Biodiversity in space and time

Information about natural processes is crucial in the context of biodiversity conservation. It is also necessary to determine potential factors of biodiversity reducing. We suggest to perform an inventory of flora and soil diversity with main emphasis on key biogeocenosis (the most essential in sense of rare species conservation).

Quarry’s relief and geological structure create diverse conditions for living organisms. It must serve as a prerequisite for potentially high spatial biodiversity. It should be also noticed that in quarry conditions there are plots with similar relief features, but with different times of overgrowing. It will help us to study changes of biodiversity in time scale. In the result, we are going to give recommendations directed to biodiversity conservation and connected with exploitation of a part of quarry, which is aimed to recreational purposes.
