The purpose of this study was to characterise the breeding birds of an old, extensively managed apple orchard and its influence on the biodiversity of the agricultural landscape in central Poland. What distinguishes old orchards from other habitats is the very high density of birds and the simplified species composition. The assemblages of birds are governed by an orchard’s age and the diversity of...
The aim of the study was to characterise the problem of road accidents involving selected species of wild-living animals present in the area of Lublin. Another aim of the investigations was to determine the relationship between selected behavioural elements of the annual life cycle of animals and the incidence of wildlife-vehicle collisions. The information about wildlife-vehicle collisions was obtained...
This study focused on the impact of extensive sheep grazing on soil enzymatic activity in the grassland habitats of the Eastern Lublin region of Poland, situated within the ecological Natura 2000 network of: Kąty (PLH060010), Stawska Góra (PLH060018), and Zachodniowołyńska Dolina Bugu (PLH060035). This study involved soils under sheep grazing and soils in uncultivated areas (wasteland). Two-year study...
Soils from the Lublin area exposed to low-stack emission from home heating and transport were investigated. Changes in soil enzymatic activity and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) content were analysed. Soil samples were collected in July and November 2016 and January 2017. Results of the study show that enzymatic activity and PAHs content depended on types of buildings, study period (intensification...
Between 1996 and 2016 the activity of alkaline phosphatase in the littoral water of Lake Piaseczno was researched in fiveyear measurement cycles. Samples of water from the area corresponding to the agricultural sector of the lake catchment area were used as the research material. Simultaneously, the content of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds in the soils of the agricultural sector of Lake Piaseczno...
Współczesne metody oceny walorów estetycznych krajobrazu bazują na danych ilościowych (np. formy ukształtowania i pokrycia terenu), jakościowych (np. badania opinii publicznej) oraz odnoszących się do wrażeń emocjonalnych (np. krzywa wrażeń Wejcherta). Przyjmując hipotezę, iż prace malarskie oraz fotografia krajobrazowa stanowią źródła danych o przeżyciach estetycznych związanych z pejzażem, zaproponowano...
In 2010-2016, we recorded 24 new sites of the hairy flower wasp Scolia hirta – the species listed in the Polish Red Data Book of Invertebrates – in the Mazowiecka Lowland (central Poland), mainly in its southern and eastern part. 7 sites are located in the Mazowiecki Landscape Park and 2 in the Nadbużański Landscape Park.
On 3 October 2015, on the local, asphalt road Borek – Pagowiec (51°35’40’’N, 21°0’47’’E, Central Poland), 74 dead grass snakes Natrix natrix (0.8 ind./10 m) were found, and two alive on the road side. The inventory was conducted along the road section of 916 m. Young and adult snakes were present. This road section separated a peatland of about 200 ha from fragments of a pine forest. Observation of...
