Abstract
The concept of a map of the anthropogenic modification of the vegetation of Poland is based on the assumption that the nature of the process of synanthropization lies in substitution of the peculiar or endemic components by cosmopolitic ones, of autochtonic components by allochtonic ones and of stenotopic components by euritopic ones. The 7 degrees constituting the 7 fundamental cartographic units (symbols in the legend) describe the extent and trend of the progressing substitution of natural (autogenic) by anthropogenic vegetation and finally the changes in the latter. The degree of anthropogenic modification of the vegetation in each physico-geographical mesoregion of Poland expressed by one of the 7 degrees (I-VII).
