Abstract:

In the years 2003–2005, the diversity of amphibian species in Kozienice Forest was analyzed. Thirteen species of amphibians were found in 91 different water habitats. The most common were Rana esculenta, R. temporaria and Bufo bufo, the rarest Triturus vulgaris, B. viridis and T. cristatus. We confirmed the presence of all species which had been found in this area in the beginning of 70s. Beside the check-list of amphibians of this area, we recognized their preferences for several important features of the studied water habitats. The most obvious, was the tendency of green frogs, for inhabiting large and stable water bodies. The differences in species diversity and relative abundance between Kozienice Landscape Park and other protected forests were discussed.
