  • Ferns of the Lower Jurassic from the Mecsek Mountains (Hungary): Taxonomy and Palaeoecology
    PalZ (2019) 93:151–185 https://doi.org/10.1007/s12542-018-0430-8 RESEARCH PAPER Ferns of the Lower Jurassic from the Mecsek Mountains (Hungary): taxonomy and palaeoecology Maria Barbacka1,2 · Evelyn Kustatscher3,4,5 · Emese R. Bodor6,7 Received: 7 July 2017 / Accepted: 26 July 2018 / Published online: 20 September 2018 © The Author(s) 2018 Abstract Ferns are the most diverse group in the Early Jurassic plant assemblage of the Mecsek Mountains in southern Hungary and, considering their abundance and diversity, are an important element of the flora. Five families were recognized so far from the locality; these are, in order of abundance, the Dipteridaceae (48% of collected fern remains), Matoniaceae (25%), Osmun- daceae (21%), Marattiaceae (6%) and Dicksoniaceae (three specimens). Ferns are represented by 14 taxa belonging to nine genera: Marattiopsis hoerensis, Todites princeps, Todites goeppertianus, Phlebopteris angustiloba, Phlebopteris kirchneri Barbacka and Kustatscher sp. nov., Matonia braunii, Thaumatopteris brauniana, Clathropteris meniscoides, Dictyophyl- lum nilssoni, Dictyophyllum rugosum, Cladophlebis denticulata, Cladophlebis haiburnensis, Cladophlebis roessertii, and Coniopteris sp. Ferns from the Mecsek Mts. are rarely found in association with other plants. They co-occur mostly with leaves of Nilssonia, leaflets of Sagenopteris, and rarely with other plants. The most commonly co-occurring fern species is P. kirchneri Barbacka and Kustatscher sp. nov. According to our statistical approach (PCA, Ward cluster analysis), the fern taxa cluster in four groups corresponding to their environmental preferences, determined by moisture and disturbance. Most taxa grew in monospecific thickets in disturbed areas; a few probably formed bushes in mixed assemblages, whereas one taxon, P. kirchneri, probably was a component of the understorey in a stable, developed succession of humid environments.

  • Microtectonic Measurements and Interpretation of the Mesozoic Formations in the Villány Hills and Görcsöny–Máriakéménd Ridge, Hungary
    Central European Geology, Vol. 53/1, pp. 21–42 (2010) DOI: 10.1556/CEuGeol.53.2010.1.2 Microtectonic measurements and interpretation of the Mesozoic formations in the Villány Hills and Görcsöny–Máriakéménd Ridge, Hungary Attila Petrik Department of Regional Geology Eötvös Lóránd University, Budapest Within the framework of a National Research Fund project, different types of scientific investigations were carried out with the aim of a comprehensive paleogeographic reconstruction of the Tisza structural unit. As part of this project microtectonic measurements in the area of the Villány Hills and Görcsöny–Máriakéménd Ridge were carried out. Several publications have already appeared concerning the structural development of the Mecsek–Villány area (Csontos and Bergerat 1988, 1993; Benkovics 1997; Csontos et al. 2002), but in these the Villány Hills and their surroundings played a secondary role compared to the Mecsek Mountains. The goal of the present study was to establish the limits of the structural phases and determine their relative and absolute ages. An important issue has been to clarify to what degree the suggested events of structural deformation could be integrated into regional geologic processes. The tectonic conditions of the area of interest were studied through description and analysis of structural elements of 12 investigated quarries within it. Calculated stress field data were also analyzed. Seven quarries in the Villány Hills, five in the Görcsöny–Máriakéménd area, the data of over 650 striae, 550 joints, various ductile deformation elements (folds, flexures) as well as stylolites, were recorded. Integrating these structural elements into the regional geologic processes was of significant importance. Introduction and geologic background The Tisza Unit (Fig.

  • Upper Eocene Echinoidea from Buda Hills, Hungary
    UPPER EOCENE ECHINOIDEA FROM BUDA HILLS, HUNGARY by A. BARTHA Department of Palaeontotogy, Eötvös University, H-1083 Budapest, Ludovika tér 2, Hungary. Present address: Hungarian Geoiogica) Survey. H-Í442 Budapest, P. O Box )06, Hungary ^gcefvcJ.' 6i/t MarcA, 79^97 Abstract Five tocatities in Buda Hiits, Budapest, yietded t820 specimens of echinoids: 43 species of 22 genera were recognized. Six types of host rocks are interpreted as six environments; tim estone, sandy tim estone, A'MmmMftfeí-ÜMCOcyc/MM iim estone, m ariy MrmmM/;- res-Dtscw^'c/trtd timestone, Bryozoa mari and Buda Mart indicate a graduat change from nears­ hore to deep water, quiet environment. The fauna is characteristic for the Upper Eocene; Middte Eocene and Lower Otigocene species are subordinate. Comparisons with described faunas indicate Southern Atpine affinity. Introduction Upper Eocene formations of the Buda Hiiis are rich in echinoids. Collection and publication of the fauna started in the 19th century. A pioneer worker was ELEK PÁVAY (1874), who studied the echinoid fauna of the Bryozoa and Buda Marls, and described several new species. At the turn of the century and during the first decades of the 20th century faunal lists were published only on the echinoids of the 7VMfnmM/nes-D/scocyc7ma limestone. A list of the Martinovics-hegy locality was published by LŐRENTHEY (1897) and another by LŐWY (1928). The study of SZÖRÉNYI (1929) played an extremely important role in the investigation of the Buda Hills echinoids. Describing the fauna of the Buda Marl, a detailed discussion was provided on the material of new collections, too.

H-6722 Szeged, Hungary 2Universität Leipzig, Ritterstraße 26. DE-04109 Leipzig, Germany *Corresponding authors E-mails: [email protected], [email protected] (Manuscript received in final form December 18, 2012) Abstract–In the Carpathian Basin, drought is a severe natural hazard that causes extensive damage. Over the next century, drought is likely to remain one of the most serious natural hazards in the region. Motivated by this hazard, the analysis presented in this paper outlines the spatial and temporal changes of the drought hazard through the end of this century using the REMO and ALADIN regional climate model simulations. The aim of this study was to indicate the magnitude of the drought hazard and the potentially vulnerable areas for the periods 2021–2050 and 2071–2100, assuming the A1B emission scenario. The magnitude of drought hazard was calculated by aridity (De Martonne) and drought indices (Pálfai drought index, standardised anomaly index). By highlighting critical drought hazard areas, the analysis can be applied in spatial planning to create more optimal land and water management to eliminate the increasing drought hazard and the related wind erosion hazard. During the 21st century, the drought hazard is expected to increase in a spatially heterogeneous manner due to climate change. On the basis of temperature and precipitation data, the largest increase in the drought hazard by the end of the 21st century is simulated to occur in the Great Hungarian Plain.
