Pea plants are sensitive to water shortages, making them less attractive farmers. Hoping reduce the adverse effects of drought on peas and considering benefits boron, this study aimed investigate impact boron nanoparticles antioxidant system oxidative stress biomarkers in drought-stressed peas. Experiments were performed a greenhouse. treated with suspension B2O3 at 12.5, 25, 50 ppm concentrations before ten days shortage. Drought induced by maintaining 30% substrate moisture. This...

This study evaluates the efficacy of innovative peat-free organic substrates and liquid fertilizers as alternatives to traditional peat in cultivation Fagus sylvatica L. Quercus robur seedlings a newly established forest Southern Poland. The experiment was conducted 2 × 4 experimental layout using randomized complete block design, comprising eight treatments that combined four substrate types (three novel one peat-based control) with two (solid liquid). After year growth, biomass nutrient...

In this study, the contents of selected heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Cd, Pb, Cr, and Ni) macroelements (C, N, K, P, S, Mg, Na, Ca) were measured in wild mushrooms growing a heavily polluted forest ecosystem northeastern part Upper Silesian Industrial Region. The research was conducted on 10 species belonging to three families: Boletaceae, Russulaceae, Suillaceae. Using spatial autoregressive model, study showed strong relationship between metal concentrations (especially Zn, Cd) distance from...

The atmospheric heavy metal pollution (lead, cadmium and zinc) of the Brynica district (one most polluted regions Poland) was assessed in top layer soils (0-20 cm), organic tissues common woodland moss Pleurozium schreberii. Samples were taken July 2008 at 31 points distributed over a 1500 x m grid. concentration trace elements changed depending on analysed material, distance from metallurgic complex "Miasteczko Slaskie" type metals. highest concentrations close to Miasteczko Slaskie. values...

C/N/P stoichiometry offers important indicators of ecosystem function and productivity. The aim this research was to determine how planting methods in biogroups influence soil plants. We hypothesised that methods, consisting different initial spacing shape would affect the growth characteristics trees, consequently, change properties – microbiological activity, particular. This examined two species have ecological requirements, silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) Swiss stone pine (Pinus cembra...

Abstract This study evaluates the effects of novel peat-free organic growing media and a liquid fertilizer on biometric features macronutrient allocation Quercus robur Fagus sylvatica seedlings with view to compare biomass nutrient plant organs in cultivated peat medium against those grown fertilizer. The experimental setup involved four variants, including as control (R20, R21, R22 C). were designed formulated by University Agriculture Kraków, Poland (UAK). Fertilization used state forest...

The macroelement (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, calcium, and magnesium) contents in individual parts of 1-year-old seedlings (leaves, shoots, root system) the common beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) were investigated. grown nine different densities peat substrate (0.196–0.317 g cm−3) 265 cm3 containers. It was found that compaction influenced content seedlings. With an increase compaction, there a decrease leaves (except for N). derived from this study compared to optimal indicated...

The study was conducted in the year 2010 Łysogóry Mts. Świętokrzyski National Park.Spring water samples were collected three rounds.The first round carried out after period of snowmelt (March/ April 2010), second -after intensive rainfall (May 2010) and third -when levels low (July 2010).The data set attained concerned conductivity, pH, also concentrations foremost anions (Cl -, NO 3 SO 4) cations (NH 4 + , Na K Ca 2+ Mg ).Spring quality assessed line with Polish policy on groundwater...

Abstract Dieback of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst) which has been observed in the Western Carpathians is interest to scientists from many disciplines.. The aim this study was determine impact deforestation on water chemical composition mountainous streams and springs. research carried out 2004 2013 two catchments Skrzyczne massif Silesian Beskid Mountains. Field studies included measurements pH conductivity. Under laboratory conditions, there were determined concentrations: Na + ,...

The large-scale dieback of spruce monocultures, especially in the lower alpine, has become a significant problem and necessitated restoration these areas, mainly using seedlings produced forest nurseries. primary source nutrients for can be slow-release fertilizers an appropriate dose fertilizer improves efficiency its use minimizes negative environmental impact associated with excessive mineral fertilizers. Aims: This study aimed to evaluate effect applying different combinations on...

Measuring the physical and chemical parameters of substrates in cells nursery containers during production is difficult. Monitoring these parameters, however, required for optimizing use their components production, specifically important progressive reduction peat. A new solution—leachate tables—for those studies presented. The leachate tables enable collection liquid samples draining from individual long-term irrigation fertilization. During our 2-month-long experiment, changes substrate...

Springs are natural outflows of groundwater to the surface and often only places gain insights into underground processes, especially in protected areas. Contact with rocks changes parameters water, its chemical composition, which can be easily expressed via hydrochemical typing using Szczukariew–Priklonski classification. Knowledge distribution compositions springs is essential for a good hydrological hydrogeological understanding given area. In previous decades, water remained mostly...

Forest-based natural climate solutions (F-NCS), in which restoring and managing forest are the possible options, getting more attention. The presented paper describes results of research on carbon stocks soil biomass 5-year-old Scots pine crops established after large-scale wind disturbance northwestern Poland. This study is follow-up a general ecosystem-scale CO2 fluxes investigation carried out around two existing measuring stations, equipped with eddy covariance (EC) systems. At area...
