We reviewed also all published results of small-mammal trapping in such habitats. Mammals were captured in pitfalls, snap traps and live traps on 12 bogs of the Pomerania region, 4 bogs of the Orawa-Nowy Targ Basin (Kotlina Orawsko-Nowotarska), 3 bogs in the Świętokrzyskie Mts, and 6 bogs in Wielkopolska and the Lubusz Land. Additionally, we included materials collected from Barber traps (pitfalls) used during studies of epigeic invertebrates on 4 bogs. In total, 598 individuals of 12 species were collected. The number of pitfall captures per 100 trap- nights was very low (7.0–7.8), suggesting low population density.

Overall, 27 species were identified from 41 samples collected between September 2001 and August 2002. The most numerous species in this study were Veigaia nemorensis, Leptogamasus cristulifer, and Gamasellus montanus. Our study has also confirmed the occurrence or rare mite species, such asVeigaia mollis and Paragamasus insertus. Additionally, 5 mite species were recorded as new to the fauna of this Park: Vulgarogamasus remberti, Macrocheles tardus, Pachylaelaps vexillifer, Iphidosoma physogastris, and Dendrolaelaps (Punctodendrolaelaps) eichhorni. Keywords: mesofauna, mites, Mesostigmata, soil, rock cracks, crevices INTRODUCTION The Stołowe Mountains National Park (also known as the Góry Stołowe NP) was established in 1993, in the area of the only table hills in Poland, mainly due to the occurrence of the very specific sandstone landscapes, including rocks labyrinths. The rock labyrinths are generally composed of sandstones blocks, separated by cracks and crevices (Szopka 2002).

  • Green Bond Report on the Use of Proceeds Green​ Bond​ Report​ On​ The​ Use​ Of​ Proceeds
    GREEN BOND REPORT ON THE USE OF PROCEEDS Poland’s 8-year EUR Green Bond maturing on August 7, 2026 February 2019 Contents Introduction Green Bond details Use of Proceeds Use of Proceeds in detail COP24 in Katowice Erratum to the Green Bond Report on the Use of Proceeds published in December 2017 2 Introduction In December 2016, the Republic of Poland issued its inaugural Green Bond, which, at the same time, was the first sovereign Green Bond in the history. That successful transaction was aimed at financing or refinancing environmen- tal expenditures and hence, fighting the climate change. Many times the Ministry of Finance’s officials stated that Poland wanted to be a repeat issuer on this innovative market. It stressed that it wanted to be an inherent part of a broader pro-environmental community. In response to that, in February 2018, Poland decided to issue Green Bonds for the second time. This time bigger transaction translated into even higher value of green projects to be financed. This report provides details for the Use of Proceeds of the second issuance. It also contains estimation of CO2 avoided as a result of expenditures on Renewa- ble Energy Sector from both Green Bond issues (issued in December 2016 and February 2018). PIOTR NOWAK, UNDERSECRETARY OF STATE, MINISTRY OF FINANCE ”After launching the first issue we focused on allocation of proceeds, but, as time went by, we started to think about the second issue of that type. For sure, we didn’t and still don’t want to be only an occasional issuer on this important market.

  • Malacocenoses of Five Beech Forests in Poland
    Vol. 13(4): 181–188 MALACOCENOSES OF FIVE BEECH FORESTS IN POLAND KRYSTYNA SZYBIAK,MA£GORZATA LEŒNIEWSKA Department of General Zoology, Institute of Environmental Biology, Adam Mickiewicz University, Fredry 10, 61-701 Poznañ, Poland (e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT: Eighty species of terrestrial gastropods were found in five beech forests in Poland: in two forests of W. Pomeranian Lakeland 36 species, in Wielkopolska 30 species, in Carpathian beech forests of the Pieniny Mts 49 species and in the Beskid Niski Mts 26 species. The mean density in the beech forests in the Pieniny, Beskid Niski, Wielkopolska, acid and rich beechwood of W. Pomeranian Lakeland was 185, 86, 36, 36 and 10 indiv. m-2, respectively. Dominant species in the Pieniny and Beskid Niski were Aegopinella pura (Alder), Carychium tridentatum (Risso), and in the lowland forests Discus rotundatus (O.F. Müller) and Aegopinella nitidula (Draparnaud). European elements and forest species dominated in such habitats. Montane beech for- ests showed a higher species diversity compared to lowland forests. The Carpathian beech forest in the Pieniny Mts had the highest mean density, number of species and species diversity. Aegopinella pura, Vitrea crystallina (O.F. Müller), Discus rotundatus and Cochlodina laminata (Montagu) can be regarded as indicator species of beech forests. KEY WORDS: terrestrial gastropods, beech forests, W.

It was not only a very timely support, but also a key that opened many doors. It entailed many pleasant and useful contacts and lucky coincidences, and in the end, I managed to do much more than I had planned. Several people significantly helped me during the study tour: Prof. Natalia Zaimenko, Dr. Blanka Skočdopolová, Dr. Irena Kholová and Prof. Zofia Rączkowska. They were my colleagues, friends and sometimes, even guardian angels. Without their support, I probably would not have been able to complete the project. I would also like to thank Erika Stanciu. Six years ago, she made a presentation at RAPPAM workshop in Ukraine, which I attended with other PhD students. She told us about various funding opportunities for nature conservationists, including Alfred Toepfer Natural Heritage Scholarship, and emphasized how important it is to prepare a strong application.
