Dormice monitoring was carried out between 2014 and 2019 at 14 areas located in various regions of the Tatra National Park Poland. The were habitats: beech forests spruce low mountain zone; forests, windbreaks pine (Pinus mugo) thickets high zone. choice area for resulted from habitat type technical possibilities enabling regular inspections. Each equipped with 30 nest boxes dedicated to dormic...

BACKGROUND The often dramatic effects of urbanization on community and ecosystem properties, such as primary productivity, abundances, and diversity are now well-established. In most cities local primary productivity increases and this extra energy flows upwards to alter diversity and relative abundances in higher trophic levels. The abiotic mechanisms thought to be responsible for increases in...

A large-eddy simulation has been performed of turbulent flow around multiple windbreaks set within a wheat canopy under neutral stability conditions. The simulation is validated against a wind tunnel data set taken under similar conditions. Velocity profiles and second-order statistics are presented and compared to those found in the wind tunnel. From the numerical simulation, we discuss spatia...
