  • Evaluation of Wetlands and Floodplain Areas in the Danube River Basin Final Report May 1999
    DANUBE POLLUTION REDUCTION PROGRAMME EVALUATION OF WETLANDS AND FLOODPLAIN AREAS IN THE DANUBE RIVER BASIN FINAL REPORT MAY 1999 Programme Coordination Unit UNDP/GEF Assistance prepared by WWF Danube-Carpathian-Programme and WWF-Auen-Institut (Germany) DANUBE POLLUTION REDUCTION PROGRAMME EVALUATION OF WETLANDS AND FLOODPLAIN AREAS IN THE DANUBE RIVER BASIN FINAL REPORT MAY 1999 Programme Coordination Unit UNDP/GEF Assistance prepared by WWF Danube-Carpathian-Programme and WWF-Auen-Institut (Germany) Preface The "Evaluation of Wetlands and Flkoodplain Areas in the Danube River Basin" study was prepared in the frame of the Danube Pollution Reduction Programme (PRP). The Study has been undertaken to define priority wetland and floodplain rehabilitation sites as a component of the Pollution reduction Programme. The present report addresses the identification of former floodplains and wetlands in the Danube River Basin, as well as the description of the current status and evaluation of the ecological importance of the potential for rehabilitation. Based on this evaluation, 17 wetland/floodplain sites have been identified for rehabilitation considering their ecological importance, their nutrient removal capacity and their role in flood protection. Most of the identified wetlands will require transboundary cooperation and represent an important first step in retoring the ecological balance in the Danube River Basin. The results are presented in the form of thematic maps that can be found in Annex I of the study. The study was prepared by the WWF-Danube-Carpathian-Programme and the WWF-Auen-Institut (Institute for Floodplains Ecology, WWF-Germany), under the guidance of the UNDP/GEF team of experts of the Danube Programme Coordination Unit (DPCU) in Vienna, Austria.

  • Lyophilization As a Method for Pathogens Long Term Preservation
    Zbornik Matice srpske za prirodne nauke / Proc. Nat. Sci., Matica Srpska Novi Sad, ¥ 113, 203—210, 2007 UDC 579.61:616-092 Mirjana B. Miloševiã, Slaðana S. Mediã-Pap, Maja V. Ignjatov, Dragana N. Petroviã National Laboratory for Seed Testing, Maksima Gorkog 30, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia, E-mail: [email protected] LYOPHILIZATION AS A METHOD FOR PATHOGENS LONG TERM PRESERVATION ABSTRACT: Lyophilization (freeze-drying) is one of the most suitable methods used for a long term peservation of pathogens. The aim of this paper was the application of lyop- hilization for storage of three significant plant pathogens: Fusarium graminearum, Helmint- hosporium gramineum, and Pseudomonas syringae pv. gylicinea, respectively. The plant material was collected continuously (during a four year period 2002—2006), depending on a plant development stage, from different localities in Vojvodina. Pathogens were isolated from diseased parts with characteristic symptoms, and placed on nutritive media specific for a certain pathogen, using standard phytopathological methods. Lyophilization was carried out in marked and coded ampoules by freezing and drying of pathogen suspension and nu- tritive medium. Revitalization of lyophilized isolates was done after four days. High percen- tage of revitalization was characteristic for all studied isolates, and it ranged from 85— 92%, confirming that lyophilized pathogens would be capable of keeping viability for a long time in the collection. Besides above mentioned pathogens, there were 200 isolates in the collection, originating mostly from field and vegetable crops. Each isolate that was put into the Collection, was followed by all the necessary data such as: name of the pathogen, number of isolates, locality, host plant, year of isolation, name of the researcher and other relevant data.

Project Result: (1-2 sentences) The project results were: Sensitivity map with four sensitivity classes and related documents produced to strengthen conservation knowledge, thus preventing and reducing negative impacts of development on biodiversity; Increased capacity of responsible institutions to prevent biodiversity loss in the target region - eleven institutions from the region were trained how to work with the common GIS database and use the sensitivity map to consider potential impacts of developments on ecosystems and biodiversity . A set of training materials (presentations, manual) comprising information on how to use the common GIS database and sensitivity map were prepared ; Improved public understanding of nature protection, sustainable resources use and compensation mechanisms supporting pro-biodiversity practices. 3. Project logo (if the case) 4. Project Story The target area of the project comprised of five Bulgarian districts (Vidin, Montana, Vratsa, Pleven and Veliko Tarnovo) and four Romanian counties (Mehedinti, Dolj, Olt and Teleorman). The natural features of the area represent valuable assets that may only be sustainably preserved through development of and putting joint management systems in operation.

(svilenica, cigansko perje) poreklom je iz sev- ernih delova centralne i severoistočne Amerike i Kanade. U Evropu je preneta početkom devetnaestog veka a u Srbiju je uneta iz susedne Mađarske. A. syriaca se brzo proširila sa severa zemlje i šireći se Subotičkom i Deliblatskom peščarom, duž puteva i železničkih pruga, kao i duž rečnih tokova, stigla je do juga Vojvodine. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je da se utvrdi koji tipovi zemljišta najviše odgovaraju ovoj ko- rovskoj vrsti kako bi se na osnovu toga predvidela mogućnost njenog daljeg širenja. Na dig- italnoj mapi Vojvodine unete su koordinate registrovanih populacija svilenice i utvrđena je analiza rasprostranjenosti ove korovske vrste na različitim tipovima zemljišta. Od 1250 zabeleženih populacija svilenice na teritoriji Bačke, najveći procenat je konstatovan na černozemu (50,88%), fluvisolu tj. aluvijalnom zemljištu (33,44%) i ritskoj crnici (5,12%). Najmanji broj populacija svilenice zabeležen je na zemljištu rendzina, regosol i pseudoglej. Koeficijent korelacije između procentualne zastupljenosti populacija svilenice na različitim tipovima zemljišta i površina pod ovim tipovima zemljišta, ukazuje na statistički značajnu pozitivnu korelaciju između ove dve varijable. Uticaj tipova zemljišta na rasprostiranje A. syriaca je neznatno s obzirom da je utvrđena na skoro svim tipovima zemljišta koji su prisutni u Bačkoj.
