Forests of the Carpathians are of increasing research interest, as they cover a large area (>
9 Mha) within European forests and are influenced by diverse environmental conditions and …

This paper provides an introduction to Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and how
they can be used. It reviews the current state of GIS use in health care before identifying the …

Ring-width chronologies of Picea abies (L.) Karst. from ten sites in the Tatra Mountains,
Poland, were developed to explore growth/climate responses in stands along an altitudinal …

Current understanding of atmospheric transport of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
is limited in alpine areas due to complex meteorology and topography. To better understand …

Growth rates of European silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) rapidly increased in the last century. At
the same time, ring widths declined at the species southern distribution limits in the …

Understanding the potential of forest ecosystems as global carbon sinks requires a thorough
knowledge of forest carbon dynamics, including both sequestration and fluxes among …

The main objective of this study was to determine the content, mobility, and the variability of
concentration of zinc, lead, and cadmium in soils from the Gorce Mountains (south Poland) …

Tree mortality caused by bark beetle infestation has significant effects on the ecology and
value of both natural and commercial forests. Therefore, prediction of bark beetle …

The focus of this review is on how plants respond to combinations of multiple air pollutants.
Global pollution trends, plant physiological responses and ecological perspectives in natural …

Changes to vegetation and soil were assessed in primeval forests of the Eastern
Carpathians after a period of 59–68years. We hypothesized that forest ecosystems were …
