Holocene vegetation history was reconstructed from the beginning of the Preboreal to the Late Middle Ages. On the basis of the curves of selected taxa and the occurrence of plant indicators of the presence of man 6 settlement phases were distinguished and correlated with archaeological data. The investigations have shown that the fi rst week palynological indications of human presence around the lake were connected with the Atlantic chronozone, while the strongest impact of man on vegetation was recorded in the Middle Ages and modern times.

  • ACTA UNIVERSITATIS LODZIENSIS Leszek Kajzer 50 YEARS OF
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS LODZIENSIS FOLIA ARCHAEOLOGICA 19, 1995 Leszek Kajzer 50 YEARS OF ARCHAEOLOGY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF ŁÓDŹ — SUMMARY In 1995, 50th anniversary of establishing the Chair of Archaeology at the University of Łódź takes place. There are two events which this fact bases on. First one is a foundation of the University of Łódź in this very year, second, the arrival of Professor Konrad Jażdżewski (1908-1985) to our city. This archaeologist, earlier connected with Poznań and Warszawa, settled in Łódź after World War II and joined the group of new University founders. By reason of that fact, and all his activity, a title of doctor „honoris causa” of the University of Łódź was conferred on Prof. K. Jażdżewski in 1985. At first the name of institution run by K. Jażdżewski was the Departament of Prehistory. In 1952 it was changed into the Chair of Archaeology of Poland and in 1967 into the Chair of Archaeology. A half-century of our institution is a good opportunity for a moment of reflection, as well as, for an attempt to summarize research efforts and didactic achievements. During all its histoty in Łódź centre the archaeological discipline has been moving through many changes. No further back as to the 1980s and the 1990s there were five archaeological institutions in Łódź (all of them owe their existence, to some extend, to Prof. Jażdżewski). These institutions were, as follows: the Chair of Archaeology, the Archaeological and Ethnografical Museum, run by the Professor until he retired, the Branch of the Departament of Archaeology and Ethnology at the Polish Academy of Sciences (former the Depa- rtament of Material Culture History), run by K.

  • Lobelia Dortmanna L. Seeds in Lake Sediments from the Tuchola Forest (Pomerania, Northern Poland)
    Acta Palaeobotanica 44(2): 281–285, 2004 Lobelia dortmanna L. seeds in lake sediments from the Tuchola Forest (Pomerania, northern Poland) MARIUSZ LAMENTOWICZ and KRYSTYNA MILECKA Department of Biogeography and Palaeoecology, Adam Mickiewicz University, Dzięgielowa 27, 61-680 Poznań, Poland; e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Received 18 November 2003; accepted for publication 18 November 2004 ABSTRACT. Lobelian lakes are a group of oligotrophic or mesotrophic basins with specifi c physical and chemical features. They are thought to be vulnerable because of trophic disturbances caused primarily by human impact. Lobelia dortmanna L., Isoëtes lacustris L., and Littorella unifl ora (L.) Asch. are important plant species in the vegetation of lobelian lakes that contain low amounts of calcium compounds in the water and bottom sedi- ments. We describe Lobelia dortmanna seeds from lake sediments which were found during plant macrofossil analysis from one core taken in the lake from Tuchola Forest (Pomerania, northern Poland). A short diagram of plant macrofossils distribution including Lobelia dortmanna from Lake Nierybno (Tuchola Forest) has been constructed. Knowledge about the Holocene history of plant communities with L. dortmanna allows understanding of the onset and development of lobelian lakes and it helps to protect those valuable ecosystems. Accordingly, the conclusion is that cores taken from central parts of lobelian lakes gives much information about the appearance of Lobelia dortmanna and seeds transport, and results should be compared with studies from the littoral zone.

  • Structure and Importance of Soil-Protecting Forests in the Areas Administered by the RDSF Toruń ISSN 2080-7686
    Bulletin of Geography. Physical Geography Series, No. 8 (2015): 123–132 http://dx.doi.org/10.1515/bgeo-2015-0010 Structure and importance of soil-protecting forests in the areas administered by the RDSF Toruń ISSN 2080-7686 Paweł Wiśniewski, Mariusz Kistowski University of Gdańsk, 80-952 Gdańsk, Poland Correspondence: Paweł Wiśniewski, Department of Physical Geography and Environmental Management, Institute of Ge- ography, University of Gdańsk, Bażyńskiego 4, 80-952 Gdańsk, Poland. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The paper presents the state and importance of soil-protecting forests in the areas managed by the RDSF in Toruń, as well as changes in their structure over 29 years. The management of the RDSF in Toruń is characterized by a systematic increase in the area, thickness and rich abundance of soil-protect- ing forests, particularly intense since the mid-nineteen-nineties. They cover mainly rusty soils and podzols on outwash areas, sandy terraces in sloped areas of postglacial valleys and gullies as well. Soil-protect- ing forests, which are managed by the RDSF in Toruń, vary a great deal considering their habitat, both in terms of dampness and trophic richness as well as spatially. The dominance of coniferous forests is due to the fact that they grow in the poorest habitats, which have not been previously used for agricultural purposes, and to the common practice in recent years of pine reforestation in open stromal areas. The assessment of the state of habitats indicates that 66.2% of the soil-protecting forest area is characterized as natural and close-to-natural.

  • Influence of Land Cover and Structure of Tree Stands on Pollen Deposition in Zaborski Landscape Park
    Ecological Questions 16/2012: 41 – 49 DOI: 10.2478/v10090-012-0004-4 Influence of land cover and structure of tree stands on pollen deposition in Zaborski Landscape Park Anna Filbrandt-Czaja, Miłosz Deptuła, Andrzej Nienartowicz Nicolaus Copernicus University, Faculty of Biology and Environmental Protection, Laboratory of Ecological Modelling, 87-100 Toruń, ul. Lwowska 1, Poland e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The paper presents a comparison of modern pollen deposition in Tauber traps after one-year exposure at two research sites – Laska and Widno, located in the northern part of the Zaborski Landscape Park in the Pomerania Province (Northern Poland). The studied sites were circular in shape with a radius of 2 km and an area of 1256 ha each. They were characterised by similar con- tribution of forest and non-forest areas, as well as similar species composition and area covered by tree species. Both sites differed, however, in the location of traps in relation to forest areas and distribution of deciduous trees amid pine monocultures. At the former site, a Tauber trap was placed in the open field, i.e. in xerothermic meadow, in the western part of the Laska village. At the latter site, a trap was placed on the borderline between meadows of the Widno village and the surrounding forests. At the site of Laska, scattered deciduous trees occurred mostly in the form of small clusters amid extensive pine monocultures surrounding the village. Whereas at the site of Widno, deciduous tree species covered larger areas in the form of more fertile oak-hornbeam forests, beech forests and birch woods amid pine forests.

Among them, S. giganteus is new to the fauna of Poland. Keywords: Acari, Gamasida, new species, rare species, Polish fauna, Zaborski Landscape Park, Tuchola Forest INTRODUCTION The Tuchola Forest is one of the largest forests in Poland. This precious natu- ral area is protected within the Tuchola Forest National Park, as well as the Tucho- la, Wda, Wdzydze, and Zaborski Landscape Parks. The last one includes ‘Bagno Stawek’ Reserve. The fi rst scientifi c paper concerning its interesting vegetation (also peat-forming communities) was published in 1965 (Lisowski et al. 1965). There are relatively few studies involving the researched area. The geological structure of the reserve was documented by Kowal ewski et al. (1997). A teledetective change analy- sis based on aerial photographs taken in 1951-1995 was performed by Kowal ewski & Tobol ski (1997).
