Abstract The risk exposure of bee colonies to the toxicity systemic neonicotinoid insecticides was assessed. Various methods chemical prevention commercial winter and spring oilseed rape crops in field-realistic conditions were taken into account assessment. Pesticides applied accordance with actual agricultural practice. Commercial crop protection products thiamethoxam, clothianidin or imidacloprid used as seed treatment. Formulations containing acetamiprid thiacloprid for spraying. Fifteen...
The role of nature in enhancing urban well-being is well-established, but perceived naturalness may not always align with scientific definitions. Our study aimed to investigate whether areas selected for nature-related activities demonstrate increased biodiversity, offer diverse experiences, and integrate both social ecological perspectives. We bridge the gap between objective richness. Integrating environmental parameters, we considered indicators, such as presence rare species, subjective...
Abstract The present studies are the second part of research project dedicated to finding causes for increased winter mortality honey bee colonies. aim this task was investigate incidents overwintered colonies′ death with regard potential interrelation exposure pesticides. samples stores bread and sugar food (honey or syrup processed by bees), beeswax bees collected from apiaries low high rates colony were searched acaricides used control V. destructor plant protection presence in apiculture...
According to many scientific studies, ellagitannins are beneficial for human health. One of the sources these compounds is strawberry press-cake. This material can be used production dietary fiber or ellagitannin preparations. The health safety press cake and preparations that rich in obtained from it depend on pesticide residue levels, mainly fungicides, which protection. aim work was a risk assessment measured by %ADI (acceptable daily intake) MOE (margin exposure) associated with presence...
Urban lakes, especially those of natural origin, provide ecosystem services, recreation being one the most important and highly valued by city dwellers. Fulfilling needs residents to relax have contact with nature has become a priority in urbanized areas been proven positively affect people’s health well-being. The recreational potential water bodies was identified be aspect services neighboring areas. An assessment (RES) provisioning society based on real time spent citizens housing values...
Public access to high quality green environments has become a key issue for city managers and matter of environmental justice. Urban pressures on ecosystem remnants may act favor the expansion some invasive species in cities. Whilst negative impacts function is well documented, little known about how influence use space by people. Here, we examined one few urban riparian forests Europe, Vistula river valley Warsaw, which recently an attractive recreation site. Despite their ecological value,...
In this study, we investigated the possibility of replacing existing lawns located in urban parks with patches energy crop plantations as a way to reduce maintenance costs. We selected six sites on edges Warsaw (Poland), characterized by low aesthetical value, high noise levels, and vegetation diversity. For these sites, evaluated plant species from social economic perspective. conducted face-to-face interviews park visitors assess public's perception aesthetic value crops using series...
In urban areas, particulate matter (PM) represents an increasing threat to human health. The ability of plants in parks and along roads cities accumulate PM has already been demonstrated, but nothing is known about the effect wasteland vegetation on air quality, despite a significant proportion greenery polluted areas being wastelands. aim this study was document accumulation trace elements (TE) by species (Robinia pseudoacacia L., Populus × canescens (Aiton) Sm., Acer negundo Solidago...
Urban wasteland is of special interest to city planners. However, integrate such areas into space management with consideration nature conservation aspects, a sound assessment their ecological potential necessary. The aim this paper was analyze whether carabid beetle assemblages the wastelands are affected by soil parameters, particularly trace element contamination. Therefore, we studied fauna in relation selected parameters on 56 sampling plots situated 24 located Warsaw (Poland). results...
Urban areas are characterised by polluted air which endangers the health and quality of life city dwellers. Among dangerous contaminants is particulate matter (PM) one main sources PM in urban road traffic. Studies have already shown that can be phyto-cleaned plants, especially trees shrubs. However, for safety reasons, planting shrubs some places problematic, e.g. close to roads. These locations usually occupied lawns, plant communities low ecological value. Unfortunately, too little...
Leaf surface wetness has numerous physiological and ecological consequences, the morphological structures on leaf can affect its extent duration, contributing to interception rates in scale of whole ecosystem. Wetland plants have developed adaptations high water level allowing them avoid excess. Droplet contact angle free energy are measurable parameters which relate how plant influences usage redistribution. We analysed patterns adaxial abaxial 10 wetland species related optimal habitat...
Visitor's access to understorey vegetation in park forest stands results the impoverishment of plant species composition and a reduction habitat quality. The phenomenon biotic homogenisation is typical urban landscapes, but it can proceed differently depending on scale, detail that has not been observed previous studies. This research was carried out seven Warsaw parks (both public restricted access). Thirty-four forested areas were randomly selected, some subjected strong visitors' pressure...
Abstract The effects to honeybee colonies (Apis mellifera L.) during and after exposure flowering maize (Zea mays L.), grown from seeds coated with clothianidin imidacloprid was assessed in field-realistic conditions. experimental crops were adjacent the other agriculture plants. Honey bee placed three differently protected fields throughout blooming period, thereafter they transferred a stationary apiary. Samples of pollen loads, bread, adult bees collected analyzed for neonicotinoid...

Public access to high quality green environments has become a key issue for city managers and matter of environmental justice. Remnants natural ecosystems allow citizens direct contact with nature, but conversely the presence people contributes further existing disturbances. Urban pressures on ecosystem remnants may act favour expansion some invasive species in cities. Whilst negative impacts function is well documented little known how influence use spaces by people. Here, we examined one...
Air pollution is now considered to be the world’s largest environmental health threat, accounting for millions of deaths globally each year. The social group that particularly exposed harmful effects air children. Their vulnerability results from higher breathing frequency and being subject concentration peaks just above ground. negative ambient particulate matter also depend on time exposure. A daily route school can constitute an important component children’s physical activity, but pose a...
