The differentiated way of small water bodies surrounding land use, as well as their use, appear to be one of the key components affecting the state and pace of change talking place in these reservoirs [19]. The aim of the study was to identify and characterize small permanent water bodies with an area less than 1 ha, located in the area of analyzed landscape parks, varied in terms of location and ways of land use. Accurate inventory of these valuable ecosystems should be the basis for the preparation of protection plans of these areas.
