The aim of the study was to collect information regarding the opinions and attitudes of young women towards the use of beaches for recreational and health purposes. The study was conducted in 2011 during obligatory P.E. classes at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn and involved a group of 298 first-year female students aged 19–20. The study was carried out with a diagnostic survey method...
Tourist activities consistent with sustainable development are an important component of the development strategies of many communes and counties in lakeland regions, including the county of Mrągowo in the Masurian Lake District. In the county under study, the abundance of lakes (over 12% of its area) and forests (constituting 30% of its area) and expanded recreation infrastructure (third place in...
Chemical control of the horse-chestnut leaf miner Cameraria ohridella is limited to microinjections that injure trees, for air pesticide spraying is not recommended in urban areas. Alternative methods, e.g., the use of antifeedants to control and/or prevent the C. ohridella infestations are searched for. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of selected aromatic plant extracts and...
The paper attempts to present the issue of sustainable development of tourism lakes on the example of New Zealand, classified as world leaders in the field of tourism use of the lakes, and Australia featuring a variety of interesting use of the lakes, not only from tourism. point of view. The study is trying to focus on particular attention to the negative effects posed by the development of tourism...
Turbidity, as an optical property describing water clarity, is a measure of the degree to which water loses its transparency due to the presence of suspended solids, including phytoplankton and dissolved substances. Lake Strzeszyńskie was regarded as the clearest lake in Poznań (western Poland) for many years. In July 2011 first time in the history of lake the watering place was closed due to picocyanobacteria...
A number of well-known tourism destinations around the world are based on lakes as the main attraction. Although is still difficult to determine the economic significance of lakes, lake tourism has been recognized as a relevant subfield of tourism studies. Based on a PhD investigation related to lake tourism, this paper seeks to reveal and discuss the potential of the Alqueva reservoir as an emerging...
The present study, which compares and contrasts the tourism and visitor-based economic development at major lakes in Hungary aims at describing how roles have changed and opportunities have presented themselves in the lake tourism sector. In the western part of Central Europe (Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia) lake tourism has grown to be a leading tourism product since the 1960s. Hungary...
Competitive interaction between spring barley and Italian ryegrass was investigated in the pot experiment. It was evaluated on the base of the dry mass accumulation in over-the-ground parts and roots. The factors of the experiment were: 1. method of sowing the plants – pure crop and mixed crop (with identical share of both components), 2. supply of plants with water – optimal dose (of 17000 cm³ during...
The aim of this study is to analyze the degree of impact of different forms of tourist infrastructure on the natural environment of the riparian zone of Białe Lake. The spatial variation of the index of impact on environment was calculated (MIKA 2004, FURGAŁA et al. 2010) depending on the distance from the shoreline. The analysis was carried out in fixed minimal mapping units and in the buffer zones...
The objective of the studies was to compare the milling properties of spelt wheat and winter and spring common wheat kernels. The studies were carried out with winter spelt wheat cv. Schwabenkorn and Franckenkorn and with common wheat: winter variety cv. Korweta and spring variety cv. Bombona. Spelt wheat and common wheat were grown in organic farming systems. The evaluation of kernel milling value...
A pot experiment, set up in an additive design, was run in order to assess the effect of Italian ryegrass on morphological traits of spring barley at different phases of its development under optimal and 50% lower soil moisture content. The following traits were measured: plant height, number of developed leaves per plant, length of ears, number of grains in an ear and length of roots. The assessment...
The large white butterfly Pieris brassicae (L.) (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) is a cosmopolitan insect that is specialized to feed on the plant family Brassicaceae. The caterpillars may cause severe losses in yield of cabbage plants. In search of environmentally safe control chemical substances, the effect of 17 natural monoterpenes on the feeding activity and food assimilation of P. brassicae larvae was...
Chara tomentosa is a species placed on the red list of endangered algae in Poland. However, its ecology is still barely known. The aim of the study was to advance this knowledge through determination of the variability of Chara tomentosa specimen between the stands of varied habitat properties. The structure of the specimen was tested in six lake populations of Chara tomentosa in Pojezierze Mazurskie...
The study pertained to a group of 25 warm-blooded horses, used for recreational purposes within the Kujavian-Pomerania Province for a period of 6 months. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of selected feed additives a quality of movement of the working horses’. Throughout the experiment the horses were fed livestock feed (i.e. oats, barley and hay) twice a day. For a period of 180 days...
The concept of Nordic Wellbeing was developed on a joint research project involving researchers from each of the Nordic countries. As lakes and lake landscape are dominant in Finland, the aim of this paper is to examine if lakes and lake landscapes can bring new content and added value into Nordic wellbeing tourism development. This is done by using Finnish case studies of the Nordic Wellbeing Project...
The goal of our studies was to determine the taxonomic composition of phytoplankton and physico-chemical water properties in selected lakes and reservoirs in Western Poland to estimate the influence of restoration measurements. Polimictic Maltański Reservoir (restored by means of phosphorus inactivation and biomanipulation) was characterized by increased concentrations of ammonium nitrogen as well...
This study describes the correlations between demographic, environmental and floristic profiles of Matteuccia struthiopteris populations colonizing the banks of river Lisi Parów, with special emphasis on relative variation in resources allocated to sexual (sporophyll production) and asexual reproduction (production of new small ramets). In total, 507 rootstocks were measured, and they had developed...
The project initiates the creation of a comprehensive solution to the question of safety on the waters of the Great Masurian Lakes through the creation of a network of water rescue stations. The aims of the proposed project are to create a network of water rescue stations throughout the Great Masurian Lakes, to improve the equipment of the rescue services operating on the Great Masurian Lakes (rescue...
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of the Aurora 40 WG herbicide on soil microbial counts, soil enzymatic activity and spring barley yield. Soil samples with the granulometric composition of loamy sand and sandy clay loam with pHKCl 7.0 were used. The herbicide was applied at the optimal dose (recommended by the manufacturer) and at doses 2-, 4- and 40-fold higher than the recommended...
The purpose of the study was to develop a method for lakeshore assessment, and to make assessment for the shore of Lake Velence that can serve as basis for management and restoration. The study area is a landscape part located 50 m from the legal shoreline both towards the land (riparian zone) and the water-surface (littoral zone). For Lake Velence 17 assessment viewpoints were defined comprising...
