Leaf CA measurement should take into account angle variation during time. wettability of common deciduous forest plants is characterized by wetting contact angles ranging from 60° to 140° with a significant between species the same family. an important phenomenon that has influence on several processes such as hydrological cycle, plant pathogen growth, or pollutant and pesticide absorption/deposition. The main objective this research was investigate leaf differences 19 (16 trees 3 shrubs)...
Abstract Peatlands play an essential role in the environment and their conservation requires knowledge of water-related processes. Their hydrophobicity is important factor influencing flow water soils. Drainage fens adapting them for agricultural production have contributed to degradation peat The main goal this study was evaluate effect vegetation cover (meadows, alder swamp birch forest) drained soils on persistence repellency as a function moisture content. Soil samples (Rheic Fibric...
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...
The proper monitoring of soil moisture content is important to understand water-related processes in peatland ecosystems. Time domain reflectometry (TDR) a popular method used for measurements, the applicability which still challenging field studies due requirements regarding calibration curve converts dielectric constant into content. main objective this study was develop general equation TDR based on simultaneous measurements and gravimetric water surface layers degraded peatlands. Data...
Abstract Wetlands play a crucial role in buffering the effects of climate change. At same time, they are one most endangered ecosystems on globe. The knowledge water cycle and energy exchange is for practical preservation exploiting their capabilities. Leaf wettability an important parameter characterising plant's ability to retain its surface, linked ecosystems' hydrological ecological functioning. This research investigates relationship between leaves' based contact angle measurements...
The aim of the study was to analyse moisture content (θ) and persistence strength water repellency (SWR) on sandy soil excluded from cultivation then undergoing spontaneous afforestation or weed infestation during an abnormally warm period. Three site plots in close proximity were selected, i.e., Scots pine forest—S1 (Dicrano-Pinion), birch forest—S3 (Molinio-Frangulion) 25 years old, abandoned field—S2 (Scleranthion annui) 1 year Central Poland. covers growing period 2020 for two upper...
Leaf wettability has an impact on a plant's ability to retain water its leaf surface, which in turn many environmental consequences. In the case of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), surface may contribute development fungal disease. If disease is caused, this reduce size harvests, significantly meeting global food demand. The aim study was assess five cultivars (i.e., Bryza, Lady Claire, Rudawa, Russet Burbank, Sweet Caroline) context direct and indirect yield. assessed basis contact angle...
Abstract Pistia stratiotes is an aquatic plant with a complex structure that allows it to stay afloat. It grows quickly, and in large numbers becomes undesirable as invasive species. Describing the dynamics of water drop splash on P. leaves can contribute increasing knowledge its behavior finding alternative methods for eradicating or using benefit environment. The non-wettable surface presents structure—simple uniseriate trichomes also ridges veins. We analyzed impact leaf placed recorded...
Surface soil moisture (SSM) is one of the factors affecting plant growth. Methods involving direct measurement in field or requiring laboratory tests are commonly used. These methods, however, laborious and time-consuming often give only point-by-point results. In contrast, SSM can vary across a due to uneven precipitation, variability, etc. An alternative using satellite data, for example, optical data from Sentinel-2 (S2). The main objective this study was assess accuracy determination...
Proteolysis and structural adjustments are significant for defense against heavy metals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the Al3+ stress alters protease activity anatomy cereale roots. Azocaseinolytic gelatinolytic measurements, transcript-level analysis phytocystatins, observations under microscopes were performed on roots Al3+-tolerant rye tolerant sensitive triticales exposed Al3+. In triticales, azocaseinolytic higher in treated enhanced between 12 24 h roots, decreased...
Visible and near-infrared spectroscopy (VIS-NIRS) is a fast simple method increasingly used in soil science. This study aimed to investigate VIS-NIRS applicability predict black carbon (BC) content the method’s suitability for rapid BC-level screening. Forty-three samples were collected an agricultural area remaining under strong industrial impact. Soil texture, pH, total nitrogen (Ntot) (Ctot), organic (SOC), matter (SOM), BC analyzed. Samples divided into three classes according (low,...
The development of public purpose investment has an impact on the quality life inhabitants rural areas, especially increase in attractiveness area, which translates into a rise level satisfaction residents and long run leads to growth number inhabitants. research was analyze needs for example municipality. following facilities were selected study: cultural centres, communal libraries, sports fi elds playgrounds. area covered municipality Zbuczyn, covers 210.8 km2, is located Masovian...
