A balance must be achieved between investment sites and naturally active areas in order to shape the urban environment. In the public city, green spaces represent an indisputable element and are essential. An urban greenery plan is an essential component of a city's economic development. In recent years, spatial planning has been gaining government attention, particularly green development. Responsible management of these spaces is essential. However, urban foliage management appears to be a challenge for local authorities. In a spatial development plan, new greenery may be created, destroyed green spaces should be renovated, or brownfields must be repurposed. The purpose of this paper is to present a coherent concept for reclaiming the estate in Krakow, focusing especially on landscaping the Riverside Park. The design will create a friendly space that can be used by residents for rest and meetings, as well as enhance aesthetics and quality of life. Parks and community gardens are listed as strategic components for equipping the city with public spaces for meetings and recreation as well as other activities.","PeriodicalId":33912,"journal":{"name":"Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis Studia Naturae","volume":"67 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72488929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After the opening remarks, some information about fire’s influence on vegetation is given, with a quotation of papers connected with the area of investigations, as well as the author’s and Jan Kornaś’s publications. Those texts are followed by a short description of the geographical conditions in the region taken into account, of the studied plots, and information about the methods of investigations. Subsequently, there is a list of noticed species, with short descriptions and some pictures. Phytosociological data are presented in tables. The following chapters contain the joint characteristic of the studied vegetation: data about its floristic composition, phenology, and morphology of species. The Raunkiaer’s plant classification is considered here; afterward data on the water content in some roots and rhizomes are presented. The next chapter contains the description of common features of vegetation on the studied plots. Thereafter may be found information about the pyrophytic plant species noticed elsewhere in Zambia. In the discussion publications supplementing the author’s study are mentioned. Further, more detailed descriptions of the features of fire, its occurrence in nature, distribution, and structure of savannas are included. Plant regeneration on the burned plots, the usefulness of Raunkiaer’s classification in the tropics, and problems of evolution of pyrophytes are presented. There is also some evidence of phytosociological studies in Africa and proposals for the establishment of a new association Hyparrhenio-Gardenietum. In the end, some conceptions concerning the rational use of fire, particularly in nature conservation, are mentioned, as well as arguments for the protection of pyrophytic species.","PeriodicalId":33912,"journal":{"name":"Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis Studia Naturae","volume":"86 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76978314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their allelopathic activity on Baltic cyanobacteria is still insufficiently recognised. Therefore, this study aimed to demonstrate the allelopathic effects of Baltic macroalga thallus (Ulva intestinalis) on the growth and photosynthetic activity of three bloom-forming cyanobacteria: Aphanizomenon sp., Nodularia spumigena, and Nostoc sp. This study investigated the cell count of the analysed cyanobacteria (N 105 mL-1), the maximum quantum yield of the second photosystem (PSII) in the dark (Fv/Fm), and the real quantum yield of PSII in the light (ΦPSII) (in the control and the experiments). After 7 days of exposure, the following were added: 0.01, 0.05, and 0.1 g mL-1 of U. intestinalis fresh thallus. It was found that thallus obtained from U. intestinalis had no statistically significant effect on the number of cells of the cyanobacterium Aphanizomenon sp. (at 0.05 and 0.1 g mL-1) and Nostoc sp. (at concentrations of 0.01 and 0.05 g mL−1). On the other hand, it was examined a stimulating effect of 0.01 g mL-1 of the fresh thallus on the number of Aphanizomenon sp. cells which constituted 168%, relative to the control. It was shown that the fresh thallus addition resulted in a decrease in the number of N. spumigena cells (45%, 27%, and 46% after addition of 0.01, 0.05, and 0.1 g wet weight mL−1 of fresh thallus, respectively). In experiments with Nostoc sp., the addition of U. intestinalis thallus has been a negative effect on cyanobacterial growth at 0.1 g mL−1 and constituted 97% of control. It was also found, that U. intestinalis had no allelopathic effect on fluorescence parameters of N. spumigena. All tested concentrations of thallus U. intestinalis (0.01, 0.05, and 0.1 g wet weight mL-1) stimulated the values of Fv/Fm or ΦPSII of cyanobacteria Aphanizomenon sp. and Nostoc sp. compared to the control. These studies help define the role of U. intestinalis allelopathy as a biological factor in the distribution of bloom-forming cyanobacteria in the coastal Baltic Sea region.","PeriodicalId":33912,"journal":{"name":"Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis Studia Naturae","volume":"76 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82294404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
