Abstract: The flora surveys in the tributary ditches on the meadow post-boggy object called Lower Supraśl River were carried out in the period of 2010– –2012. The plant communities on the slopes and on the bottoms were investigated due to stipulate the species diversity and area coverage by peculiar species. The studies shown that the kind and frequency of conservation works influence the flora state in the ditches, causing the biological diversity changes and its decreasing eventually. It was discovered that 43 vascular plant species were present in tributary ditches. Most of the species were found on the bottom-communities. The poorest communities were found on the slopes in the ditches mowed twice-a-year. In the plant communities in the ditches mowed once in three years more plant species were found that in the non-mowed ones. The conservation works relying on slope and bottom plants mowing and bottom desludgins should be performed in the way not-effecting the environmental functions of plant communities. The tributary ditches are nesting grounds for many birds and assert the life conditions for many fauna species.
