Environ- mental monitoring in relation to not only climate change but also globalization is currently essential. The present study aimed to detect tick-borne pathogens of the genera Anaplasma, Rickettsia and Francisella in Ixodes ricinus ticks collected from the natural environment, i.e., recreational areas and pastures used for livestock grazing. A total of 1619 specimens of I. ricinus were collected, including ticks of all life stages (adults, nymphs and larvae). The study was performed using the PCR technique. Diagnostic gene fragments msp2 for Anaplasma, gltA for Rickettsia and tul4 for Francisella were ampli- ﬁed. No Francisella spp. DNA was detected in I. ricinus. DNA of A. phagocytophilum was detected in 0.54% of ticks and Rickettsia spp. in 3.69%. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed that only one species of Rickettsia, R. helvetica, was present in the studied tick population. The present results are a Citation: Kirczuk, L.; Piotrowski, M.; part of a large-scale analysis aimed at monitoring the level of tick infestation in Northwest Poland.

Forests in Poland 2013 Forests in Poland 2013 Poland in Forests
FORESTS IN POLAND 2013 FORESTS IN POLAND 2013 State Forests 1 Forests in Poland 2013 The Forest Act of 28 September 1991 requires that the State Forests publish an annual report on the condition of forests in Poland. This brochure is a shortened version of the report for 2012, which is based on the materials obtained from the Ministry of the Environment, the Directorate-General of the State Forests, the Forest Research Institute, the Forest Management and Geodesy Bureau, the Central Statistical Office and on international statistics. The report details the condition of Polish forests under all forms of ownership in 2012 in the context of the data from recent years. Where it was possible and justified, the report refers to the data from other countries whose natural conditions are comparable to those in Poland: France, the German-speaking countries (Austria, Germany, Switzerland), Central European countries (the Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia and Hungary), the eastern neighbours of Poland (Belarus, Lithuania, Ukraine) and the Scandinavian countries (Finland, Norway, Sweden) which represent different types of forestry to that established in Central Europe). The scope of the report includes three groups of issues: forest resources in Poland, functions of forests and threats to the forest environment. FORESTS IN POLAND 2013 2 Forest resources in Poland 1. Forest area and forest cover In our climatic and geographical zone, forests are the least dis- torted natural formation. They are a necessary element of eco- logical balance and, at the same time, a form of land use which ensures biological production with a market value. Forests are the common good which enhances the quality of human life.

Mietelski Institute of Nuclear Physics Radioactive Contamination of Environment Research Laboratory, Krak6w, Radzikowsklego 152 J. Barszcz, J. Greszta Academy of Agriculture Forest Ecology Department, Krak6w, 29 Listopada 46 ABSTRACT Experimental data of caesium and ruthenium radioactivity In chosen parts of forest ecosystems In Finland and Southern Poland are presented and compared. Measurements were performed with a low-background gamma-rays spectrometer with the Ge(LI) detector. The maximum caeslum 137 ativity In litter form Poland is 25 kBq, in that from Finland 39 kBq, In spruce needles It Is 04 kBq (Poland), 09 kBq (Finland) and in fern leaves it Is as high as 15.9 kBq per kg of dry mass In one sample from Poland. 1. INTRODUCTION The Academy of Agriculture In Krak6w was measuring Industrial pollution in forest ecosystems. After the Chernobyl reactor accident these measurements were extended to Include measurements of radioactive contamination. The measurements started In 1987 and were carried out at the Radioactive Contamination of Environment Research Laboratory of the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Krak6w. In this paper measurements of radioactive contamination of forests In Poland and Finland are presented. 2. SAMPLES Samples of the two upper layers of forest soil: litter (AL ) and humus (AI), of two year old needles of spruce (Picea excelsa) and of fern (Anthyrium sp.) leaves were analysed. Samples from Poland were collected in the late summer of 1987 from 19 experimental plots of the Cracow Academy of Agriculture, Forest Ecology Department, belonging to the standard net -of areas.

YIVO Encyclopedia Published to Celebration and Acclaim alled “essential” and a “goldmine” in early reviews, The YIVO Encyclo- pedia of Jews in Eastern Europe was published this spring by Yale University Press. CScholars immediately hailed the two-volume, 2,400-page reference, the culmination of more than seven years of intensive editorial develop- ment and production, for its thoroughness, accuracy, and readability. YIVO began the celebrations surrounding the encyclopedia’s completion in March, just weeks after the advance copies arrived. On March 11, with Editor in Chief Gershon Hundert serving as moderator and respondent, a distinguished panel of “first readers”—scholars and writers who had not participated in the project—gave their initial reactions to the contents of the work.

ABSTRACT MODELLING AVIAN DISTRIBUTIONS OF THE NAVARRESE REGION IN NORTHERN SPAIN WITH A GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM by Samuel Soret-Garcla GIS (Geographic information Systems) technology was used for identifying relations betweeh environmental characteristics and the breeding distributions of nine avian species of the Navarrese region in northern Spain. Data overlays of multiple GIS layers derived the explanatory variables for modelling the breeding distributions from logistic regressions. A spatial autocorrelation analysis was conducted to characterize the distribution patterns and to incorporate spatial factors (neighborhood effects) into their analysis. All nine patterns analyzed exhibited a high level of spatial autocorrelation. Accordingly, the basic hypothesis of spatial randomness was rejected in favor of spatial clustering for the sample data.
