The present study is a discussion of the interactions between different types water bodies in spatial arrangement river valley, taking into account landscape data. Hydrachnidia assemblages particular valley (oxbows, riparian pools, permanent ponds, flooded alder carrs, sedge marshes, and springs) are strongly influenced by landscape. Moreover, formation fauna type body also its origin. For example, faunas oxbow lakes pools would have many characteristics common, as these two can be characterized originating river. As 61 species common to Krąpiel River were noted. In river, direction migration from former latter was clearly predominant. Migration reverse direction, bodies, took place far lesser degree. CCA analysis variables showed influences certain parameters on mites. These should regarded indirect influences, but consequence their effects, they influence specific assemblages.
