POSTGLACIAL HISTORY OF THE COMMON SPRUCE (PICEA EXCELSA (LAM.) LK.) IN THE LOW BESKIDS SEPARATING THE EAST FROM THE WEST CAPATHIANS

Summary: O postglacialnej historii świerka pospolitego w Beskidzie Niskim. Abstract: The succesive stages of the mapping of the range of the common spruce in Poland and the role of the results of palaeobotanic studies carried out in this range are recalled. Information about the fossil sites of this tree, clashing with the conception of the so-called Mid-Carpathian disjunction in the spruce distribution constitutes the essential part of the paper.
