  • The Transformation of the Natural Environment of The
    / !"# 27 THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE POLISH AND UKRAINIAN BIESZCZADY MOUNTAINS DUE TO TOURISM AND OTHER FORMS OF HUMAN PRESSURE Agnieszka Œwigost Institute of Urban Development, Krakow, Poland Abstract The area of Bieszczady Mountains is the cross-border zone characterized by a great diversity in both policies and a level of economic development between the Polish and Ukrainian part of the region. Therefore, it exhibits a significant variation in the degree, form and character of anthropopres- sure. The main aim of the study is to compare the intensity of transformation of Polish and Ukrainian parts of Bieszczady Mountains and indicate the anthropogenic conditions existing in both countries. Four villages of Bieszczady were analysed – Solina and Wetlina in Poland and Sianki and Volosjanka in Ukraine. The study, conducted using the point scoring evaluation method, showed large variations in the degree of anthropopressure in different localities. The area that has the lowest level of human impact is Po³onina Wetliñska while the largest one occurs in Solina. Wetlina, Sianki and Volosjanka have a similar level of transformation. Research areas located in the Polish part of Bieszczady are exposed to environmental changes primarily related to the development of tourism. In Ukraine, the pressure is observable due to unregulated water and sewage systems, a large accumulation of possessions with a traditional heating and highly developed railway network. Keywords: anthropopressure; tourism; Polish Bieszczady Mountains; Ukrainian Bieszczady Mountains Introduction rently, research in the field of anthropopressure includes also Contemporary transformations of the natural environment the less visible transformation of the environment caused for are the consequences of not only natural alterations but also instance by tourism development.

  • Challenges for the Conservation of Semi-Natural Grasslands in Mountainous National Parks – Case Studies from the Polish Carpathians
    Carpathian Journal of Earth and Environmental Sciences, February 2018, Vol. 13, No. 1, p. 187 – 198; DOI:10.26471/cjees/2018/013/017 CHALLENGES FOR THE CONSERVATION OF SEMI-NATURAL GRASSLANDS IN MOUNTAINOUS NATIONAL PARKS – CASE STUDIES FROM THE POLISH CARPATHIANS Natalia TOKARCZYK Institute of Geography and Spatial Management, Jagiellonian University, Gronostajowa 7, 30-387 Kraków, Poland, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Semi-natural grasslands are characteristic elements of mountain landscapes across the world. However, a significant decrease in their area has been observed in many places in Europe. This phenomenon leads to many negative consequences, which is why meadows and pastures are managed for conservation purposes in most European countries, especially in protected areas. The aim of this study is to identify the challenges for the management of semi-natural grasslands in the national parks of the Polish Carpathians with a special focus on the implementation of conservation measures. The study highlights also attitudes of local communities towards the conservation of semi-natural grasslands as well as motivations guiding the residents to support conservation activities. According to interviews conducted with parks' employees six key categories of challenges have been distinguished. They are associated with the land ownership structure, financing and implementation of conservation measures, planning and evaluation of applied treatments, and natural and social determinants. Only some of the challenges result exclusively from the mountainous conditions or refer directly to the effectiveness of the conservation measures. Most of the challenges are typical of those found in national parks throughout the world and are connected with legislative and financial issues.

Brid. in the Bieszczady Mountains of Poland Piotr Brewczy ´nski 1, Kamil Grałek 2 and Piotr Bila ´nski 3,* 1 Głogów Forest District, ul. Fabryczna 57, 36-060 Głogów Małopolski, Poland; [email protected] 2 The Regional Directorate of the State Forests in Krosno, ul. Bieszczadzka 2, 38-400 Krosno, Poland; [email protected] 3 Department of Forest Ecosystems Protection, University of Agriculture in Krakow, Al. 29 Listopada 46, 31-425 Krakow, Poland * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-1266-253-69 Abstract: The small-sized gametophytes and sporophytes of the green shield-moss Buxbaumia viridis (Moug.) Brid. make it difficult to study. However, in Europe, there has been increasing interest in this species in the past few years, mostly as a result of the implementation of the Natura 2000 network. In Poland, B. viridis has only been reported in isolated studies that have been limited in terms of area and the number of participating workers. One of the Polish regions where B. viridis was recently recorded is the Bieszczady Mountains, but there have been no large-scale surveys of that region to date. The objective of the current work was to describe the B. viridis population in the Bieszczady Mountains in terms of its spatial distribution and abundance, investigate its selected microhabitat preferences, and evaluate the conservation status of this moss species within the Natura 2000 site Bieszczady PLC180001. The studied region encompassed 93,490.44 ha, including 69,056.23 ha of managed forests and 24,434.21 ha of forests belonging to the Bieszczady National Park.

As it is necessary for participants in this project to be able to communicate in English, this text is provided only in English. The text of this brochure is developed in cooperation with the project staff. Annually, under the supervision of the staff the text is updated. Nevertheless you may experience some changes in the field compared to the brochure text. It is inherent to wildlife research programs that during the operations incidentally changes are necessary because of unexpected results, behaviour by the wildlife, etc. Be prepared for such changes. (Last update: August 2009) __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ European Beavers / Poland – 2010 Page 1 © http://www.ecovolunteer.org Introduction Many animals modify their immediate environments to meet their needs, but among mammals, only beavers rival human beings in the extent to which they change their landscape. Beavers influence mountain streams through building dams and are influential in maintaining water resources and biodiversity. The absence of this natural engineer caused many problems, and contributed to a reduction in the natural capacity of streams to resist damaging flood events. Consequently, a programme to re-establish populations of beavers in the Carpathians commenced in 1992 and Dr. Andrzej Czech and his team have now released 200 beavers. Many of these beavers built dams and canals but, because of hard mountain conditions, some have left the reintroduction sites.
