Summary

 

The pine regeneration tillage was put in 1996, on after-forestal and industry wear soils, in 1,4 km NE distance from the large emitter. During institution of tillage, at ploughing up furrows, the structural building the ground surface and upper part soil profile was altered to depth of 40cm. The compensatory mineral fertilizations of Ca, Mg, K and P were executed also. The soil samples were taken with five depths to 45cm, in 28 deadlines in the early spring, summer and autumn times, since autumn 1995 till autumn 2004. On the basis of the gathered data, introduced in tab. 1-3 as well as on ryc. 1-6, introduced the profile of research object and laboratory methods, the ecochemical change and state of the rhizosphere layer in soil before the establishment of pine tillage, the ecochemical change in this layer after the establishment of pine tillage with regard to the times of year, the gradients of the easily variables components of soil in rhisosphere. Three developing phases of quantitatively – qualitative dynamics of the easily variables elements in lengthening periods of time were affirmed.

Summary

 

The research over possibilities for regeneration of pine woods in conditions the still lasting nitrogenous emission was realized on after-forestal terrains in 1995–2004, devastated by long-lasting strong nitrogenous emissions. The Scotch pine was planted to ploughed up furrows, in podzolic-rust soils produced from eolian sands, was as well the leveling potassium and phosphorous fertilization as apply in spring year 1996, after compensatory liming on autumn of 1995 year. The frequency occurrence of the value pHH2O in the buffered solution compartments in year seasons, in fertilization combinations, dynamics of course of profile depth line of value pH and the source of acidification the soils as well as dynamics acidity soils dependence on the moisture and some nutritious components easily migrating in soil solution were introduced on the basis of the gathered in years 19952004 data. In summing-up affirm that the ploughing up the furrows in soils altered the factorials by nitrogenous emissions the creation caused new the onegradient of depth profile of value the pH, differentiating in time, in ranges the interchangeable and clay buffered. The liming and mineral fertilization much increased this gradient.

PRECIPITATION AMOUNT CORRECTION FOR THE PURPOSE

OF ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTANTS LOADS CALCULATION

 

Anna Degórska, Tomasz Śnieżek

 

 

Summary

 

The experiment of parallel precipitation amount measurements at different levels above ground has been conducted at Puszcza Borecka Integrated Monitoring Station during one year. Three sites have been established: 1,5 m a.g.l. (collecting surface of precipitation collector for chemical analysis), 1 m a.g.l. (collecting surface of standard rain gauge) and 0 m a.g.l. (for which pollutants load delivered to the ground is calculated). Relative differences of precipitation amounts for these levels have been calculated for particular seasons as well as for type and amount of precipitation. Due to the importance of these differences the authors have proposed correction factors for the calculation of pollutants loads delivered to the ground with precipitation.

 POLARNY MONITORING HYDROLOGICZNY – METHODICAL PROPOSITION

 

Zbigniew Zwoliński

 

 

Summary

 

The paper presents a suggested set of standardized methods of hydrological monitoring for glaciated and non-glaciated catchments in the polar areas of the northern and southern hemispheres. Standardization of methods employed in national and international research projects is intended to ensure a better understanding of geomorphic processes within polar catchments and to provide a basis for comparative studies. The recommended methods were used successfully on Spitsbergen during the 2005-2007 re search campaigns and on King George Island during FLUX, SEDIBUD and ITEX projects as well as in the the summer of 2007. They are compatible with the ac- integrated monitoring of the natural environment (IM, cepted monitoring methods employed in the SEDI- ZMOEP).

Summary

 

This paper shows the issue of electric conductivity [SEC] and pH-reaction changes in throughflowwater to 1meter deep on foothill flysch slope in the Bystrzanka basin. An influence of exchanged properties was being analysed in rain water and intensity of the flow and the period from finishing the last incident for developing of the electric conductivity and the pH-reaction in throughflow-waters.

Summary

 

The study was carried out in the years 2004-2006. In each year of the study, ground beetles were collected into glycol-filled Barber’s traps in an upland forest from May to September. The collection period was divided into five monthly cycles. A total of 2625 individuals representing 19 species were collected. The numbers of species and individuals did not vary between the years of the study, exceptions including 20% more species caught in 2005 than in the remaining years and 20% more individuals caught in 2006 than in the remaining years of the study. The same ecological elements predominated in successive years in the designated ecological categories, with forestassociated species predominating with respect to habitat; mesohygrophilous elements with respect to humidity requirements; large zoophages with respect to feeding habits; and autumn breeders with respect to developmental type. Zoogeographic analysis showed a predominance of elements with narrower ranges: Euro-Siberian, montane species associated with the European Forest Province and those associated with the European Forest Province. These indices can be applied to bioindication-based evaluation of environmental conditions. Their values in this study may suggest that the study habitat was in good condition during the timeframe of the study.
