The paper presents trends in average annual soil moisture in the area covered by the sixty-year old pine stand. The area of analysis is located in the Tuczno Forest District, the Martew Forestry, in the north-western part of Poland. The calculations were based on the measurements of soil moisture at seven different depths below the ground level. A set of probes was installed for measuring the moisture using TDR method in order to calculate retention changes in the unsaturated zone. Humidity measurements used in this work were carried out at daily intervals throughout the year 2014. Designated trends were analysed using the non-parametric Mann – Kendall test, which is used for detecting trend of hydrological and meteorological parameters. Negative values of the Mann-Kendall statistics point to a declining trend for most – six out of the seven, analysed levels of measurement. The tendency toward dryness was not confirmed by the data set of precipitations. Although precipitations are considered to be the main driver of variations in soil moisture their impact severity seems to be controlled by other characteristics of the catchment area and components of the water balance, such as evapotranspiration.

One of the way of carbon dioxide sequestration is concrete carbonation process. In this paper an assessment of the CO absorption abilities of the recycled concrete aggregates is presented. Analyses have been carried out both with an accelerated method, wherein the concrete aggregates placed in closed chambers under controlled conditions were exposed to the air composed of 8% CO2, and at the ambient atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration. This is the first innovative study where the intensity of the carbonation process was assessed at the ambient CO2, concentration level by means of the closed dynamic chamber technique which is commonly applied in studies of greenhouse gases exchange between the ecosystem and the atmosphere. The recycled aggregates made from concretes with different water to cement ratio (0.40, 0.50, 0.55 and 0.65) and grain sizes (2/4, 6/8, 12/16 and 4/6, 8/12, 12/16 mm) were tested in our study. The results confirmed that carbonation rate increases with increasing water to cement ratio, whereas decreases with an increase of the aggregates fraction size. As determined by measurements carried out with the closed dynamic chamber system, the recycled concrete aggregates absorbed from 1.48 to 3.56 mg kg-1 s-1 of CO2, at the ambient carbon dioxide concentration level dependently on the aggregates characteristics.

Assessment of the ecosystem productivity in relation to the amount of water used for such kind of processes have already been investigated for the different ecosystem types by many researchers. Water Use Efficiency (WUE) parameter shows seasonal variation due to changing weather conditions, which determine processes of photosynthesis, respiration and evapotranspiration, and because of biological factors variability. The analysis of the WUE dynamics in the forest ecosystem in Tuczno research station over the hydrological year 2012 were presented in the paper. WUE was calculated based on the daily CO2 and H CO2 O fluxes measured by means of the eddy covariance system (EC) installed over the forest canopy. The fluxes were quality checked in relation to the wind direction, friction velocity values and stationary. The data series used in this investigation were not gap-filled. By using the net value of both fluxes, a good indicator which describe the behavior of the ecosystem as the whole, was obtained. Among a number of weather condition factors, that affect the value of the tested indicator (WUE), mainly photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) and the air temperature were evaluated. Separate analysis has been done for daily courses of both CO2 and H2 O fluxes, as well as for WUE for each month of the analyzed period. The highest values of H2 O fluxes (FH) were observed in May and June (0.25 and 0.3 kg m-2s-1) and the lowest in the period from September to December (0.02–0.05 kg m-2s-1). The daily courses of water vapor fluxes revealed dependence to the measured PPFD fluxes, which determines in turn the intensity of the evapotranspiration process. The time courses of the daily 30-min average carbon dioxide fluxes (FC) were also highly variable in each month, similarly to the variances of the FH fluxes. The lowest values of the net F COC were measured in the period from October to December (net CO2 fluxes did not exceed 0.55g m-2 s-1), while in the period from April to July the net ecosystem productivity was the biggest (1.5–2.0 m-2s-1),). WUE reached its minimum in May (7 g [CO2] kg-1), [H2O]), what indicates that the evapotranspiration of the ecosystem was the least effective from the point of view of COCOD absorption from the atmosphere (the ecosystem had a high productivity but it lost a great amount of water at the same time). In contrary, higher WUE values were observed in the colder period of the year, when the amount of available radiant energy was limited. WUE reached its peak in September (nearly 45 g of [CO2] kg-1), [H2O] ) which reveals, that in autumn the decline of evapotranspiration rates were higher than rates of the net CO2 exchange decrease. It also highlights the high adaptability of Scots pine (main species in studied forest ecosystem – 99%), to described conditions. The designated water use efficiency (WUE) parameter, may be used as a good indicator of the current condition of the ecosystem.
