Abstract:
The data present characteristics of the spatial pattern of vegetation in the Kocioł Świński Goryczkowy (upper part of the Goryczkowa Świńska Valley) and the Kocioł Gąsienicowy (the upper part of the Sucha Woda Valley), in the Tatra Mts. In the Kocioł Świński Goryczkowy the study area was located at between 1640 and 1890 m a.s.l. in the alpine and subalpine belt, while in the Kocioł Gąsienicowy it was located between1820 and 1970 m a.s.l. in the alpine belt. Vegetation data were collected on phytosociological releves at study plots. The data were collected during field surveys in June-August period in 1992-1993. The Braun-Blanquet scale was used to assess species cover. Soil samples were collected at the same site. The following properties of the soil samples were analysed in the laboratory: grain size composition by sieve method and the Bouycousa areometric method of in modification of Casagrande, conductivity and pH by potentiometry. In addition, pH and conductivity were measured in the field twice a year (spring and autumn) using a Hach 01 pH meter and Hach 01 conductometer. Data on vegetation, soils and geomorphological processes were used to identify a linkage between vegetation and relief.
