ABSTRACT
The paper includes the Plan of Conservation Tasks of the Nature 2000 area Dąbrowy Ceranowskie PLH140024. Its main subjects of protection are two natural habitats: 9170 mid-European and subcontinental oak-hornbeam forest (Galio-Carpinetum, Tilio-Carpinetum) and 91I0* thermophilous oak forests (Quercetalia pubescenti-petraeae). State of preservation of both natural habitats was discussed as well the existing and potential threats were determined. Analysis of the obtained data allowed to define the main aims of conservation tasks and activities relating to maintenance or modification of forestry methods to be taken in order to improve the conservation status of habitats in the next 10 years. They would include: exclusion from the economic use the best developed and most representative plots of both protected forest phytocenoses, reduction in shrub layer and canopy cover (that would enable the proper development of helioand thermophilous species in herb layer of termophilous oak forests), elimination of ecologically and geographically alien tree species, and realization of activitiesconcerningexploitation of tree stands after vegetationseason (in order to the protect herb layer vegetation). Implementation of the Plan of Conservation Tasks would allow to use in practice a sustainable, pro-ecological forest management.
