In Poland Equisetum telmateia Ehrh. is a sub-mountainous species. In lowland regions it is fairly rare. A highly populated site of this species is noted near the village of Klasztorne in Western Pomerania. The investigation was carried out in the year 2006. In the investigated area giant horsetail chiefly occurs in forest phytocenoses on embankments and flood terraces of the river Kaczynka valley (Fraxino-Alnetum W.Mat. 1952, Ribeso nigri-Alnetum Sol.Górn. (1975) 1987). Very abundantly it grows in non-forest phytocenoses where on the river bank its fields are found on forest outskirts encroaching the area of a wet field (community of the Aegopodion podagrariae alliance). Horsetail shows different cover in the individual patches of phytocoenoses. However, it does not depend on the type of the phytocoenosis being directly associated with the degree of solar exposure.
