Summary/Abstract: Meadows constitute more than 50% of the area of the Pisia valley. The flora existing in thesemeadows consists of about 200 species, of which 150 can be considered as typical of such habitats.The plants include 14 engendered, protected species. The flora of the Pisia valley meadows formsat least 15 semi-natural plant communities falling into four classes. The biotopes belonging to theclass Molinio-Arrhenatheretea dominate. Among them are rare, engendered: Molinietum caeruleae,Cericetum cespitosae and Arrhenatheretum elatioris. The meadow-type biotopes found in thePisia valley have been transformed substantially as a result of intensive utilisation and changes inthe habitats in which they occur. Five of the plant communities have been designated as highlyengendered.
