Subject of modernization and general siuation Vey special location of Poland, and particulady the Province of Szczecn the near border with gemany, and the contact with denmark and Sweden through Baltic Sea gives the Region and the Country the oppornity of great economical development The transport network meeting the standards of European Union is of vital meauing (expwss motorways, highways) and it is the basc condition for economical cooperation with West Europe and Scandinavia. To reach this target it is absoluscly necessay to modernize the internatonal road connections Nordt - South i.e. motorway E-65. The motorway E-65 is included hn directipial road syste. of fiast motorways at the part (Malmoc, Ystad, gwinoujscie feny through Baltic Sea) between 9winoujAcie and Szczccin meant as the express motorway, and further on from Szczecin up to the southern border of Poland (Lubawka and fwrther on to Prague) meant as the highway. 3 The parT of the road 9winouj9cie - Szczecin runs through the area of special care. i.e. environmental proectiom particularly at the area between zalesie - Dargobq# through Wolin National Park and projected protection zone of Miqdzyzdroje Forest Inspectorate. To decreas the conflicts bewecn the interests of the invcsunent and the natural environment at the area between 9winoujicie and Par%owko. there were three versions I dcvelopeti The modernizanon versions were investigated in the view of thcir advantages and disadvantages, particularly in case of conflictless aspect of home road no.3 (inerational route E-65) at the area under protection (by Mr.&Mr. Popiel, Sidorczux 1995). A the noment the route A3, despite it does not conibml the standards of technical -equirements of express roads, plays an essential role for transit traffic fro Scandinavian Countnes to the suth of Europe. -2 - r~'j : DODP S:czccin PHOE S:.: 48 91 843997 Feb. 15 1996 e5:46AM PM3 2. Environment background 2.1 Environment structure at Wolin Island The Wolin National Park is located on the island of Wolin at the mouth of Odra River in the Province of szozecin. The boundaries of the park encompass the central postglacial, hilly part of Wolin Island. an area covered by the forests. The park was created on March 3. 1960. At present it covers the area of 5001 ha ((90%), where 165 ha (3%/6)remains under strict protection including 146 ha which are forested. The park is divided into S protection zones (fore:, divisions). The grounds are domonated by moraine heights covcrcd with European beech, birch and oak forcsts. A vast majority of the park's area is covered with forests - 4420 hi, wbat equals to 94%. The area of 163 ha ame stricly protected that makes 3.3% of total park area. The remaining 2,.7% of thc area comprise waxersand land under utilization. The Park-kstaff conduct their own scientific research, mainly of documentary naturz.The park lhas got its ow-n meteorological station in Wamow, where meteorological phenomena are recorded and registered, in the scope defined for 3rd order stations. For five years. the rcsearch on air pollution (monitoring the forests environment) was carried out in 6 locations. In 1992, the Parkls Management made a motion to the Ministry cf Unvironment Protecton, Natural Resources and Forestry to exend the parkWs area (by 700 ha). Thc plan was to include the area of the flooded regions of ~wina Revcrse delta, adjacent watcrs of Szczecin Bay (two lakes: Wicko Duze and Wicko Make), and the strip of sea water with a breadth of I nautical mile. Extending the parkes area by sea water and Szczecin Bay. and especiaUlyby the regions of gwma Delta would enrich the natural world imthe park by several ccosystems typical for our coasdine. The park is presently in a very disadvantageous situation because it does not have a protection zone, something that was denied by Authorities vnthout enough sufficient justfication. This occurrd despite the fact that a plan had I been elaborated for cultivation of the entire park. In addition the is an impact \k- io kccqpthe vacalion resorts ciasting m the park running. AIl the resorts are | being developed and modernized.t FROM P S=:_:ecin__ PHPN: NO. 48 91 843997 Feb. 15 .996 05:47PM P84 2.2 Fito - sandzoocenosks protected within Woln National Park The oak forests, the stucture of which is sinilar to natural forests. are especially well preserd. They repmesentassociatons of Pomeanian beech wood. The area is dominated by the grassy beech woodMelhco-Fagelum and acid beech woodLUzullo-Faggenum.The best preserved grassy beech wood associations arc protectcd in two srict protection reserves located nearby Wapnica town in the south of the park. The most ferdle - the orchid - like the beech wood Cephmtherorubrae-Fogeum - can be found in the region of cliffs locad in Prof. Czubifisli's stict reserve. There are scveral orchidaceous species there , e.g. Cephalahnhcra rubro, Ncouta nidus-avis or few others. The feature of this fertile forest su m from its proximity to the sea and the high cliffs. Small grain sand is blown from the steep slopes creating a certn type of soil refered to as cliff embankement. Brown acidic or kiched away soils produced from waste bank sands of low clay contents, are good home for forest habitatFlago-Quercelum A large area is covered by the mixed forest habimtrFago-Quercenum. It is characterized by a belivel tree stanid. The top level is dominated by pine with a mixture of European beech and oak. Piine associations Emp:ero-Pineum have formed on podsolic soils produced from loose sands. It occur in the eastern part of the park in thc Wiscika region. In the waterlogged habitats along the coast of Szczecin Lagoon there appear. among the others: the royal fenmsnmumndaregais. the European wax-myrtle M>ica gale. angelica Archangelica liroralis, bolygass H1erochloc odora,o and many species of halophyrcs. -4 - FRflM DMP Szc:ecin PONE NO. : 48 91 843995 Fe. 15 :93 0:4EPI F1S -C13bamikincitt.Br3owti acidic or leaclhed nway soils produced froin waste basik sundswili low clay costcitl nrc lsonmele) moixedforcst lubitat qags:-QuercJu,uj.
