Lichen and fungal ecology

In May 2018, three new populations of Saxifraga paniculata Mill. were found in the Skały Kroczyckie hills in the Wyżyna Krakowsko-Częstochowska Upland (Fig. 1). In Poland, S. paniculata is frequent only in the Tatra Mts and Pieniny Mts in the Western Carpathians; its occurrence in the Wyżyna Krakowsko-Częstochowska Upland consists of relict populations from the Pleistocene glacial (Vistulian). In the Wyżyna Krakowsko-Częstochowska Upland, Saxifraga paniculata occurs in four regions: the Dolina Będkowska valley, Olsztyn village, Podzamcze village and Skały Kroczyckie hills. The oldest locality was found in Olsztyn village by Professor Wojciech Jastrzębowski in 1847. The locality in Ojców village has not been confirmed for more than 150 years. All populations of S. paniculata in the Wyżyna Krakowsko-Częstochowska Upland are strongly endangered due to intensive tourism and rock climbing.
