Expansive species classification with remote sensing techniques offers great support for botanical field works aimed at detection of their distribution within areas conservation value and assessment the threat caused to natural habitats. Large number spectral bands high spatial resolution allows identification particular species. LiDAR (Light Detection Ranging) data provide information about such as vegetation structure. Because differ in terms features during growing season, it is important...
Although understanding the relationship between reproductive mode and mass-dispersal potential of plants is crucial for studying invasion phenomena, morphological features invasive species’ pollen are not well understood. This study examined morphology variability three Reynoutria (knotweed) taxa ( R. japonica , sachalinensis × bohemica) in Europe, their reaction to different habitat conditions within seven distinguished types. The was sourced from 95 sites taxa’s range Central Europe. In...
Riparian zones in two rivers southern Poland were studied terms of species composition and soil parameters patches dominated by three knotweed taxa (<em>Fallopia japonica</em>, <em>F. sachalinensis</em> the hybrid <em>F.</em> ×<em>bohemica</em>). The main purpose was to detect any differences diversity, environmental conditions impact <em>Fallopia</em> spp. on resident species. Fieldwork conducted spring summer 30 invaded plots (in...
Alien vascular plants in the Silesian Upland of Poland: distribution, patterns, impacts and threats Symptoms anthropogenic changes flora include processes extinction some species spread others. These tendencies have increased magnitude recent centuries, adversely affecting natural biodiversity on a regional, national continental scale. The main idea behind project presented here was to investigate diversity alien at regional scale update list invasive for Upland. aim this study is also...
Allergenic invasive plant Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. in Poland: threat and selected aspects of biology The study presents the current state research on Poland within its wider scientific background gives results some field laboratory investigations. This annual is characterised by a high level production seeds, easily dispersed different vectors. Ragweed pollen strong allergen considered to be one most dangerous allergens world. Being serious hazard human health, it also as an "environmental...
The general trend of ongoing plant invasion and the increasing number species that may become invasive in future, force seeking solutions can improve efficiency economy their management. Thus, we applied a novel approach combining use geostatistical interpolators such as ordinary kriging (OK) co-kriging (CK) with environmental hyperspectral data to evaluate potential threat associated distribution predict probabilities occurrence above selected threshold 10%. specific spatial patterns...
Abstract The participation of species alien origin in the flora individual regions world is increasing. A large proportion these pose a threat to biodiversity. Issues dynamics changes and scale pace processes, with particular emphasis on biology, ecology, chorology, genetic variability populations plants origin, including those which are invasive, have been subject many years research this field Poland. present study an overview state invasive plant Poland, main results basic applied...
The knotweed taxa Fallopia japonica, F. sachalinensis and their interspecific hybrid × bohemica are some of the most aggressive invaders in Europe North America they serious threats to native biodiversity. At same time, constitute a unique model system for creation hybrids studies initiation evolutionary processes. In presented study, we focused on (i) examining genetic diversity selected populations three invaded (Poland) ranges (Japan), (ii) establishing genome size ploidy levels (iii)...
Abstract The aim of this study was: (i) to complete and verify the prior review research on alien plants conducted in Poland practical use their results, (ii) attempt assess contribution from area an international level. analysis was performed based information gathered during a literature search which covered last 200 years, using over 1400 publications out 3000 were available pool. As result, main areas biological sciences context undertaken (distribution, ecology biology species), most...
Species of the Festuca and Lolium genera, as well intergeneric × (Festulolium) hybrids, are valuable fodder turf grasses for agricultural amenity purposes worldwide. Festulolium hybrids can merge in their genomes agronomically important characteristics. However, polyploid plants, especially allopolyploids, hybridization divergent could contribute to various abnormalities, such variability chromosome number, structural rearrangements, and/or disorders inheritance patterns. Here we studied...
Open pit mining leads to irreversible changes in topographical relief, which makes a return the original morphology virtually impossible. This is important for quarries that were part of former areas. research presents an innovative approach reconstruction relief anthropogenically transformed land on example Liban Quarry Cracow, where operations began before 1873 1986. The basis reconstructed area was Topographic Map Poland with scale 1:10,000 from 1997, set data obtained perform spatial...
Abstract In recent years, programmes aimed at improving environmental conditions in river valleys within urban spaces have been initiated many of the European Community countries. An example is project “Revitalization Urban River Spaces – REURIS” which was implemented 2009-2012. Its main aim to revitalize a part valley Ślepiotka Katowice. One tasks comprehensive treatment combat invasive plant species occurring this area, carried out by using combination chemical and mechanical methods....
This study deals with the current issue of synanthropisation plant cover which manifests itself, amongst other ways, in spreading species outside limits their natural distribution range. The aim studies undertaken for present report was to estimate type and scale threat posed by alien native diversity. were carried out using example Reynoutria (Fallopia) (knotweeds), are considered be invasive our country as well regions world. is an attempt determine impact these plants on composition...
Rozwój kolekcji i baz danych w zakresie przyrody ożywionej na Uniwersytecie Śląskim jest ściśle związany z ponad 50-letnią historią studiów biologicznych tej uczelni. Wraz rozwojem struktury organizacyjnej, pierwotnie Instytutu Biologii, a następnie Wydziału Biologii Ochrony Środowiska (od 2020 r. Biotechnologii Środowiska; IBBiOŚ), tworzyły się zespoły badawcze botaniczne zoologiczne, które ramach prowadzonych badań, także indywidualnych zainteresowań pracowników naukowych, gromadziły...
The range of natural environmental degradation caused by anthropogenic activity may include geomorphological forms such as dunes resulting from the build-up wind. In effect, transformation affects changes connected not only with their relief, but also presence and health diverse plant animal inhabitants. subject survey was a parabolic dune asymmetric shape, sand which subjected to exploitation over many years. Terrain data acquired means GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) served...
