Studies aiming at the evaluation of nature and fodder value of grass-sedge communities were conducted in the years 2009-2013 in the Natura 2000 area in the Noteć Leniwa and Bystra valley on meadows with varied moisture and trophic conditions. They showed that a significant effect on the formation of grass communities, their richness and floristic diversity, as well as nature and agricultural value is exerted by moisture conditions resulting from habitat mosaic and management intensity. Most analysed communities of considerable nature value have mediocre productivity value, providing yields (d.m.) of 1.6 - 14.6 t. ha^-1. Their fodder value score FVS ranged from 1.1 to 7.4, while the calculated floristic diversity (H’) was varied and ranged from 1.2 to 4.2. Some of the communities are barren land.
