Abstract
Studies carried out between 1995 and 2001 on Iris sibirica allowed to discover 7 new stations and established condition of populations of the species in the Południowopodlaska Lowland. Among from 30 stations of Iris sibirica noted in the studied area, presence of 16 was confirmed. Decline in abundance of species are related to diminish of acreage of wet meadows [Molinietalia] due to both agriculture intensification and secondary succession of abandoned meadows. Avoiding anthropopressure [12 from 16 examined stations] populations of Iris sibirica pass to forest, shrub, and forest edge communities. Detailed descriptions of stations with phytosociological records, state of endangered and main threat agents for each population are also given.
