The research accounts for differences across voivodships and districts (powiaty), on the basis of two indices characterizing the changes in the number of machines in a given group in the period 2002–2010 (number as of 2002 = 100 points) and their numbers in 2010 per 100 ha of agricultural acreage. The spatial layout study demonstrates differences in agricultural holding sizes and external factors conditioning the Polish agriculture: natural, historical and urban. It has been shown that the analysed issues are characterized by a large territorial differentiation and that with the support in form of the Common Agricultural Policy resources, agricultural holdings are markedly better – technically equipped (nationwide, a downward trend was noted only in relation to the group of machines for root crops). This phenomenon was most pronounced in the agriculture of the south-east Poland, which has the highest agrarian fragmentation.}, type={Text}, title={Przemiany poziomu i struktury mechanizacji rolnictwa polskiego w świetle analizy porównawczej wyników spisów powszechnych rolnictwa z lat 2002 i 2010 = Changes in the level and structure of agricultural mechanisation in Poland in the comparative analysis of 2002 and 2010 national agricultural censuses}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/Content/61624/PDF/WA51_80946_r2016-t42_SOW-Rudnicki2.pdf}, keywords={mechanisation, agriculture, spatial differentiation, Common Agricultural Policy, Poland}, }
