This article contains the evaluation of the diversity of the vegetation cover in the agricultural landscape of the Nida Basin (southern Poland). The results of the research have been elaborated with the use of the global phytosociology method and the concept of sigmassociations. On the area of the Nida Basin 14 complex (big) sigmassociations have been identified and within their limits 30 basic (small) sigmassociations have been determined. Within those units three complex forest and scrub sigmassociations with six basic sigmassociations, two complex non-forest sigmassociations with five basic sigmassociations as well as nine complex synanthropic sigmassociations with 19 basic ones have been distinguished. Key words: the Nida Basin, vegetation cover, agricultural landscape, the concept of sigmassociations, the potential cultural vegetation.
