   Having received the manuscript the editor decides whether it is to be considered or sent back to the author, thus giving up publication of the article. In the first case the subsequent procedure depends on the reports submitted by two reviewers.
 

   Structure of the manuscript
   The length of a complete article, i.e. text, tables, illustrations and list of references should not exceed 14 ISO A4 sheets (double spaced, margins 2-3 cm). A single table should not exceed an A4 sheet. Pages and lines on each page should be numbered consecutively.  The first text page should carry the title of the paper, forenames (in full) and surname of each author followed by the name(s) and full address(es) of the department(s) and institution(s) to which the paper should be attributed. The text should normally be divided into: abstract (untitled) 200-250 words long, key words (up to six terms from the latest CAB Thesaurus edition), a short review of literature (without the „Introduction” subtitle), Material and methods, Results and discussion (including conclusions), Acknowledgements (if applicable), References, Summary in Polish (not obligatory for foreign authors).
   Authors are asked to look over the present issue and follow the presentation of the texts.


   References
   The full list of references should be printed on a separate sheet in alphabetical order and include only papers cited in the text. Different papers having the same author(s) and year should be distinguished by a, b, c etc., following the year of publication. The list should contain surnames and initials of all authors, year, full title of an article, full name of the periodical, volume number, first and last page numbers. When conference proceedings are cited the full name of the conference, venue and dates must be given.
   In the text refer to the author’s name (without initials) and year of publication in square brackets, e.g. [Smith 2005].
 

   Tables and measurement units
   Tables should not appear in the text, but be placed, together with their captions, each on a separate sheet, at the end of the manuscript. Tables should be numbered consecutively in the order of their first citation in the text.
   All measurement units should be given according to the SI system.
 

   Illustrations
   Illustrations should be reproducible (in JPEG or TIFF format). Figures should be professionally drawn or photographed; freehand or typewritten lettering is unacceptable. Titles and detailed explanations in the captions for illustrations belong not to the illustrations themselves and should be presented together on a separate sheet at the end of the paper. All illustrations (diagrams, photos, etc.) should be referred to as „Fig.” or „Photo” and numbered consecutively in the order in which they first appear in the text.
