The aim of this study was to determine relationships between soil chemical parameters (i.e. content total organic carbon, nitrogen, sulphur, pH) and vegetation development in relation distance from the current glacier forehead time elapsed after retreat Irenebreen foreland. Three transects were designated along Species cover investigated 1 m2 plots, placed every 50 m each transect; corresponding samples collected chemically analysed. carbon nitrogen contents change according power...
Abstract The aim of this study was to identify a suitable lichen species for the long−term monitoring heavy−metal atmospheric pollution in Svalbard. Cladonia and Cetraria s.l. that have been widely used until now assessing deposition Arctic are decline over extensive areas Svalbard, mainly due climate change over−grazing by reindeer. Cetrariella delisei, rarely biomonitoring, is still common widespread area. Levels Cr, Ni, Fe, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd Mn were measured three species: uncialis,...
The objective of this study was to determine the impact restoration processes on selected soil properties and organic matter transformation mountain fens under Caltho-Alnetum community in Babiogórski National Park Outer Flysch Carpathians. Restoration were conducted three degraded Carpathians, Poland. degradation degree soils criterion for selection habitats further studies. To influence fen transformation, samples collected 2011 2013. assayed pH, base cation concentration, hydrolytic...
In nature, division lines are delineated where multiple important environmental features change. These may be singled out at the intersection of two geosystems (Balon 2000) functional uniformityof located on both sides preserved (Forman & Gordon 1986; Cadenasso et al. 2003). A significant boundary is upper forest (timberline), which separates differentvegetation zones: (1) from non -forest (Piękoś -Mirkowa Mirek 1996); climatic zones (2) cool very (Hess 1965); geoecological (3) periglacial...
Research highlights: this article refers to the deep storage of trace elements as a result podzolization process under different types vegetation cover. This is also an attempt differentiation in distribution mountain soils process. Background and objectives: we focused on estimating whether various covers led subsoil. Furthermore, potential contamination studied with using pollution indices was assessed. Materials methods: thirteen soil profiles three types, chosen chemical–physical...
In the glacier forelands, microbes play a fundamental role in soil development and shaping vegetation structure. Such ecosystems represent various stages of are, therefore, an excellent place to study interrelationship between soil, plants, microorganisms. The aim was assess effects physicochemical properties developing after retreat on microbial communities. Specifically, abundance, species richness composition arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), as well biomass community structure soils...
The character and main natural anthropogenic factors driving the timberline on Babia Góra Mt. was discussed. model of Holtmeier (2009) modified to describe functioning local timberline.Originating in a geological structure, asymmetric shape ridge created consequences for most components environment timberline. This stationary factor influenceall others including differences climate, soil development human activity. long history direct impact land use, grazing logging recent indirect...
Disturbances, both natural and anthropogenic, influence the patterning of species traits. The shift in composition distribution pattern functional traits can demonstrate if community is resistant, sensitive or resilient to disturbance. Based on species- trait-based approaches, we examined response earthworm changing hydrologic conditions caused by artificial drainage mountain fens, which cumulative effects disturbance events over space time are much less dynamic than riverine wetlands. We...
The analysis covered the interaction of humic acids (HA) isolated from peats with metazachlor using spectroscopic methods. Five peatlands have been selected for study in southern and northern parts Poland. Extraction (HA1, HA2, HA3, HA4, HA5) was performed a procedure recommended by International Humic Substances Society. Metazachlor 500 SC as biologically active substance [2-chloro-N-(pyrazol-1-ylmethyl)acet-2′,6′-xylidide] has used. HA assessed on basis their elemental composition....
Abstract This paper refers to lichen biota growing on driftwood in the Kaffiøyra Plain (NW Spitsbergen, Svalbard). The presented list of 25 lichenized fungi includes both eurytopic, accidental, typical, and stenotopic species. Taxa that belong last two groups can be considered as lignicolous. study confirms existence a specific group species, for which is main substrate Arctic. Additionally, five species new whole Svalbard were recorded, namely: Candelariella coralliza, Elixia flexella,...
This study focuses on short-term monitoring of trace metals in the Svalbard archipelago. Short-term studies using lichen bioindicators are important because temporary changes metal levels mainly dependent air pollutants. Here, we investigated temporal and spatial differences content such as Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Zn measured thalli <em>Cetrariella delisei</em>. The aspect was studied marine plain Calypsostranda between 1988 2016 that Hornsundneset 1985 2008. well 2008...
The objective of this study was to determine the long-term environmental changes induced by ancient landslide in mountain fen. Attempts were made demonstrate progress soil cover restoration process about 200 years after landslides and associated with vegetation microarthropod biodiversity occurrence pattern cover. covered fen Caltho-Alnetum Babiogórski National Park Outer Flysch Carpathians, Poland, where deposits are causing disturbance hydrologic regime over time related various rate area...
<p>The species composition of vegetation associated with the Carpathian fens primarily depends on type water present and hydrological feeding soils that occur there. These, in turn, shape fertility fens. Those typically formed <em>Carici-Agrostietum caninae</em> <em>Valeriano-Caricetum flavae</em> fundamentally differ properties their waters. These include differences mineral content, pH, CaCO<sub>3</sub> levels, degree peat decomposition, electrical...
The upper forest line transition zone up to the mountain pine on southern slopes of Babia Góra, has diversified phytosociology and soils. development diversity soils are affectedby morphogenetic processes, physiographic conditions, vegetation, anthropogenic factors which in past included sheep grazing. An analysis conducted morphological chemical soil properties thetransects covering line, transition, Góra revealed considerable diversification characterising these within individual altitude...
This research aimed to use the cause-and-effect diagram (model) as a method describe 15 main factors (for example, awareness, knowledge and motivation of farmers, farmers income, institutional financial support, condition natural environment, healthiness population, etc.) leading soil acidification, their impact on health ecosystem functions, how liming serves remedial measure. The model was developed based questionnaire studies part project ‘Opportunities Barriers Use Soil Liming for...
The aim of this research was to identify the key factors determining level soil liming in Poland. Spatial analyses were conducted using data from 2020 National Agricultural Census. study presents regional variations selected parameters that characterise agricultural production quality and structural features, including market connections farms. Classification Regression Trees (C&RT) method employed most significantly influence intensity examined districts. These include share permanent...
