Abstract In 2023, prospection of a dried-out lake near Papowo Biskupie in north-central Poland identified substantial deposits bronze artefacts. Excavation revealed further and dozens human skeletons that date from 1000–400 BC, suggesting the site held particular significance as place for sacrificial offerings Lusatian culture.
The paper presents an assessment of the degree flora synanthropization salt marshes along Noteć Canal in vicinity soda works Mątwy and Janikowo, mine Góra, at spa Inowrocław, vestern Kuyavia. Salt were located mainly pipelines that supply brine from to industrial production, medical care recreation carry saline municipal wastewater places its disposal and, after preliminary treatment, Vistula River. In previous studies, we recorded occurrence 117 vascular plant species, which assigned...
There is no sign of saturation in accumulation alien species (AS) introductions worldwide, additionally the rate spread for some has also been shown to be increasing. However, challenges gathering information on AS are recognized. Recent developments citizen science (CS) provide an opportunity improve data flow and knowledge while ensuring effective high quality societal engagement with issue IAS (Invasive Alien Species). Advances technology, particularly on-line recording smartphone apps,...
Abstract Aerial hyperspectral and multispectral satellite data are the two most commonly used datasets to identify natural semi-natural vegetation. However, there is no documented analysis based on from several areas concerning difference in classification accuracy of non-forest Natura 2000 habitat with use aerial data. Also, recommendation, which can be classified sufficient using free images. This study aimed analyse habitats representing: meadows, grasslands, heaths mires between...
Invasive alien species (IAS) is a global problem that largely relates to human activities and settlements. To prevent the further spread of IAS, we first need know their pattern distribution, determine which constitutes greatest threat, understand habitats migration pathways they prefer. Our research aimed identify main vectors distribution IAS plants in city environment. We checked relations between such environmental factors as urban soil type habitat type. applied data on occurrence...
The study aims to identify long-term trends in the changes of drought occurrences using Mann-Kendall (MK) test and Theil-Sen estimator. Trend research was carried out on example catchment area Upper Noteć River, which covers an agricultural Poland with some lowest water reserves. meteorological droughts were identified based Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), while hydrological determined basis Runoff (SRI) various time scales (1, 3, 6, 9 12 months) period 1981–2016. relationship...
Natural inland salt marshes of the temperate zone, which have been under protection for years, are still endangered and shrinking. Unfortunately, there not many works devoted to practical solutions this problem in literature. To fill gap article presents results interdisciplinary research on reclamation example a nature reserve Central Europe. The reserve's vegetation, soil seed bank, soil, water land geology were analysed. reclaim area, it was proposed using brine from nearby health resort....
Inland salt marshes are recognized as habitats of unique and valuable vegetation at the European scale. There is still a lack generalization regarding its syntaxonomy environmental requirements, which needed for effective protection. To falsify our hypothesis about dependence on requirements we aimed description syntaxonomical units present in temperate inland identification their main drivers. In work focused from northern part to limit confusion related geographical ranges species. We...
A functional trait-based approach is crucial for understanding ecosystem function, persistence, and protection. Vegetation in inland salt marsh habitats has been recognized as unique on a European scale legally protected under the Natura 2000 network. Despite long-term international protection, this continues to decline. The concept of protection refers vegetation sense syntaxonomical units. However, no link found between concepts vegetation. We aimed identify traits that are distinctive...
Abstract The currently used standardised precipitation index (SPI) does not allow for a reliable assessment of the impact drought due to small and unevenly distributed network meteorological stations. Hopes developing methods assess droughts are pinned on remote data acquisition use analysis aerial photographs satellite scenes. aim this study is occurrence based normalised difference vegetation (NDVI) SPI at multiple time scales (1-, 3-, 6-, 9- 12-month). NDVI values do simply reflect...
Zusammenfassung Im Herbst 2020 entdeckte eine Gruppe von Detektorgängern auf einer bewaldeten Düne in der Nähe des Dorfes Cierpice Nordzentralpolen 150 Bronzefunde. Der Fund umfasst Backenstücke, Phalerae, Rassel- und Terretringe sowie Zügelmanschetten mit Drahtgliedern, die einst Teil eines Pferdezaumzeugs aus Endbronzezeit waren. Die Zaumzeugteile wurden zusammen einem Tüllenbeil Pflanzenfasern eingewickelt dann sorgfältig einen organischen Beutel gelegt, verrottet war. In diesem Artikel...
Over 800 million hectares of land worldwide are affected by salinity. Predicted scenarios global climate change include a rise in sea level, which may severely affect coastal forest areas. Black alder (Alnus glutinosa) is tree species known to tolerate heavily waterlogged soils, but its salt resistance still unclear. The aim our study was assess A. glutinosa growth under soil salinity as possible for wet, salt-affected sites changing environment due change. We hypothesised that: a)...
The relief of the Zadroże Dune was described, as well comparison done on its vegetation cover and flora in two phases development, i.e. before afforestation dune approximately 60 years after reconstruction forest. first state described paper dated 1949. During that period constituted common study area for research team consisting ecologists geographers from Nicolaus Copernicus University. Our contemporary scientific studies were carried out 2009. In comparative analysis, a particular...
The paper presents the location and general description of habitats plant communities with common milkweed occurring within city limits Toruń. data set comprised new localities this species as well those where Asclepias syriaca has beenobserved for several years but sites have not been described in ecological literature. Relevés made at these were compared by Puchałka et al. (2013) from three A larger included analysis allows a more accurate impact exerted some factors, e.g. afforestation,...

The dune hill in Folusz is one of the most interesting sites with xerothermic vegetation Polish lowland. It different from other by fact that covers a single located amidst large areas Molinia meadows rather than slopes river valleys. Vegetation occurring on represents cold Stipa steppe rare species floodplain and has long aroused interest botanists. In 19th century early 20th century, observations this area were carried out German botanists (L. Kühling, F. Spribille, H. Miller, W. Bock)....
The archaeological site of Ryńsk in north-central Poland produced sound evidence long-distance journeys people and pottery from the 6th millennium BC Central Europe by yielding a sophisticated ceramic footed bowl that can be traced to Carpathian Basin region. Archaeology indicates earliest vessels had different functional, social ritual role, but it is difficult convey information on significant role ancient societies way would pique interest general public.
