Aconitum in the Sudetes and Carpathians were analyzed to test whether the taxon has common markers in these two mountain systems. In the Sudetes the taxon forms an autopolyploid chromosome complex (2n = 32), and allopolyploid in the neighboring Western Carpathians. The chromosome Giemsa C banding pattern of the allotetraploid Carpathian A. firmum was found to be common to both Sudetic autopolyploid A. plicatum and diploid A. var- iegatum. The Sudetes are geologically older than the Carpathians, and it is argued that an ancient Sudetic taxon may have contributed to the genome of the Carpathian taxon. The Quaternary glaciations and corresponding range extensions of alpine floras may have facilitated their secondary contact(s). This is supported by a molec- ular ISSR+RAPD pattern that points to introgression between the Sudetic A. plicatum subsp. sudeticum and Carpathian A. firmum subsp. maninense.

  • House in Carpathians1

Since the last century an attention of many explorers from many countries has focused on it. A common interest in finding the answers to the questions of the causes of the specifications of their cultural manifestation in the Carpathians connected them. They seemed to be different from firmly rooted ideas about the typical features of individual nations. Anachronisms provoke everybody who was looking for the originalities of their own national or Slavonic culture. They served to the creating of romantic fanta- sies about the culture in the mountains surviving into the period in which European nations formed. From the point of view of a historian this culture is considered to be very young, having been created before our eyes. Our generation could still study it by the very watching. We know it from autopsy. It differed from neighbouring lower situated areas with the early evolution forms, transferring of their phenomena for long distances, strong penetration and co operation with neighbouring social environments and ethnic heterogeneity. This all enabled people in the mountains to survive even in the worst climatic and social conditions. The principles of the folk culture being thought to be specific for the whole Carpathians touching vast areas of Europe connected fairly different forms of the way of the life from the Balkan to White Russia and from the river Morava (CZ) as far as the coast of the Black Sea.

  • The Glaciofluvial Terrace in the Moravian Gate (Czech Republic)
    Journal of Anthropozoic Pages 8 – – Czech Geological Survey ISBN 978-80-7075-761–1 Geological Sciences 27 51–61 figures table plate Prague 2011 ISSN 0036-5270 The glaciofluvial terrace in the Moravian Gate (Czech republic) Glacifluviální terasa v Moravské bráně Jaroslav Tyráček † TyráČek, J. (2011): The glaciofluvial terrace in the Moravian Gate (Czech Republic). – Sbor. geol. Věd, Antropozoikum, 27, 51–61. Praha. Key words: northern Moravia, Pliocene, Pleistocene, continental glaciation Abstract: The sediments exotic to local geological setting that occur close to the European water-divide in the Moravian Gate have been primarily interpreted as glacial since the end of the 19th century. Because the Scandinavian ice sheet advanced twice into the Moravian Gate, the age of its maximum extent, level and direction of the meltwater drainage were the most important topics. The term glaciofluvial terrace, introduced into the literature by Hassinger (1914) is intimately linked with the maximum glaciation, which is here dated to the Elsterian Stage glacial. In fact, however, the Elsterian glacier halted far from the divide and no traces of its having crossed this barrier have been identified. Nor has the drainage via the Moravian Gate during the Elsterian times been confirmed. Two gravel occurrences at Nad dolama and Horecko about 70–80 m above the Bečva River have been proposed as the representatives of the glaciofluvial terrace. They are composed of local lithologies derived from the Nízký Jeseník upland. No exotic rocks have been identified in these sediments not even those from the flysch conglomerates, which occur in the upper Carpathian part of the Bečva River course.

  • Numbers and Distribution
    Numbers and distribution The brown bear used to occur throughout the whole Europe. In the beginning of XIX century its range in Poland had already contracted and was limited to the Carpathians, the Białowieża Forest, the currently non-existent Łódzka Forest and to Kielce region (Jakubiec and Buchalczyk 1987). After World War I bears occurred only in the Eastern Carpathians. In the 1950’ the brown bears was found only in the Tatra Mountains and the Bieszczady Mountains and its population size was estimated at 10-14 individuals only (Buchalczyk 1980). In the following years a slow population increase was observed in the Polish Carpathians. Currently the brown bear’s range in Poland is limited to the Carpathians and stretches along the Polish-Slovak border. Occasional observations are made in the Sudetes where one migrating individual was recorded in the 1990’ (Jakubiec 1995). The total range of the brown bear in Poland is estimated at 5400-6500 km2. The area available for bears based on the predicative model for the habitat is much larger and may reach 68 700km2 (within which approx. 29000 km2 offers suitable breeding sites) (Fernández et al. 2012). Currently experts estimate the numbers of bears in Poland at merely 95 individuals. There are 3 main area of bear occurrence: 1. the Bieszczady Mountains, the Low Beskids, The Sącz Beskids and the Gorce Mountains, 2. the Tatra Mountains, 3. the Silesian Beskids and the Żywiec Beskids. It must be noted, however, that bears only breed in the Bieszczady Mountains, the Tatra Mountains and in the Żywiec Beskids. Poland is the north limit range of the Carpathian population (Swenson et al.

In addition to a growth of population, economic expansion - particularly in the railway age - greatly increased pressure on resources: evident through peasant colonisation of high mountain surfaces (as in the Apuseni Mountains) as well as industrial growth most evident in a number of metallurgical centres and the logging activity following the railway alignments through spruce-fir forests. Spa tourism is examined and particular reference is made to the pastoral economy of the Sibiu area nourished by long-wave transhumance until more stringent frontier controls gave rise to a measure of diversification and resettlement. It is evident that ecological risk increased, with some awareness of the need for conservation, although substantial innovations did not occur until after the First World War Rezumat: Ca parte componentă a unui studiu asupra ecoregiunii carpatice, pentru a identifica unele caracteristici privitoare la transformările din domeniul geografiei umane, acest articol se referă la secolele XVIII şi XIX când au existat măsuri politice unitare ale unui Imperiu Habsburgic aflat în expansiune.

  • Neotectonics of the Polish Carpathians in the Light of Geomorphic Studies: a State of the Art
    Acta Geodyn. Geomater., Vol. 6, No. 3 (155), 291-308, 2009 NEOTECTONICS OF THE POLISH CARPATHIANS IN THE LIGHT OF GEOMORPHIC STUDIES: A STATE OF THE ART Witold ZUCHIEWICZ Faculty of Geology, Geophysics and Environmental Protection, AGH University of Science and Technology, A. Mickiewicza 30, 30-059 Kraków, Poland *Corresponding author‘s e-mail: [email protected] (Received January 2009, accepted March 2009) ABSTRACT Neotectonics of the Carpathians used to be studied extensively, particular attention being paid to the effects of large-scale domal uplifts and open folding above marginal zones of thrusts and imbricated map-scale folds, and rarely to the characteristics of young faulting. Neotectonic faults tend to be associated with the margins of the Orava-Nowy Targ Basin, superposed on the boundary between the Inner and Outer Western Carpathians, as well as with some regions within the Outer Carpathians. The size of Quaternary tilting of the Tatra Mts. on the sub-Tatric fault were estimated at 100 to 300 m, and recent vertical crustal movements of this area detected by repeated precise levelling are in the range of 0.4-1.0 mm/yr in rate. Minor vertical block movements of oscillatory character (0.5-1 mm/yr) were detected along faults cutting the Pieniny Klippen Belt owing to repeated geodetic measurements performed on the Pieniny geodynamic test area. In the western part of the Western Outer Carpathians, middle and late Pleistocene reactivation of early Neogene thrust surfaces was suggested. Differentiated mobility of reactivated as normal Miocene faults (oriented (N-S to NNW-SSE and NNE-SSW) in the medial portion of the Dunajec River drainage basin appears to be indicated by the results of long-profile analyses of deformed straths, usually of early and middle Pleistocene age.

A direct impact of heavy precipitation on extremely high runoff episodes was confirmed, and an essential role of synoptic conditions in triggering abundant rainfall was proved. Synoptic conditions preceding each flood event were taken into consideration and the evolution of the pressure field as well as the moisture transport was investigated using the anomaly-based method. Maps of anomalies, constructed for the days prior to floods, enabled recognizing an early formation of negative centers of sea level pressure and also allowed distinguishing areas of positive departures of precipitable water content over Europe. Five cyclonic circulation patterns of different origin, and various extent and intensity, responsible for heavy, flood-triggering precipitation in the Sudetes, were assigned. Most rain-bringing cyclones form over the Mediterranean Sea and some of them over the Atlantic Ocean. A meridional southern transport of moisture was identified in most of the analyzed cases of floods. Recognizing the specific meteorological mechanisms of precipitation enhancement, involving evolution of pressure patterns, change in atmospheric moisture and occurrence of precipitation may contribute to a better understanding of the atmospheric forcing of floods in mountain areas and to improve predicting thereof.

Ekológia (Bratislava), Vol. 33, No. 4, p. 307–320, 2014. The article contributes to a deeper understanding of agricultural terraces in NW Slovakia. The agri- cultural terraces found in 12 mountain ranges were characterised in detail on 32 localities. The slope parts of the studied terraces are on average only 2.3 m wide and current and former agricultural areas between them are on average 11 m wide. Furthermore, seventy phytosociological relevés were made on the terraces. Overall, 360 species of vascular plants were found in the relevés, 66 of which appeared regularly. The localities were evaluated by DCA analysis. The main factor influencing the species com- position appears to be the geological composition of the bedrock and, probably, the altitude as well. High coverage of the herb layer (median value 95%), low coverage of the shrub layer (median value 5%) and the absence or a very low coverage of the tree layer is typical for these terraces. Key words: NW Slovakia, agricultural terraces, vascular plants species, properties of the terraces.

In order to characterize the pollution in the region and identify the pollution origin, Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) was employed for determination of 34 elements in PM10 samples collected at a height of 90 m above ground level. From April 2018 to March 2019, 111 PM10 samples from eight basic wind directions and calm and two smog situations were sampled. The elemental composition significantly varied depending on season and sampling conditions.

The distributions of the Micropeplinae (Staphylinidae) within the present-day territory of Poland are summarized on the basis of surveys of the literature and collections. An updated and annotated checklist of Polish micropeplines is given, comprising two genera and seven species. Micropeplus staphylinoides (MARSHAM) has been removed from the list; the occurrence of M. caelatus ERICHSON and M. longipennis KRAATZ, reported by previous authors, needs to be confirmed with new findings. Micropeplus latus HAMPE is reported for the first time from Poland, based on a specimen collected in the Małopolska Upland, close to the Świętokrzyskie Mts. An updated identification key for Polish Micropeplus spp. is presented and habitus photographs of M. latus are provided. KEY WORDS: Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Micropeplinae, Micropeplus latus, new record, Poland. INTRODUCTION The Micropeplinae are a relatively small group of staphylinids associated with moist forest floor litter, water margins, plant debris or nests of mammals; they feed on mould spores and hyphae (reviewed by CAMPBELL 1968; LÖBL & BURCKHARDT 1988; NEWTON 1991; THAYER 2005). Despite their distinctive morphology, these small beetles have been inadequately studied, and even knowledge of the distributions of species occurring in Central Europe is rather fragmentary.
