Intensive black coal exploitation has lasted here more than 200 years and especially intensively – since the mid-20 th century. The results of terrain subsiding over empty places after coal exploited are most often water reservoirs of different size and various shape. The above-mentioned reservoirs play different role in the landscape, among others geomorphological, hydrological, biological and aesthetical one. They very often are unexpected element from economical point of view because they bring economical losses in agriculture, forestry, building industry, communication. The part of older reservoirs has already "set" into the landscape and functions as its natural element.

The example of this is the formation of typical ecological systems in river valleys together with characteristic elements entering into the composition of biocenoses. Due to improvement in the state of ecosystems these species, formerly being at the edge of total extinction, increased in number in their own populations. It is the example of spontaneous development of ecosystems once human pressure ceased.

Until recently it was the largest blow sands area in Poland and the largest continuous, inland dune sand area in Central Europe with interesting landforms resembling the sandy desert landscape, numerous rare and protected species of flora and fauna as well as sand grasslands (www.pustynia-bledowska.eu). The Błędów Desert is located in the eastern part of the Silesian Upland, at the base of the Upper Jurassic cuesta separating it from the Cracow-Częstochowa Upland. It stretches from Błędów (a district of Dąbrowa Górnicza) in the west to a village called Klucze in the east. The northern border of the desert is outlined by Chechło, while the southern border is a large forest area. The desert has almost 10 km in length and 4 km in width. It is crossed from east to west by the Biała Przemsza river. The name of the Desert was introduced in the 20 th century by W. Nałkowski, ...

Five sites in a taiga zone, one in a forest-steppe lone and one in a steppe zooe: have been investigated. Whereas the morpho-fonning influence: of the wind is obvious in lIle area investigated, the role of the wind is important only in respect of grain size distribution and is not an imponant foctor in determining in quanz grain abrasion size.

Variability in time and space related with the main aribute of material mobility is one of the essential features of nature including relief. The aim of this study is to show the selected geomorphological and sedimentological results of sandy maer circulation (formation of new landforms and microforms) and to determine the importance of wind in this process within large active sandpits in the Silesian Upland in the southern part of Poland, which are areas of sand circulation, intensified by anthropogenic factor. The human impact very oen entails certain changes of relief. Based on direct observations of variability of sandy landforms and microforms, it is assumed that an intensive circulation of sandy material has been taking place in the areas analysed. During the period of observation, repeated transitions of sandy material from one environment into another occurred, what resulted in the formation of new landforms, which, in their turn, underwen...
