  • Soil Mite Communities (Acari: Mesostigmata) As Indicators of Urban Ecosystems in Bucharest, Romania M
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Soil mite communities (Acari: Mesostigmata) as indicators of urban ecosystems in Bucharest, Romania M. Manu1,5*, R. I. Băncilă2,3,5, C. C. Bîrsan1, O. Mountford4 & M. Onete1 The aim of the present study was to establish the efect of management type and of environmental variables on the structure, abundance and species richness of soil mites (Acari: Mesostigmata) in twelve urban green areas in Bucharest-Romania. Three categories of ecosystem based upon management type were investigated: protected area, managed (metropolitan, municipal and district parks) and unmanaged urban areas. The environmental variables which were analysed were: soil and air temperature, soil moisture and atmospheric humidity, soil pH and soil penetration resistance. In June 2017, 480 soil samples were taken, using MacFadyen soil core. The same number of measures was made for quantifcation of environmental variables. Considering these, we observed that soil temperature, air temperature, air humidity and soil penetration resistance difered signifcantly between all three types of managed urban green area. All investigated environmental variables, especially soil pH, were signifcantly related to community assemblage. Analysing the entire Mesostigmata community, 68 species were identifed, with 790 individuals and 49 immatures. In order to highlight the response of the soil mite communities to the urban conditions, Shannon, dominance, equitability and soil maturity indices were quantifed. With one exception (numerical abundance), these indices recorded higher values in unmanaged green areas compared to managed ecosystems. The same trend was observed between diferent types of managed green areas, with metropolitan parks having a richer acarological fauna than the municipal or district parks.

  • Physical Properties of the Quaternary Sedimentary Rocks in the Eastern Bucharest Area
    Romanian Reports in Physics, Vol. 57, No. 1, P. 151–163, 2005 PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE QUATERNARY SEDIMENTARY ROCKS IN THE EASTERN BUCHAREST AREA ANDREI BALA1, VICTOR RAILEANU1, NICOLAE MANDRESCU1, ION ZIHAN2, EUGEN DANANAU2 1 National Institute of Research and Development for Earth Physics, P.O. Box MG-2, Bucharest-Magurele, Romania, [email protected] 2 “Prospecþiuni” S.A., str. Caransebeº, nr. 1, Bucharest, Romania (Received October 4, 2004) Abstract. New seismic measurements are performed in the eastern Bucharest area with the purpose of defining better the physical properties of the shallow sedimentary rocks. A high resolution seismic profile, 600 m in length, was carried out in the area, as well as down-hole seismic measurements in two boreholes drilled at the ends of the profile. Computing and interpretation of the data lead to the conclusion that shallow sedimentary rocks can be considered weak and very weak in the area, down to 70 m depth. Seismic wave velocity values and bulk density values presented in the paper associated with local geology are useful primary data in the seismic microzonation of Bucharest City. This work was performed in the frame of the CERES Contract no. 34/11.11.2002, funded by the Ministry of Education and Research, Bucharest, Romania. Key words: seismic profile, down-hole seismic measurements, seismic microzonation. 1. GEOMORPHOLOGY OF THE BUCHAREST AREA Bucharest is situated in the central part of the Romanian Plain, a transitional area between the piedmont plains from the north and the Danube River to the south [1]. Some local plains can be distinguished in the city area: Bãneasa – Pantelimon, Giuleºti – Floreasca, Vergului and Cotroceni – Vãcãreºti (Fig.

  • Romania MARKET Overview Annual Review & Outlook
    2011 Romania MARKET Overview Annual review & outlook Highlights • Activity in the Bucharest office market improved in 2010, as take-up was recorded at 225,000 sq m, an increase of 125% on 2009. Prime office rents were broadly stable during the second half of the year, after falling slightly in the first six months. • The high street segment was the most active in the retail market during 2010. Strong demand for retail space in Bucharest has helped prime high street rents to stabilize, though rents in secondary locations remain under downward pressure. • Vacancy rates in the industrial sector have risen, despite improved demand and limited development completions. Prime industrial rents fell by 10-20% during 2010. • The Romanian investment market experienced a modest recovery in 2010, with approximately €500 million being invested. However, activity remains constrained by difficult access to finance. 2 www.knightfrank.com Contents 1. Office Market 4 2. Retail Market 9 3. Industrial Market 12 4. Land Market 14 5.
