Intermittently wet meadows of the Molinion alliance, as with many other grasslands high-nature value, have become increasingly exposed to abandonment due their low economic value. The potential consequences land are decrease in species diversity and environmental alterations. issue land-use induced changes plant composition soil physico-chemical parameters been rarely studied species-rich intermittently grasslands. In this study we attempt i) identify determinants patterns ii) investigate...
Due to social and economic changes which have occurred in the last decades, many meadows located mountain regions ceased be used. Abandonment of leads degradation their species composition. An example may seen development patches dominated by <em>Calamagrostis epigejos</em>. The aim this research was determine influence <em>C. epigejos</em> its consecutive expansion stages on qualitative properties meadow sward selected physico-chemical soils. study revealed strong...
The goal of this study was to evaluate the impact alkaline fly ash on selected microbiological properties soils in vicinity an electric power plant. specific objectives were as follows: first, determine metabolic activity and functional diversity soils, such biological indicators acidic soil; second, compare changes microbial based distance from dumping site located plant; third, profile pattern with different pH levels. revealed stimulation dehydrogenases (DHA) respiration (RESP) by ash. It...
The influence that different sampling methods have on the results and interpretation of vegetation analysis has been much debated, but little is yet known about how spatial arrangement samples affect patterns species composition environment–vegetation relationships within same type. We compared three data sets sample size obtained by standard methods: preferential, random, systematic. These were applied to a study area comprising 36 ha intermittently wet <em>Molinia</em> meadows....
There is still a lack of knowledge on the effect urban environmental factors bryophyte species distribution and richness. The goal this study was to fill that gap. We assumed hypothesis heat island most important factor affecting epiphytic in space. survey based network 500 one hectare plots, scattered throughout city Wrocław (SW Poland). A set 27 assessed field, as well by collection, processing, interpretation satellite imagery, LiDAR scans, climatological data. Canonical correspondence...
This study aimed to determine the impact of arable fields on diversity and species composition isolated meadow patches order Arrhenatheretalia. The was conducted in Sowie Mountains adjacent hills (SW Poland). vegetation analyzed along transects designated from edge up 33 m into patches. varied significantly zones directly affected by fields, proving their strong negative mesic grasslands examined. highest values index were recorded 9 away edge, while lowest found direct influence zone...
Plant phenology, i. e. the timing of life cycle events, is related to individual fitness and species distribution ranges. Temperature one most important drivers plant phenology together with day length. The adaptation their may be for success invasive species. present study aims at understanding how performance legume Lupinus polyphyllus vary latitude. We sampled data across a &gt;2000 km latitudinal gradient from Central Northern Europe. quantified variation in flowering fruiting L....
The aim of this study was to assess how the expansion Calamagrostis epigejos influences species composition and diversity forest, clearing, meadow communities as well habitat factors influence biometric variability features determining potential for in studied communities. conducted central part Sudetes Mountains (SW Poland). Four types with C. occurrence were chosen: a beech forest (Luzulo luzuloidis-Fagetum), Norway spruce monoculture, clearing community belonging Epilobietea angustifolii...
For many terrestrial plants, nitrate is the most important form of available soil nitrogen for growth. However, plant species, which grow on acidic, ammonium-dominated soils, exhibit a constantly low level reductase activity (NRA). Little known about NRA in high-mountain vascular plants similar conditions. We tested hypothesis that acidic and habitats have levels NRA. Twenty-six species families Asteraceae, Ericaceae, Poaceae, Polygonaceae, Salicaceae, Pinaceae, Ranunculaceae, Woodsiaceae,...
Abstract Data documenting the occurrence of epiphytic bryophytes in urban forests Wroclaw city were collected and reported for first time. Research was carried out 2015-2016, forest areas situated within administrative boundaries, to find whether some species from environs 19th century presently considered be primeval relicts occur forests. The survey using established network 50 study plots randomly scattered forested areas. In total 42 (4 liverworts 38 mosses) recorded on 467 trees; three...
Obszar Karkonoszy, zwłaszcza w partiach najwyższych, odznacza się dużą różnorodnością zbiorowisk roślinnych.Od długiego czasu są one poddane silnej presji różnorakich oddziaływań antropogenicznych.Presja szczególnie przybrała na sile ciągu kilku ostatnich dekad, a jej apogeum była katastrofa ekologiczna, która objęła
