Mechanisms behind expansion of an invasive cyanobacterium Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii have not been fully resolved, and different hypotheses, such as global warming, are suggested. In the East-Central Europe, it is widely occurring in western part Poland but only single locations East due to some limiting factors. Therefore, broad-scale phytoplankton survey including 117 randomly selected lakes Lithuania was conducted. The results showed that C. occurred absent from other regions except...
Objective In recent decades, the invasive cyanobacteria Raphidiopsis raciborskii and mediterranea have expanded their distribution globally, particularly in temperate regions. Understanding ecological drivers of is imperative to addressing challenges associated with these species. Here, we aimed characterize biomass R. across 112 lakes Poland Lithuania relation local regional factors. Research design methods Integrated water samples were collected from 102 Polish 10 Lithuanian different...
Although water level changes are supposed to be a key factor affecting the functioning of lake ecosystems, knowledge on this topic is scarce, particularly for humic lakes. This paper presents results 18 years' research small exposed hydrological change (rising level), which was induced by spontaneous colonization European beaver (Castor fiber L.). We put forward hypothesis that will reflected in quantity and structure summer phytoplankton due expected chemistry. noted statistically...
A subarctic-boreal relict species, Salix lapponum, found within the area of Łęczna-Włodawa Lakeland (Eastern Poland), is particularly threatened with extinction due to southern limit its range and specific conditions occurrence.This conclusion evidenced by a systematic reduction in number locations, which accompanied decrease numbers individuals making up populations.The aim present study was determine habitat occurrence lapponum populations on basis an analysis physico-chemical factors...
Abstract Ornamental plants growing in urban areas are often exposed to salt stress that negatively affects their decorative value. Enhancement of resistance retain a high value despite has therefore practical importance. In our study, the exposure Plectranthus scutellarioides (L.) R. Br. NaCl-induced moderate (40 mM) or severe (80 resulted number responses including reduced growth parameters, decreased concentration photosynthetic pigments, and an increase accumulation anthocyanins free...
This research, carried out in the years 2011–2013, aimed to evaluate <em>Salix lapponum</em> stands peat bogs of Polesie Lubelskie Region as well determine condition population and changes that have taken place since 1950’s. An inventory 25 <em>S. lapponum </em>known from literature shows number its has decreased by 80% Region. In all confirmed locations, a decrease numbers was also found relation data known majority locations were considered be extinct, there no...
Using data from nine lakes, sampled between 2002 and 2010, as well literature we have analysed blooms of Gonyostomum semen (Ehr.) Diesing in a new spreading area (Polesie region, Central–Eastern Poland). We tried to determine habitat suitability for high biomass the species, including both physicochemical morphometric features. High (>1.4 mg.L−1) was found three groups coloured water bodies: (a) very small (<0.002 km2) peat pits with low pH values mineral content; (b) larger ponds neutral...
Anthropogenic transformations of habitat conditions in moderate climate peatlands frequently cause a decrease the number sites occurrence and size population many valuable plant species, including boreal relic Betula humilis. The objective this paper was an attempt to relate specifics glacial humilis Central-Eastern Poland, which developed under conditions, natural environment identified through research into physical chemical parameters groundwater, as well botanical its habitat. study...
<em>Salix myrtilloides</em> L. (swamp willow) is the most endangered species among boreal <em>Salix</em> in Poland. The number and size of its population have been decreasing constantly since 1990s. main aim study was to determine viability collected <em>S. pollen optimal conditions for vitro germination. from 25 male individuals a growing mid-forest peat bog Dekowina (Sobibór Landscape Park) May 2014. Two methods were applied estimate fresh stored pollen:...
This paper will focus on determining the trophic status of two basins Niwa Reservoir -Niwa I and II (Sawin commune, Lubelskie Province, SE Poland) at sixth year operation, by using partial TSI indexes -TSI(SD), TSI(TP), TSI(chl-a), as well qualitative quantitative structures phytoplankton.As a supplementary, index TSI(TOC) was employed.We show that phytoplankton abundance, TSI(chl-a) TSI(TP) were relatively low typical for mesotrophic waters (with exception July values basin), although...
