Popis: One of the undertakings of Silesian Botanical Garden is the preservation of biodiversity of natural associations occurring on its area. The most characteristic associations are field shrubs and hedges (Rhamno-Prunutea Rivas Goday et. Garb. 1961). They play an important role in agriculture, by increasing the amount of yields, soil prevention against degradation and erosion, improving the humus level and the availability of nutrient components. The presence of field shrubs and hedges improve the natural resistance of agrocenosis by increasing their biodiversity and creating suitable conditions for living, breeding and nestling of many species of animals and it is also a suitable environment for wild plants.This allows for significance reduction of used pesticides and other substances of chemical protection. That is why the field shrubs and trees are important factors influencing on agricultural environment. Besides that, field shrubs and hedges are correlated with the water management, decreasing the evaporation of water from the soil and improving the availability of water and nutrient components for the plants. The filed shrubs and hedges increase also the recreational and educational value of the region.
