Actual problems of gene resources conservation of vascular plants in the Tatra National Park

The methodological problems connected with conservation of plant gene resources in national parks and their practical application in the Tatra are discussed. A basis for an effective conservation is adoption of an appropriate strategy for preservation „in situ" for each taxon, and when a need arises also „ex situ", based on constantly up-dated stock of information on distribution, abundance, biology and ecology of a taxon (summary see page 158—159)
