We invite you to listen to Dr. Piotr Kosiński’s lecture entitled “Brambles in the plant cover of Poland."

There are more than 760 species of brambles in Europe, with about 110 species found in Poland. Brambles play a significant role in enhancing the biodiversity of forest ecosystems. Interestingly, it is not uncommon for the number of bramble species within a forest to exceed the combined count of all other tree and shrub species. However, despite their ecological diversity, many forestry studies tend to classify all European brambles under a single species (Rubus fruticosus).
