One of the newest applications of creeper plants is using them for noise reduction screens along the roads. They allow not only for integrating the acoustic screens into the landscape, but they can also make them stronger. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of Fallopia aubertii and Parthenocissus tricuspidata for planting near acoustic screens under salt stress conditions. Additionally, to compare the conditions of vegetative growth of the tested creeper plant species in practice, the soil from the separated points along the roads in Kraków of Wielicka and Opolska street (where the vines grew at the acoustic screens in particularly bad conditions) was subjected to chemical analysis, too. In experimental objects, where the doses of salt were the highest, the greatest part of plants died. The thesis that the sodium chloride had a negative influence on the tested species, contrary to frost, was confirmed by the fact that the majority of plants from the objects were the doses of salt were smaller and the plants which were growing in control objects, pass the winter time in very good condition. Experience has shown that the sodium chloride has a negative influence on all examined parameters of the tested creepers. The strongest and the best one under these conditions was Fallopia aubertii and the weakest and worst one turned out to be Parthenocissus tricuspidata.
