We invite you to listen to Dr. Marzenna Guzicka’s lecture entitled “Dormancy of tree buds in the age of climate change”.
The development of trees in temperate climates is synchronized with the course of the seasons. After the spring-summer period of activity comes the period of dormancy, which allows them to survive the unfavorable autumn-winter conditions. Dormancy is a very complex adaptive strategy and its obligatory stage is endodormancy. Climate change can disrupt its proper course and regulation, which can affect tree growth, reproduction and even survival.
We invite you to listen to Dr. Emilia Pers-Kamczyc’s lecture entitled “Nitrogen deposition and biodiversity.”
Global population growth and changing life patterns are causing, among other things, an increase in the consumption of fossil fuels and an increase in the food demand. These processes lead to an increase in the amount of nitrogen (N) released into the environment, and consequently disrupt its natural circulation in nature. Nitrogen accumulation disrupts the stability and functioning of ecosystems and can contribute to changes in the patterns of many species. Thus, nitrogen deposition is becoming one of the most important global environmental problems.
We invite you to listen to Dr. Kinga Nowak’s lecture entitled “(Bio)Diversity of botanical gardens.”
Botanical gardens perform a number of important functions, both for the scientific world and for the society at large. They provide a site for experimentation and research, a place for education, but also for rest and recreation. They are open to the needs of all, regardless of age, and it is up to us alone how we use them. We encourage you to watch the video, in which we will talk about the role of botanical gardens and their importance for biodiversity in light of ongoing climate change.
We invite you to listen to Mr. Dawid Adamczyk’s, M.Sc., lecture entitled “Temperature changes and their impact on insects.”
Insects have mastered all environments: land, water and air, long before the appearance of man on Earth. With the increase in temperature, some species can populate an area where they did not previously exist, increase the number of generations per year, or expand their feeding preferences with new plant species. However, changes can also lead to the disappearance of insects in given ecological niches through unfavorable thermal conditions for them and their food plants.
We invite you to listen to Dr. Mateusz Rawlik’s lecture entitled “Post-mining sites: from devastation to natural wealth”.
Open-pit mining of raw materials is associated with extensive changes to the natural environment. Forest reclamation is reduced to the introduction of tree seedlings, but the colonization of these afforestations by forest species is carried out through natural processes. The key feature that determines species richness and the circulation of matter in afforestations created by reclamation is the ability of trees to symbiotically bind atmospheric nitrogen. The vegetation of forests in post-mining areas resembles forestless areas. As time passes, these forests will become more similar to natural forests.
