  • Natural Radioactive Element Content of the Old Crystalline Rocks in Southern Transdanubia (Sw Hungary)
    Acta Mineralogica-Petrographica, Szeged, XL, 121-138, 1999 NATURAL RADIOACTIVE ELEMENT CONTENT OF THE OLD CRYSTALLINE ROCKS IN SOUTHERN TRANSDANUBIA (SW HUNGARY) E. PÁL MOLNÁR*, I. VADOS**, I. GERZSON**, B. KÓBOR* •Department of Mineralogy, Geochemistry and Pétrology, Attila József University "Mecsekérc Environment Protection Co. ABSTRACT On the basis of systématisation of several thousand radioactive element content analyses made in laboratories since the 50's, U and Th content of old granitoid rocks of Southern Transdanubia proved to be much higher than the average U and Th content of granitoids in the world. This value of rocks from areas west of Mecsek Mountains as well as near Szalatnak village and Pecs city is twice higher than the world average. Areas west of the Mecsek Mountains show higher U and lower Th contents than areas east of these mountains. Uranium accumulation is higher in aplites and hydrothermal formations than in granites. The western and eastern granites are less and highly sensitive to leaching, respectively. The intensive U migration resulted in significant U accumulation in young sediments in some places. INTRODUCTION Study of natural radioactive element (U /Ra1, Th, K) content of the rocks in Hungary was performed by the Mecseki Ércbányászati Vállalat (Mecsek Ore Mining Company) until 1990, when uranium exploration was stopped in Hungary. Aim of the analyses was to research U sources, therefore, rocks supposed to contain perspective U accumulation were mainly studied. The aim of this paper is to elaborate many thousands radiological data of granitoid rocks, gneisses and amphibolite-like metamorphic rocks coming from Southern Transdanubia (south of the Szekszárd-Kaposvár-Kutas line to the state boundary, and east of the Kutas-Csokonyavisonta-Barcs line to the Danube).

Bevezetés Jelen közleményben folytatjuk a Déli-Bakony florisztikai kutatása (MÉSZÁROS – SIMON, 2001, 2002) során gyûjtött adataink közlését. Az alábbiakban a 2002-ben elõkerült florisztikai újdonságokat adjuk közre. (A Déli-Bakony flórakutatását elõzõ cikkeinkben ismertettük.) Az itt közölt adatok Veszprém, Nemesvámos, Tótvázsony, Nagyvázsony, Öcs, Pula, Taliándörögd, Úrkút, Padragkút és Hegyesd községhatárokból származnak. A fajok elnevezése és sorrendje SIMON (2000) munkája alapján készült. Az adatok egy részérõl fotódokumentáció és herbáriumi dokumentáció is létezik. A fajok lelõhelyeinek elnevezése 1: 10000-es erdészeti üzemi térképek, valamint 1: 10000-es EOTR térképek alapján történt, de néhány esetben, zárójelben téve a helyi vagy a turistatérképeken található elnevezések is szerepelnek. Amennyiben a térképeken nem találtunk földrajzi nevet egy adott területre úgy a helyi elnevezést alkalmaztuk. KOVÁCS J. A.

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.

  • Analysis of the Transdanubian Region of Hungary According to Plant Species Diversity and Floristic Geoelement Categories
    FOLIA OECOLOGICA – vol. 44, no. 1 (2017), doi: 10.1515/foecol-2017-0001 Review article Analysis of the Transdanubian region of Hungary according to plant species diversity and floristic geoelement categories Dénes Bartha1*†, Viktor Tiborcz1* *Authors with equal contribution 1Department of Botany and Nature Conservation, Faculty of Forestry, University of West Hungary, H-9400 Sopron, Bajcsy-Zsilinszky 4, Hungary Abstract Bartha, D., Tiborcz, V., 2017. Analysis of the Transdanubian region of Hungary according to plant species diversity and floristic geoelement categories.Folia Oecologica, 44: 1–10. The aim of this study was to describe the proportion of floristic geoelements and plant biodiversity in the macroregions of Transdanubia. The core data source used for the analysis was the database of the Hungar- ian Flora Mapping Programme. The analysed data were summarized in tables and distribution maps. The percentage of continental elements was higher in dry areas, whereas the proportion of circumboreal elements was higher in humid and rainy parts of Transdanubia. According to the climatic zones, the highest value of continental geoelement group occurred in the forest-steppe zone. The plant species diversity and geoele- ments were analysed also on a lower scale, with Transdanubia specified into five macroregions. The highest diversity values were found in the Transdanubian Mountain and West-Transdanubian regions because of the climatic, topographic, and habitat diversity.

It aims to guarantee the effective and lasting preservation and protection of Jewish cemeteries and mass graves throughout the European continent. Identified by the Hebrew phrase Lo Tishkach (‘do not forget’), the Foundation is establishing a comprehensive publicly-accessible database of all Jewish burial grounds in Europe, currently featuring details on over 9,000 Jewish cemeteries and mass graves. Lo Tishkach is also producing a compendium of the different national and international laws and practices affecting these sites, to be used as a starting point to advocate for the better protection and preservation of Europe’s Jewish heritage. A key aim of the project is to engage young Europeans, bringing Europe’s history alive, encouraging reflection on the values that are important for responsible citizenship and mutual respect, giving a valuable insight into Jewish culture and mobilising young people to care for our common heritage. Preliminary Report on Legislation & Practice Relating to the Protection and Preservation of Jewish Burial Grounds Hungary Prepared by Andreas Becker for the Lo Tishkach Foundation in February 2009 with the support of the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany & the Conference of European Rabbis.
