The research underpinning this book is an outcome from one of the European Commission’s Networks of Excellence aimed at creating a Long-Term Biodiversity, Ecosystem and Awareness Research Network (ALTER-Net). One of the main objectives of ALTER-Net is to establish the inter- disciplinary research capacity to address the complex issues of biodiversity loss and the sustainable use and management of biodiversity related resources. This book is one of many examples of the success of that approach within ALTER-Net. Further Terry Parr examples of research relevant to conservation can be found through ALTER-Net’s web site (www.www.alter-net.info) and its International Press Centre for Biodiver- sity Research (IPCB), a portal for biodiversity-related news and press releases (www. biodiversityresearch.net). This book couldn’t have happened without the support of the European Commission Preface 2 in its 6th Framework Programme but it is primarily the result of active collaboration between research scientists from the 24 organisations from 17 countries contributing to ALTER-Net.

The definitions of such indices are crucial, as they are applied to habitat modelling for numerous species on local to continental scales. We examined the Leaf Area Index (LAI) for its value as a tool for determining reptile habitat. During measurements carried out in spring and summer months between 2011 and 2013, LAI values were assessed and surveys were conducted on reptile fauna at 11 survey sites in the Solska Forest and Roztocze National Parks areas in Eastern Poland. In total, six Squamata reptiles occurring in Poland were found. We determined that LAI can be utilized as a reptile habitat index, with reptile species associated with LAI seasonal variability as well as LAI range.

  • Priorities for the National Committees
    Editorial Saverio Palchetti Representative of PIARC World Road Association National Committees The new Strategic Plan: priorities for the National Committees As you know, in the summer a wide consultation was launched at all PIARC levels (First Delegates, Presidents of Technical Committees/Task Forces and National Committees) with a view to drawing up the new Strategic Plan 2020‐2023. I would like to share with you some of my reflections. A more inclusive approach In PIARC both small and large countries, developed and developing countries are represented. All need equal opportunities, ability and freedom to participate and pursue their objectives. Spreading the best practices to be developed and tested in other countries, means giving more attention to the needs and priorities of disadvantaged countries that see the advanced world very far from themselves in know‐ how and technology. The approach of the Association should therefore seek a balance between the needs and aspirations of both the developed and developing countries so that all obtain value from their involvement. A more inclusive approach in the Technical Committees/Task Forces (TCs/TFs) is then advisable. At the moment it is very positive that every TC is involved during the cycle in organizing a seminar in a LMI country. Each TCs / TFs should also be committed to plan for the inclusion of LMIC both in the performance of their work but also in ensuring adequate participation and interest of representatives of those countries. The importance of regional and local factors. TCs / TFs experts are often appointed on the basis of assessments made at national level (ministries, public bodies, etc.).

  • Landscape Ecological Structure of the Roztocze and Solska Forest Regions: a Comparative Study of Models from 1988 and 2011
    Teka Kom. Ochr. Kszt. Środ. Przyr. – OL PAN, 2011, 8, 13–23 LANDSCAPE ECOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF THE ROZTOCZE AND SOLSKA FOREST REGIONS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MODELS FROM 1988 AND 2011 Tadeusz J. Chmielewski, Barbara Sowińska Department of Landscape Ecology and Nature Conservation, University of Life Sciences in Lublin Dobrzańskiego str. 37, 20-262, Lublin, [email protected], [email protected] Summary. Performing a synthesis of various methods of description of the structure and function- ing of landscape systems, and in particular of the results of studies by MacArthur and Wilson [1968], Levis [1968], Maynier [1970], Baudry [1984], Forman and Gordon [1984, 1986], Löw 1985] and many others, in the years 1986–1988 Tadeusz J. Chmielewski developed a concept of landscape as a polyecosystemic zone-sequence-knot system [Chmielewski 1986, 1988] . In accor- dance with that concept, ecosystems functioning in a mosaic of ecotopes, with numerous gradients of moisture and fertility of habitats, but also whole landscape units linked by means of functional- spatial relations, create a complex system whose primary functional-spatial features can be repre- sented in the form of a zone-sequence-knot model. The development of the zone-sequence-knot model of the ecological structure of the landscape of Roztocze and the Solska Forest permitted the demonstration of the key role of the Roztocze National Park in the organisation of the spatial arrangement of ecological zones and sequences. That arrangement resembles the shape of a hand or a fan, oriented in the south-western direction. Comparison of models of the ecological structure of the landscape of Roztocze and the Solska Forest from 1988 and 2011 indicates a great importance of the application of natural-landscape units as the basic structural units of which the zone-sequence-knot model is constructed.

  • Areas of the European Ecological Network Natura 2000 in Roztocze
    BAROMETR REGIONALNY TOM 13 NR 1 Areas of the European Ecological Network Natura 2000 in Roztocze Wioletta Kałamucka, Krzysztof Kałamucki, Małgorzata Stanicka Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, Poland Abstract The Natura 2000 network includes Special Areas of Conservation SACs (habitat refuges coded PLH ) and Special Protection Areas SPA (bird refuges coded PLB). The objective of the network, covering the mem- ber states of the European Union, is the preservation of natural habitats and plant and animal species threatened with extinction on a European scale, as well as typical, commonly occurring natural habitats. Currently in Poland the Natura 2000 network covers almost 1/5 of the land surface. It includes 849 Sites of Community Importance (“habitat” areas — potential special areas of habitat conservation), and 145 special protection areas for birds.
