Root samples of all the plant species examined had AM fungal structures, and DSE fungal colonization was found in 80% of the plant species. Total AM and DSE fungal colonization and root length of plants with different fungal structures varied significantly between species.

Woronichinia Elenkin is a cyanobacteria genus characteristic of lentic ecosystems. The type species, W. naegeliana (Unger) Elenkin, often blooms in the plankton of eutrophic reservoirs but this genus also contains species sensitive to high nutrient concentrations. The study analyzed the diversity and biomass of Woronichinia in lakes in a national park, isolated from the direct impact of human activity. The lakes were in various trophic states resulting from gradual and natural changes of trophy. Trophy was assessed with the use of the trophic diatom index, according to the classification we proposed for natural lakes. The relationship between the biomass and the trophic state of lakes was investigated with the use of multivariate unconstrained analysis with supplementary variables. Five species of Woronichinia were identified in all trophic types of lakes except for two oligotrophic ones: W. compacta (Lemmerm.) Komárek & Hindák, W. delicatula (Skuja) Komárek & W. & Komárk.-Legn., W. obtusa Joosten and W. naegeliana (Unger) Elenkin. The occurrence and biomass of the species were related to the trophic state of the lakes. The absence of Woronichinia in two oligotrophic lakes could be due to the high concentration of humic compounds in the sediments. The low nitrogen-to-phosphorus ratio characteristic of the oligo-mesotrophic lakes resulted in increased species diversity. The lakes’ isolation from human activity fostered the development of rare and sensitive species such as W. delicatula and W. karelica .

The name was based on specimens he collected in the Pieniny Mountains, Western Carpathians, Poland. Aster alpinus var. glabratus is distinguished by its glabrous leaves which are ciliate at the margins, and involucral bracts (in the protologue inappropriately named ‘squamae calycinae’), as opposed to the nominal taxon with hairy (at least adaxially) laminae. Aster alpinus var. glabratus is widely distributed in the Western Carpathians (Poland, Slovakia) and Eastern Carpathians (Romania, Ukraine). Franz Herbich (1791–1865) visited the Pieniny Mountains in 1829, 1830 and 1832 (Herbich 1834: 564, 572). All the taxa from the Pieniny Mountains enumerated in his Additamentum were collected in 1829 (Herbich 1831: 6). Continuing a revision of Herbich’s collection, we found in the herbarium of the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv (LW) eight specimens collected by him in the Pieniny Mountains. Only two of them (LW 214582, LW 214579) come from 1829. Specimen LW 214582 is labelled A. alpinus without any intraspecific attributes. Specimen LW 214579 contains two labels with different names: A. alpinus var. glabriuscul[us] and A. alpinus var. pienninus, which, however, were never published. Remarks on the second of them conform to the diagnosis of A. alpinus var. glabratus stated in the protologue. Here we designate this specimen as the lectotype of the name A. alpinus var. glabratus (Fig. 1). On the herbarium sheet of LW 214577 the collecting date was given as ‘1829–1830–1832’; that is, the label includes all the years during which Herbich visited the Pieniny Mountains (Herbich 1834). The morphological characters of all the mentioned specimens suit the description of A. alpinus var. glabratus.
