Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is a widespread species throughout Europe and at the same time dominant in Polish forests of key importance wood industry. Pine stands are subjected to numerous environmental stresses, one them different physico-chemical biological properties post-agricultural soils compared forest soils, which may affect resulting its industrial suitability. The research material taken height 1.3 m from tree trunks (breast diameter, dbh) form sections discs was collected an...
Landslides and erosion processes cause a high level of morphological diversity which, over the course time, results in an increased forest species habitat biodiversity. According to principles landscape ecology, information concerning points convergence—understood as transition zones between elementary parts slope—could be interpreted surrogate for To recognize locations land surface disruption, convergence derived from high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM) were used research. It was...
Abstract Contrasting trophic theories of island biogeography try to link spatial patterns in species distribution and richness with dietary preferences, arguing that the turnover among habitat patches changes rank causing a systematic change proportion plants, herbivores, predators across habitats different size. Here we test these predictions using quantitative surveys spiders, herbivores as well omnivorous predatory ground beetles on undisturbed Polish lake islands. We found decreased...
Abstract The experiment conducted in the Kampinos National Park since 2015 is aimed at investigating relationship between dynamics of black cherry sprouting response and type term implementation mechanical elimination procedure. It also identifies macrofungi colonizing trees undergoing eradication. Three treatments, basal cut-stump, cutting (height: ca. 1 m) girdling, were performed on 4 terms: early late spring, summer winter. Each variant was within two plots, applied to 25 trees, 600...
This paper discusses details of the locality <em>Fistulina hepatica</em> recorded on <em>Castanea sativa</em>, a new host species in Poland. Since 2014, <em>F. has been featured list under partial protection, and marked as “R” (rare species) “Red macrofungi Poland”. A found Warsaw, Mokotów neighborhood, premises Central Clinical Hospital Ministry Interior Administration. Two basidiomata were discovered at base declining sweet chestnut tree.
Invasive Alien Plants occur in numbers differing by orders of magnitude at subsequent invasion stages. Effective sampling and quantifying niches rare invasive plants are quite problematic. The aim this paper is an estimation the influence frequency on explanation their local abundance. We attempted to achieve it through: (1) assessment occurrence self-regenerating urban woodlands, (2) comparison Random Forest modelling results for frequent species. hypothesized that abundance species would...
The results of bryological investigations from the "Boczki" nature reserve, located in Puszcza Romincka Forest, are presented.The reserve was established 1974 for protection well preserved forest communities characteristic Primeval Forest.154 bryophyte species were recorded -37 liverworts and 117 mosses, including 37 unpublished Forest.In respect frequency main group make rare -29.2%, least numerous frequent -21.4%.Terrestrial epixylic habitats richest -refer 98 85 respectively.Significant...
Understanding the relationship between disturbance and forest community dynamics is a key factor in sustainable management conservation planning. The study aimed to determine main factors driving unusual differentiation of vegetation into four communities, all coexisting on same geological substrate. fieldwork, conducted fluvioglacial sand area Central Poland, consisted sampling, together with soil identification up depths 150 cm. Additional parameters were measured laboratory. A...
Abstract This paper presents the results of an inventory plant communities urban forests in Warsaw. It covers occurrence forest associations and individual complexes. Due to their location within boundaries a large agglomeration, Warsaw’s city are particularly exposed anthropopressure. The share various degrees degeneration dominant forms complexes over whole surface under investigation was assessed. Possible causes conditions existing have been discussed; particular, context development use...
Abstract Acidophilous oak forests Calamagrostio arundinaceae-Quercetum petraeae (hartm. 1934 scam. et Pass. 1959) are mostly known from the western part of Poland, while its eastern border has not been determined accurately. in order to address this issue, we performed a phytosociological analysis two newly identified stands acidophilous forest located southern Mazovian Voivodeship near Kiedrzyn (vicinity Nowe Miasto nad Pilicą) and Mikówka Białobrzegi). For comparison, also examined...
Niniejszy artykuł prezentuje wyniki badań florystycznych przeprowadzonych w trakcie warsztatów terenowych Sekcji Briologicznej Polskiego Towarzystwa Botanicznego Tatrach 2022 roku. Eksploracje prowadzono czterech obszarach, po dwa Wysokich i Zachodnich. Łącznie zinwentaryzowano 82 gatunki wątrobowców. Największą bioróżnorodność odnotowano Wysokich, Waksmundzkim Żlebie na północnych stokach Mięguszowieckich Szczytów. Po raz pierwszy polskiej części Tatr odnaleziono dwie rośliny –...
Research was carried out on lake islands in the Mazurian region of NE Poland 2004.During study, 8546 specimens 190 spider species were caught by Barber traps.One male Emblyna brevidens (Kulczyński, 1897) found an island Lake Wigry (Wigry National Park).This site situated edge a peat bog with Salicetum pentandro-cinereae, surrounded wet alder forest.For first time complete diagnostic drawings and measurements for both sexes E. from are given.
