Abstract

In Poland and most of the areas of Europe, the beech, that is, Fagus sylvatica L. is one of the most vital species found in the species composition of forests. A number of the species of foliophages tend to develop on the leaves, which may contribute to the dieback of the tree. The demonstrated results are the effects of the research conducted in 2018 in the Cisów-Orłowiny Landscape Park. Subsequently, 11 species of foliophages were initially discovered there. Such species were inclined to form galls and the miner damages to the beech leaves. Among 4,000 of the analysed leaves, 398 galls and 498 leaf miner damages were found. They were caused by the representatives of insects and mites.
