In the years 1988, 1989, and 1991 a study was made of the ecotones of forest islands situated in agricultural landscape of the Masurian Lakeland. Spider communities were analysed from the point of view of the number of species, as well as of the numbers and biomass of plant - dwelling spiders. Common species and those exclusive for different zones of the ecotone transect: forest island interior-forest, ecotone crop field, were identified. Dominant species were identified as well. Discussion was made of the importance of the ecotone and its role as a barrier for forest spider species which prevents the major part of these species from spreading over the crop fields
