Item type:Article, Access status: Open Access , Kamieniołomy surowców węglanowych w regionie świętokrzyskim przykładem korytarzy ekologicznych(2007) Barga-Więcławska, JadwigaStudies of malacofauna and vegetation in quarries of carbonate rocks in the Swiętokrzyskie region were carried out in the period between 1999-2005. The investigations were conducted on waste heaps and workings, and demonstrated the differences in ecological conditions between heaps and workings. Snail studies were performed using the quantitative method. The study revealed the presence of 57 snail species which constitutes 58% of all snail species occurring in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains. The most abundant snail communities were observed in the »Zygmuntówka« quarry, in »Miedzianka« and »Wietrznia« quarries, and in the area of the historical galena mine on Karczówka in Kielce. Terrains changed by mining are habitats of rare and endangered plant and snail species. The following snail species should be mentioned: Cecilioides acicula, Clausilia bidentata, Acantinula aculeate, Trichi lubomirski, Helix pomatia and Helix lutescens. Nine southern species were identified. Malacofauna of post-mining areas is a manifestation of transformations progressing in natural environment of our region.
