The conducted research aimed at establishing the pace and range of the formation of spruce windfall in Compartment 93 of the Babia Góra National Park, where in 2005 by the decision of the Park’s Director, with the approval of the Scientific Council of the Park, a monitoring area was created. During field work the range of the existing windfall area was mapped through determining its outermost points and their stabilization by means of the GPS. During the research an analysis of the aerial photographs made available by the Babia Góra National Park was carried out, in order to determine the changes in the range of the area deprived of trees. The analyzed photographs covered the area of 5 ha in Compartment 93 of the Park. The evaluation of changes in the tree layer was based on the graticule reproducing the 10 x 10 m area of the real land. The “lack of trees” was stated when the areas were exposed in at least 75%. The comparative analysis of the images from aerial photographs of Compartment 93 in 2003, 2011, 2012 and 2014 showed distinct changes in the range and size of the gaps made by fallen trees. The share of the gaps in the forest stand in the whole analyzed area increased from 2% in 2003 to over 52% in 2014. Therefore, the progression of the size of the changes is considerable and the disintegration of the tree layer is growing, especially comparing the 2003–2011 and the twice shorter 2011–2014 periods. In the analyzed periods, the increase in the gap area was similar (ca. 26%), yet the pace of the phenomenon was twice faster. The obtained results were an argument in favor of increasing the monitoring area from 0.28 ha to 1.55 ha.

The article presents the changes in the values of average air temperature and its spatial diversity in the four seasons of the year (spring, summer, autumn, winter) in the years 1981–2010 compared with the 1971–2000 period. In the 1981–2010 period (the new climate normal currently in force) the largest increase in air temperature expressed in the average area value occurred in summer and reached 0.5°C. In spring and autumn the increase in average air temperature was smaller and was 0.4°C and 0.3°C respectively; in winter average temperature did not change compared with the previous climate normal.

The development of vegetation in lotic waters, including macrophytes, is determined by diverse factors, including bottom substrate, flow velocity, and the width and depth of a channel, which are hydromorphological parameters. Macrophytes are higher plants of terrestrial origin which have undergone numerous adaptations enabling them to live in water (Stańczykowska, 1975). The aim of the study was to assess the effect of selected hydromorphological parameters of a watercourse on the species composition of macrophytes. The subject of the study was the Chechło River, a left tributary of the Vistula. The study was carried out in two adjacent segments of the watercourse, according to guidelines in the Macrophyte Index for Rivers (MMOR) and elements of the River Habitat Survey (RHS). The study revealed similar hydromorphological conditions in the two segments of the river, and the variation in the species composition of macrophytes in the two segments seems to be determined by other factors which were not the subject of the study. Among these, significant factors might include regulation works or the high water levels in the Chechło resulting from the construction of an impoundment. The plants identified in the two segments of the watercourse are species occurring commonly in Poland, preferring eutrophic waters and having a wide ecological tolerance.

W pracy przeanalizowano zmiany czasu trwania meteorologicznego okresu wegetacyjnego w Polsce w trzydziestoleciu 1981–2010 w porównaniu z okresem 1971–2000. Wykorzystano dane meteorologiczne dotyczące średnich miesięcznych wartości temperatury powietrza z 53 stacji meteorologicznych rozmieszczonych równomiernie na obszarze Polski. Wykazano, że czas trwania meteorologicznego okresu wegetacyjnego w latach 1981–2010 wydłużył się średnio o 4 dni w stosunku do okresu 1971–2000.

In this paper, changes in the duration of the meteorological vegetation period in Poland were analyzed for the three decade period: 1981–2010 as compared to the 1971–2000 period. The meteorological data regarding the monthly mean air temperature values from 53 weather stations distributed evenly across Poland were used. It was proved that the meteorological vegetation period in the years 1981–2010 increased by four days on average, as compared to the 1971–2000 period.
