Abstract:
... Urban areas are anthropogenic sources of particulate matter emissions and gaseous pollutants, which can have negative impacts on human health and life. In this study, we examined an area of 0.42 km²in the city center of Łódź/central Poland (Central-Eastern Europe), to identify the likely sources of pollutant emissions. Field measurements were conducted in 2021. The analyzed area consists primarily ...

Abstract:
... Although multiple Mesolithic cave sites have been recognised in Europe, the use of such sites by Early Holocene hunter gatherers was extremely scarce north of the Carpathians. Single Mesolithic artefacts have been found thus far only in six cave sites in Poland. The rich Early Mesolithic assemblage found in Bramka Rockshelter in southern Poland seems to be quite extraordinary in such a context. Th ...

Abstract:
... Energy storage is essential for the successful transformation of the existing power system to one based on variable renewable energy sources. The portfolio of existing possible storage technologies at a given location within the power system is often severely constrained by a multitude of factors. Therefore, there is a need to explore the potential of thus-far neglected and uncharted territories. ...

Abstract:
... The variability in the emergence process of different populations was confirmed for two Echinochloa crus‐galli populations, one from Italy (IT) and the second from Norway (NO). Seeds were sown in 12 localities over Europe and the Middle East, and the emergence patterns of IT and NO were compared with those of several local populations at each location. Seeds of each population were sown in pots bu ...

However, there is still a need to develop these methods and to find new procedures that can be used in estimating simple distributions in controlled catchments. The aim of the study is a comparison of three-parameter distributions in control ...

Abstract:
... Weather conditions are recognized as one of key determinants of animal reproductive performance; however, the effect of weather on breeding success can be modulated by different features of breeding habitat. Constantly expanding urban areas cause significant changes in land cover and environmental conditions, but whether and how urban landscape mitigates weather impact on animal fitness remains li ...
