A total of 45 samples were taken on nine positions. Most of the collected individuals were identified to the family level, except: Heptageniidae which was diagnosed to the genus; Turbellaria and Oligochaeta identified into the class. The conducted research showed that 54 taxa of benthic macroinvertebrates occurred at the analyzed sites. Among them, 40 taxa have a bioindicative value. The most sensitive to pollution are mayflies from the family Ameletidae and caddisflies from the families Glossosomatidae, Leptoceridae and Beraeidae. However, their frequency and density at the study sites was very low. The families Ephemerellidae, Heptageniidae, Hydropsychidae and Polycentropodidae as well as annelids from the Oligochaeta class were much more frequent. Based on macrozoobenthos diversity data, two biological indices were calculated: BMWP-PL index and Margalef's biodiversity index. The values of these biological indicators was using to the classiffication of water into the appropriate quality class. The final classification showed that the examined sections of the Vistula river represents the I, II and III class of water quality what indicated high, good and moderate ecological potential/state. The first class of water quality in terms of both indices was recorded at the sites located in Ustroń, Skoczów and Drogomyśl. For these positions, the value of the BMWP-PL index was over 100, while the value of the Margalef's index was in the range of 6.26-7.17.The lowest, third class of water quality was found in Kiczyce and Ochaby Wielkie. In these places, the diversity of macroinvertebrates was the lowest, which was reflected in the low values of both studied indices (BMWP-PL: 40; 41, Margalef's index: 2.6; 3.37).

W celu oceny tendencji dynamicznych wyróżnionych zbiorowisk roślinnych porównano dane fitosocjologiczne z 1995 i 2011 roku. Analiza DCA oraz wielozmienna analiza wariancji PERMANOVA wykazały brak istotnych statystycznie różnic w składzie gatunkowym porównywanych fitocenoz w badanym okresie. Za pomocą testu Wilcoxona dla par wiązanych odnotowano natomiast istotne statystycznie różnice w wartościach średnich bogactwa gatunkowego oraz wskaźnika jednorodności gatunkowej Pielou. Największe przeobrażenia struktury stwierdzono w zespole rajgrasu wyniosłego Arrenatheretum elatioris Br.-Bl. ex Scherr. 1925, co wynika z dużej wrażliwości tej fitocenozy na zmiany parametrów środowiskowych oraz sposobu użytkowania.

The calculated values of Multimetric Diatom Index (IO) indicated class II of ecological potential, while the Multimetric Macroinvertebrate Index (MMI_PL) − class III. The final classification of biological, physicochemical and hydromorphological elements showed that the examined section of the Soła river represents a moderate ecological potential which indicates a moderate disruption in the functioning of the water ecosystem as well as a violation of the hydrological regime and morphological conditions of the riverbed.

However, it is the subjective method, which results in error difficult to control. The objective of the research was to present a canopyscope and to compare results of canopy cover estimation using it with visual estimates. We conducted several experiments in oak−hornbeam, pine and spruce forest stands in southern Poland. We engaged in fieldwork well− and less−experienced students, i.e. biologists skilled in methods of phytosociology and students of nature engineering as well as three professional phytosociologists. They performed a comparative research in terms of correlation analyses, analysis of coefficients of variation and intra−class correlation (ICC) between−observers and between−methods using both ways of canopy cover estimates. The correlation between canopyscope score and results of visual estimates was highest in the group of phytosociologists (rs=0.82, p<0.001) followed by well−experienced students (rs=0.72, p<0.001) and less−experienced persons (rs=0.62, p<0.001). For purpose of comparison of both methods two variants of visual method were applied: optional visual cover estimate, and adjusted visual method where percentage cover of tree layer was noted using 4% intervals likewise in canopyscope method. The results of visual estimate method were characterized by more than threefold higher variation (CV%=9.72 and CV%=9.46 for optional variant and adjusted variant respectively) in comparison with canopy−scope method (CV%=2.26) in repeating measurements on the same plot. In terms of repeatability, analysis yielded 0.873 (p<0.0001) and 0.622 (p=0.00682) values of ICC for canopyscope and adjusted visual estimate respectively between two phytoso− ciologists. The result of intra−class correlation for comparison between methods within each rater separately revealed low and non−significant value of ICC. We suggest using canopyscope because this method is more precise, reliable and repeatable than visual estimation. Moreover, canopyscope is easier and more convenient to use when compared to objective methods as hemispherical photography of tree canopy and image analysis.

This subject is little known in this group of plant. Investigations of nitrate reductase activity in green tissues of Brachythecium rutabulum (Hedw.) Schimp. and Atrichum undulatum (Hedw.) P.Beauv. were performed. The study was conducted in two localities: heavy contaminated waste tip Skalny located in Upper Silesia, and Blonia City Park in Bielsko-Biala which place was chosen as a control area. For both species high activity of the enzyme was detected. The nitrate reductase activity varied between 99 to 9093 nmol per g dry mass per hour for B. rutabulum and 265 to 5135 nmol per g d.m. per hour of nitrite synthesized for A. undulatum respectively on Skalny waste tip. In the control area the results varied between 747 to 1077 for B. rutabulum and 171 to 518 nmol per g d.m. per hour of nitrite synthesized for A. undulatum, respectively. The differences were statistically significant only between the two species but not between habitats probably due to high dispersion and small amount of replications. The levels of nitrate and nitrite in stream water in both areas were also measured. In the Skalny waste tip there were high and reached 1.66 mg · dm-3 of nitrite and 65 mg · dm-3 of nitrate, respectively. In the control area these amounts were lower and reach zero level for nitrite and 4.5 mg · dm-3 of nitrate, respectively.

The aim of the research was to determine the direction of changes in the community Rubus hirtus-Abies alba community in the vicinity of forest where forest management treatments are applied.. It was recorded that total number of species increased from 52 in 2000 to 80 in 2011. The DCA showed significant changes in species composition and cover of species. Among others, the increase of forest edge species (epilobisation) and ruderal species (therophytization) and first of all the increase of meadow was observed. The structure of the community also changed; the mean cover of shrub species decreased.

Two methods were compared: Braun-Blanquet scale and point method using Levy bridge. A group of students performed measurements in five plots belonged to an oak-hornbeam forest Tilio-Carpinetum. It was revealed that there is a very high discrepancy in a observed number of species. Total mean numbers obtained are 13.4 and 31.2 for point method and Braun-Blanquet method respectively. However, there is the significant positive and medium correlation between two methods in terms of estimation of abundance of species. It can be concluded that point-method is not suitable for study of forest floor vegetation. It can be merged with other methods. Due to many repetitive measures, it can be helpful in learning of recognition of species.

Analyzed anthropogenic habitats are situated in Międzyrzecze and Nieboczowy (Silesian Province, Southhern Poland). They have been previously subjected to reclamation treatment, consisting in installation of wool and synthetic geotextiles in the ground. The studies on plant community were conducted according to commonly applied Braun-Blanquet approach. Recorded phytocenosis were classified into Molinio-Arrhenatheretea R. Tx.1937 and Stellarietea mediae R. Tx., Lohm. et Prsg.1950 class. For comparison of plant patches growing on two variants of geotextiles Hierarchical Cluster Analysis was used. Moreover, the number of species (S), Shannon-Wiener index (H), evenness index (J) and average heights of herbal layer were calculated. It has been shown, that the type of geotextiles has a slight influence on the variability of investigated plant patches. However, relatively high differences in total coverage and mean height of herbal layer between plots protected and unprotected were observed. It shows that the geotextiles support the process of natural ecological succession on habitats with high inclination, mainly through water retention and reduction of erosion.

One of the methods that can prevent their degradation and reclaim them is the use of geotextiles. An environmentally friendly option is using geotextiles that are produced from reclaimed fibres. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of the mechanical and chemical properties of geotextiles, namely, ropes and fibres (containing wool and polypropylene), not only on the rate of the greening of slopes but also on the species composition of vegetation. We studied the floristic composition, species diversity, species growth and soil properties of four sites of reclaimed slopes on which 46 study plots (5 m × 5 m) were laid out. We found that some species were more confined to a higher content of wool and that other species were more confined to the content of polypropylene. Both materials caused a decrease in the Shannon–Wiener div...

Pomimo wielu zalet jakie ona niewątpliwie posiada (prostota, szybkość wykonania, niski koszt) czasami jest oceniana jako mało obiektywna. Celem niniejszej pracy jest analiza porównawcza wyników oceny ilościowości gatunków oraz zwarcia koron drzew metodą szacunkową z wynikami uzyskanymi za pomocą metody punktowej i kanopiskopu (ang. canopy – scope, Brown i in. 2000). Materiał i metody Dane do analizy zgromadzono w trakcie zajęć terenowych z przedmiotu biocenologia prowadzonych dla studentów II roku studiów dziennych na kierunkach Ochrona Środowiska oraz Inżynieria Środowiska ATH w Bielsku-Białej w Szymbarku koło Gorlic (Beskid Niski) w maju 2011 r. Materiałem badawczym jest 5 zdjęć fitosocjologicznych wykonanych w płacie grądu subkontynentalnego Tilio-Carpinetum położonym w zlewni potoku Bystrzanka powszechnie przyjętą metodą Braun-Blanqueta. Na każdej z wyznaczonych powierzchni zdjęcia umieszczono przyrząd Levy'ego w dziesięciu losowo wybranych punktach i dokonano spisu gatunków runa dotkniętych przez drut w kolejnych otworach przyrządu, notując jednocześnie ile razy i w jakiej kolejności został dotknięty każdy z gatunków. Pokrycie warstwy koron drzew na wyznaczonych powierzchniach zmierzono za pomocą kanopiskopu i tradycyjną metodą oszacowania zwarcia. Analiza statystyczna Wartości uzyskane w metodach szacunkowych (zwarcie drzewostanu w skali procentowej) oraz pokrycie gatunków w skali Braun-Blanqueta oraz odpowiadającym im metodom punktowym tj. pomiar z kanopiskopu oraz frekwencja gatunków, zmierzona za pomocą przyrządu Levy'ego została, skorelowana przy użyciu testu korelacji sumy rang Spearmana. W przypadku testowania metody oceny pokrycia gatunków za pomocą przyrządu Levy'ego a porównanie dokonano jedynie dla gatunków wspólnych. Porównano również łączny udział gatunków wyłącznych, wspólnych i łącznych odnotowanych za pomocą metody fitosocjologicznej oraz metody punktowej przy pomocy testu χ2 Pearsona.
