It is recalled how – at the moment a Polish state first came into being in the 10th century – its western border also followed a course more or less coinciding with these same two rivers. In subsequent cen- turies, the political limits of the Polish and German spheres of influence shifted markedly to the east. However, as a result of the drastic reverse suffered by Nazi Germany, the western border of Poland was re-set at the Oder-Neisse Line. Consideration is given to both the causes and consequences of this far-reaching geopolitical decision taken at the Potsdam Conference by the victorious Three Powers of the USSR, UK and USA. Key words Oder-Neisse Line • western border of Poland • Potsdam Conference • international boundaries Introduction districts – one for each successor – brought the loss, at first periodically and then irrevo- At the end of the 10th century, the Western cably, of the whole of Silesia and of Western border of Poland coincided approximately Pomerania.

  • The Late Holocene Decline of Trapa Natans L. in Northern Poland in the Light of New Palaeobotanical and Geochemical Data
    Limnol. Rev. (2019) 19, 2: 77–91 DOI 10.2478/limre-2019-0007 The late Holocene decline of Trapa natans L. in Northern Poland in the light of new palaeobotanical and geochemical data Agnieszka Lewandowska1*, Przemysław Niedzielski2, Mariusz Gałka3 1Department of Biogeography and Palaeoecology, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Krygowskiego 10, 61-680 Poznań, Poland, e-mail: [email protected] (* corresponding author) 2Department of Analytical Chemistry, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Umultowska 89, 61-614 Poznań, Poland, e-mail: [email protected] 3Department of Geobotany and Plant Ecology, University of Lodz, Banacha 12/16, 90-237 Łódź, Poland, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Trapa natans (water chestnut) is an aquatic, thermophilic plant whose decline has been observed in many localities in central Europe during the last decades. In this paper, we present a description of two new T. natans subfossil sites located outside its present northern distribution in Poland. High-resolution analysis of plant macrofossils supported by geochemical analysis were undertaken to reconstruct the palaeoecological habitat and examine the cause of the late Holocene decline of T. natans that took place ca. 4000 calibrated years before AD 1950 (cal. yr BP) in a paleolake, presently the Bagno Kusowo bog. Its disappearance was a consequence of terrestrialisation and the development of peatland. In paleolake sediments covered by the peat layer in the Mechacz Wielki bog, T. natans macrofossils were found from before ca. 3300 cal. yr BP. The decline ofT. natans could have resulted from the changes and development of other plant communities where the dominant role was played by Stratiotes aloides and Nymphaea sp.

With technical and financial support from the PDF-A, the municipalities of the Barycz Valley defined priorities and actions that integrate resource use and biodiversity protection into social and economic development of the Barycz Valley. These agreed priorities and actions constitute the “Regional Sustainable Development Strategy”, a planning document that puts in place an integrated ecosystem management approach to the use of land, water and biodiversity resources in the Barycz Valley. The MSP will co-finance the execution of priority activities of the RSDS in the areas of (i) nature tourism; (ii) decreasing pollution loads into international water systems; (iii) nature-friendly fish farming; (iv) conservation of globally significant meadows and (v) public support for biodiversity conservation. These activities show clear global benefits in the area of biodiversity and international waters.

  • The Impact of the Coexistence of Methane Hazard and Rock-Bursts on the Safety of Works in Underground Hard Coal Mines
    energies Article The Impact of the Coexistence of Methane Hazard and Rock-Bursts on the Safety of Works in Underground Hard Coal Mines Justyna Swolkie ´n* and Nikodem Szl ˛azak Faculty of Mining and Geoengineering, AGH University of Science and Technology Kraków, 30-059 Kraków, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Several natural threats characterize hard coal mining in Poland. The coexistence of methane and rock-burst hazards lowers the safety level during exploration. The most dangerous are high- energy bumps, which might cause rock-burst. Additionally, created during exploitation, safety pillars, which protect openings, might be the reason for the formation of so-called gas traps. In this part, rock mass is usually not disturbed and methane in seams that form the safety pillars is not dangerous as long as they remain intact. Nevertheless, during a rock-burst, a sudden methane outflow can occur. Preventing the existing hazards increases mining costs, and employing inadequate measures threatens the employees’ lives and limbs. Using two longwalls as examples, the authors discuss the consequences of the two natural hazards’ coexistence. In the area of longwall H-4 in seam 409/4, a rock-burst caused a release of approximately 545,000 cubic meters of methane into the excavations, which tripled methane concentration compared to the values from the period preceding the burst. In the second longwall (IV in seam 703/1), a bump was followed by a rock-burst, which reduced the amount of air flowing through the excavation by 30 percent compared to the airflow before, and methane release rose by 60 percent.

Fish farming operations conducted in this area led to the creation of a cultural landscape characterised by unique natural values, similar to the natural landscape. Approx. 240 species of birds are observed here, of which 170 are nesting species. Due to its natural values, this area has been subject to natural reserve protec- tion as part of the Landscape Park “Dolina Baryczy” (the Barycz Valley). It was entered in the “Living Lakes” list and it is protected under the Ramsar Convention as well as under the European nature protection network Natura 2000. The established forms of nature protection mean the introduction of a certain binding regime, pursuant to which the economic activity conducted in protected areas must take into account the prohibi- tions and orders introduced by documents that establish the said forms of protection.

Traditional environmental management and assessment techniques produce unsatisfactory results because they often ignore facets of system structure that underlie complexity: delays, feedbacks, and non-linearities. Assuming that causes are linked in a linear chain, they concentrate on technological developments (“hard path”) as the only solutions to environmental problems. Adaptive Management is recognized as a promising alternative approach directly addressing links between social and ecological systems and involving stakeholders in the analysis and decision process. This “soft path” requires special tools to facilitate
