It is recalled how – at the moment a Polish state first came into being in the 10th century – its western border also followed a course more or less coinciding with these same two rivers. In subsequent cen- turies, the political limits of the Polish and German spheres of influence shifted markedly to the east. However, as a result of the drastic reverse suffered by Nazi Germany, the western border of Poland was re-set at the Oder-Neisse Line. Consideration is given to both the causes and consequences of this far-reaching geopolitical decision taken at the Potsdam Conference by the victorious Three Powers of the USSR, UK and USA. Key words Oder-Neisse Line • western border of Poland • Potsdam Conference • international boundaries Introduction districts – one for each successor – brought the loss, at first periodically and then irrevo- At the end of the 10th century, the Western cably, of the whole of Silesia and of Western border of Poland coincided approximately Pomerania. -

The Late Holocene Decline of Trapa Natans L. in Northern Poland in the Light of New Palaeobotanical and Geochemical Data

In this paper, we present a description of two new T. natans subfossil sites located outside its present northern distribution in Poland. High-resolution analysis of plant macrofossils supported by geochemical analysis were undertaken to reconstruct the palaeoecological habitat and examine the cause of the late Holocene decline of T. natans that took place ca. 4000 calibrated years before AD 1950 (cal. yr BP) in a paleolake, presently the Bagno Kusowo bog. Its disappearance was a consequence of terrestrialisation and the development of peatland. In paleolake sediments covered by the peat layer in the Mechacz Wielki bog, T. natans macrofossils were found from before ca. 3300 cal. yr BP. The decline ofT. natans could have resulted from the changes and development of other plant communities where the dominant role was played by Stratiotes aloides and Nymphaea sp. -

With technical and financial support from the PDF-A, the municipalities of the Barycz Valley defined priorities and actions that integrate resource use and biodiversity protection into social and economic development of the Barycz Valley. These agreed priorities and actions constitute the “Regional Sustainable Development Strategy”, a planning document that puts in place an integrated ecosystem management approach to the use of land, water and biodiversity resources in the Barycz Valley. The MSP will co-finance the execution of priority activities of the RSDS in the areas of (i) nature tourism; (ii) decreasing pollution loads into international water systems; (iii) nature-friendly fish farming; (iv) conservation of globally significant meadows and (v) public support for biodiversity conservation. These activities show clear global benefits in the area of biodiversity and international waters. -

Conditions of Fish Farming in Natura 2000 Areas, Based on the Example of the Catchment of Barycz

Fish farming operations conducted in this area led to the creation of a cultural landscape characterised by unique natural values, similar to the natural landscape. Approx. 240 species of birds are observed here, of which 170 are nesting species. Due to its natural values, this area has been subject to natural reserve protec- tion as part of the Landscape Park “Dolina Baryczy” (the Barycz Valley). It was entered in the “Living Lakes” list and it is protected under the Ramsar Convention as well as under the European nature protection network Natura 2000. The established forms of nature protection mean the introduction of a certain binding regime, pursuant to which the economic activity conducted in protected areas must take into account the prohibi- tions and orders introduced by documents that establish the said forms of protection. -

Traditional environmental management and assessment techniques produce unsatisfactory results because they often ignore facets of system structure that underlie complexity: delays, feedbacks, and non-linearities. Assuming that causes are linked in a linear chain, they concentrate on technological developments (“hard path”) as the only solutions to environmental problems. Adaptive Management is recognized as a promising alternative approach directly addressing links between social and ecological systems and involving stakeholders in the analysis and decision process. This “soft path” requires special tools to facilitate -
Changes in the Spatial Development of Flood Hazard Areas in Poland Between 1990 and 2018 in the Light of Legal Conditions

The analysis of changes in the development of flood Spatial development hazard areas was conducted by means of the Corine Land Cover database. The results of the analysis were later Poland used to evaluate potential economic losses on flood plains, and then spatiotemporal analysis was applied to identify areas with clusters of high and low loss values and the trends regarding their transformations. In consequence, the identification of municipality (Polish: gmina) clusters allowed us to verify the dependence of such transformations on those factors that could impact their intensity. For that purpose, we analysed the coverage of local spatial development plans for individual clusters. On the basis of the conducted studies, we concluded that the implemented legal solutions are not entirely effective, which has also been stated by the legislator. -
