    Polish J. of Environ. Stud. Vol. 17, No. 4 (2008), 613-621 Letter to Editor Impact of Railway Facility Operation on Floral Growth in a Powodowo, the Region of Wielkopolska R. Nowińska*, A. Czarna Department of Botany, Poznań University of Life Sciences, Wojska Polskiego 71c, 60-625 Poznań, Poland Received: 7 August, 2007 Accepted: 28 January, 2008 Abstract Our paper presents research on flora, its characteristics and differences, at two adjacent railway stations in Powodowo, western Poland. One of stations has been shut down while the other continues to serve as a site of cement and lime handling. The presence or absence of such operations has been found to affect flora. At the operating station we have observed a larger number of species and families, as well as a relatively greater share of annual and non-indigenous (foreign) plants. At the non-operating station we have observed a rela- tively greater proportion of indigenous (native) species, particularly those common in meadow areas and a large share of perennial species. These observations indicate that a process of spontaneous flora naturalization has been underway at the non-operating station. Both of the stations are home to species that are otherwise rare in the region of Wielkopolska such as Carex ligerica, Epilobium adnatum and Medicago minima. Keywords: railway stations, vascular plants Introduction sections of railways being used occasionally or being shut down altogether [14-15]. A comparative analysis of the At a time of robust economic and industrial growth and species makeup in operating and closed stations carried out improved standards of living in the early 20th century, by the author of this study [15] shows that stations put out Poland built and expanded many of its railway lines and the of operation see their flora undergo a slow but spontaneous related infrastructure, including sidings, reloading ramps, naturalization.

    ODKRYCIA / DISCOVERIES Wiadomości Archeologiczne LXX, 2019: 183–195 https://doi.org/10.36154/wa.70.2019.09 Andrzej Kokowski The Oldest Graphic Representation OF A Horse in Eastern Central EUrope Najstarsze wyobrażenie konia na wschodzie Europy środkowej Keywords: horse images on pottery, Funnel Beaker Culture, Bronze Age, Early Iron Age, Pomeranian Culture Słowa kluczowe: wyobrażenia koni na ceramice, kultura pucharów lejkowatych, epoka brązu, wczesna epoka żelaza, kultura pomorska Strictly speaking, figural representations (of people and ani- tom (tail), and on the right – first bent towards the top (neck) mals) on earthenware had not been common in Eastern Cen- and then slightly slanted down (head). From the trunk line ex- tral Europe until the Hallstatt Period, when they were found in tend two pairs of lines symbolising limbs, almost in every case large numbers on the bellies and necks of urns, which were of- bent slightly at the knees. The sizes of these representations ten decorated with artistic representations of human faces and used by the people of the Pomeranian Culture. Somewhat ear- lier, in the younger stage of the Bronze Age, they occasionally appeared on vessels of the Lusatian Culture. In older periods they included absolutely unique finds, the oldest of them be- ing discovered in Bronocice, Pińczów County, Świętokrzyskie Province. It is dated to 3491 BC – 3060 BC, associated with the people of the Funnel Beaker Culture, and depicts a four- wheeled cart1. Another, much simpler drawing on a vessel of the same culture from the town of Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, Świętokrzyskie Province is regarded to be another represen- tation of such a vehicle2.
