity of habitats (pH of soil 4–4.5) is the next factor encouraging the occurrence of the species. It was caused by practices in forest management aiming to cultivation of pine (Anioł-Kwiatkowska 1993, Czerepko 2004). Along with thinning of tree stands the release of mineral com- pounds from organic matter is faster and they are more available for C. brizoides and favour this species (Sierka and Orczewska 2001, Zarzycki et al. 2002). The sedge, dominating in herb layer, produces hard-decaying biomass (Szczepanowicz 1986, Paplińska 1987), and hampers the circulation of chemical elements in ecosystem (Noble 1979). The obtained results point at the wide ecological scale of C. brizoides, which oc- cupies large spectrum of sites and eliminates species being better indicators of habitat changes. The results of indirect evaluation of habitat conditions on the basis of the occurrence of C. brizoides are burdened with big error and this species is not suitable for analyses of habitat conditions using ecological indicators. The phytoindicative importance of the studied sedge, based on its ecological amplitude, is minimal, be- cause it does not meet requirements for phytoindicators i.e. narrow scale of response to specific habitat factor. The research indicate the range of habitats in which this spe- cies find favourable conditions for growth and development (Sierka 2001). Then, the knowledge concerning detailed ecological amplitude of Carex brizoides may be used in forest practice for work out the prevention methods or (at least) the limitation of the species massive spread.
