Pomiędzy Lwą a Stwigą. Stanisław Kulczyński i jego projekt utworzenia poleskiego parku natury z 1932 roku

Sławomir Łotysz

Kwartalnik Historii Nauki i Techniki > 2020 > 65 > 2 > 29–48

In 1928, when the Bureau for the Project of Amelioration of Polesie (a large marshy area in the eastern part of interwar Poland) began its field studies, environmental concerns were low on the list of its priorities. A year later, this brought the Bureau into serious conflict with the State Council for Nature Protection. When both institutions eventually came to terms with their contradictory ambitions...

Holocene Dynamics of the East-Asian Monsoon in the Lower Amur Area

V. B. Bazarova, M. A. Klimin, T. A. Kopоteva

Geography and Natural Resources > 2018 > 39 > 3 > 239-247

The spatial and temporal dynamics of monsoon in the Holocene has been reconstructed for the Lower Amur area. Four stages of cooling are determined (10300–10800, 8000–8300, 4200–4600 and 2500 yrs. ago). During these periods the intensity of the summer monsoon was weakest. The conventional northern boundary of monsoon influence moved from 54 to 48o N. Two retrospective scenarios of the interaction versions...

Marek Drewnik, Agnieszka Rajwa-Kuligiewicz, Mateusz Stolarczyk, Stanisław Kucharzyk, more

Science of The Total Environment > 2018 > 624 > C > 991-1003

Over the last century, the vast majority of peatlands in Europe have experienced substantial transformation as a result of drainage works that led to an imbalance in the natural hydrologic regime as well as changes in vegetation composition. The ongoing study aims to reconstruct the natural hydrologic regime of peatlands and restore their typical vegetation communities. In this study, we examine the...

Increased atmospheric dust deposition during the Neoglacial in a boreal peat bog from north-eastern Canada

Steve Pratte, Michelle Garneau, François De Vleeschouwer

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology > 2017 > 469 > C > 34-46

Dust deposition in north-eastern Canada was estimated from the geochemical signature of a boreal peat bog from the James Bay lowlands. The rare earth elements and other lithogenic elements, as well as Nd isotopes were measured by Q-ICP-MS, ICP-OES and MC-ICP-MS, respectively along a 4.20m peat core covering the last 7000years. A principal component analysis performed on the geochemical dataset shows...

Genetic implications of phylogeographical patterns in the conservation of the boreal wetland butterfly Colias palaeno (Pieridae)

Katja Kramp, Oldrich Cizek, Pedro M. Madeira, Ana A. Ramos, more

Biological Journal of the Linnean Society > 119 > 4 > 1068 - 1081

The boreo‐montane wetland butterfly species Colias palaeno has a European distribution from the Alps to northern Fennoscandia. Within its European range, the species’ populations have shrunk dramatically in recent historical times. Therefore, detailed baseline knowledge of the genetic makeup of the species is pivotal in planning potential conservation strategies. We collected 523 individuals from...

Tadeusz Magiera, Maria Mendakiewicz, Marcin Szuszkiewicz, Mariola Jabłońska, more

Science of The Total Environment > 2016 > 566-567 > C > 536-551

In the area of Brynica River basin (Upper Silesia, southern Poland) the exploitation and smelting of iron, silver and lead ores was historically documented since early Middle Ages. First investigations showed that metallurgy industry had a large impact from 9th century (AD) until the Second World War. The aim of the study was to use magnetic prospection to detect traces of past mining and ore smelting...

Late Glacial and Holocene paleoenvironmental records in the Tatra Mountains, East-Central Europe, based on lake, peat bog and colluvial sedimentary data: A summary review

Piotr Kłapyta, Jerzy Zasadni, Joanna Pociask-Karteczka, Agnieszka Gajda, more

Quaternary International > 2016 > 415 > C > 126-144

The Tatra Mountains are the highest massif in the Carpathian mountain arc (2655 m) and represent a typical alpine landscape developed in the course of Pleistocene glaciations, but are not glacierized today. The glacial relief of the massif offers an abundance of topographic depressions (cirque overdeepenings, morainic closed depressions) where sedimentary sequences may potentially reveal paleoenvironmental...

Aquatic microinvertebrate abundance and species diversity in peat bogs of Tierra del Fuego (Argentina)

Patricia E. García, R. Daniel García, M. Cristina Marinone, Valeria Casa, more

Limnology > 2017 > 18 > 1 > 85-96

Peat bogs are regarded as extreme environments due to their low pH and low nutrient concentration, and thus hold a unique biota adapted to these particular conditions. The island of Tierra del Fuego encompasses the southernmost extensive peat bog area in the world, and is therefore particularly interesting from a biogeographical viewpoint. Within the same peat bog, different environment types can...

Heteroptera (Insecta: Hemiptera) of the peat bogs of Belarusian Lakeland

Gennadi G. Sushko

Biologia > 2016 > 71 > 6 > 688-694

The first overview on the Heteroptera of peat bogs of the Belarusian Lakeland is presented. Five natural oligotrophic peat bogs were studied in 2012–2014 by entomological sweep-net. A total of almost 2,612 true bugs were sampled, representing 83 species of 13 families. Ten species (12.11–36.72% of the individuals) were tyrphobiontic or tyrphophilous. The five most abundant species represented 71.39–82...

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes > 26 > 4 > 304 - 320

Three main types of cryogenic mounds on the coastal plains (strandflats) of Kaffiøyra and Hermansenøya on northwest Svalbard are distinguished according to their distribution, morphology, internal structure, genesis and age. The mounds include aggradational forms: a previously unrecognised hydraulic pingo, frost peat mounds with either a minerogenic core (mineral palsas) or an ice/ice‐peat core, and...

Use and misuse of the term ‘glacial relict’ in the Central European biogeography and conservation ecology of insects

Robert S. Sommer, Volker Thiele, Heikki Seppä, Raphael Didham, more

Insect Conservation and Diversity > 8 > 4 > 389 - 391

We argue that the term ?glacial relict? is often misused in Central European biogeography and conservation ecology to refer to tyrphobiotic insect species which occur in peat bogs. There is no evidence to argue that these insect populations represent remnants dating back to the Pleistocene glacial stages. Instead, these insect species are mainly associated with colder local climate, special edaphic...

Biochemical processes and gas conditions in bogs of different geneses

L. I. Inisheva, A. V. Golovchenko, M. A. Sergeeva

Contemporary Problems of Ecology > 2015 > 8 > 4 > 470-479

Biochemical processes forming the gas conditions in oligotrophic and eutrophic peat deposits in bogs of Western Siberia during vegetation periods of 2011–2013 have been studied. It has been shown that the dynamics of CO₂ and CH₄ formation in a peat deposit is controlled by microflora activity. Correlations of CO₂ and CH₄ emissions with gas conditions in peat deposits have been determined. Specific...

Historical records of atmospheric metal deposition along the St. Lawrence Valley (eastern Canada) based on peat bog cores

Steve Pratte, Alfonso Mucci, Michelle Garneau

Atmospheric Environment > 2013 > 79 > Complete > 831-840

The recent history of atmospheric As, Cd, Ni, Pb and Zn deposition and the stable Pb isotope signatures were reconstructed from short cores collected at three peat bogs along the St. Lawrence Valley (SLV). The onset of industrial activity was recorded around 1810–1850 AD. As, Cd, Pb and, to a certain extent, Ni deposition rates reached maxima between 1940 and the early 1970s. Trace metals likely originated...

Comparing and cross-validating lake and bog palaeoclimatic records: a review and a new 5,000 year chironomid-inferred temperature record from northern England

Keith Barber, Alastair Brown, Peter Langdon, Paul Hughes

Journal of Paleolimnology > 2013 > 49 > 3 > 497-512

This paper reviews the past history of comparisons between lacustrine records of chironomid-inferred summer temperatures (CI-T) and peat bog-derived records of surface wetness (BSW), and develops a new summer temperature record for the mid-late Holocene for Northern Britain from Bigland Tarn, Cumbria. The CI-T reconstruction is well dated, and corresponds well with the only two other CI-T records...
