The chemical weathering indices in different fluvial systems in Poland are determined, to indicate which factors affect small-scale chemical weathering processes to the greatest degree. The Weathering Index of Parker (WIP), Vogt’s Residual Index (V), the Chemical Index of Alteration (CIA), Harnois’s Chemical Index of Weathering (CIW), and the Plagi...
The aim of the research was to assess the quality of topsoils and stream sediments in the districts of the Katowice City of southern Poland in the Upper Silesian Industrial Agglomeration, influenced primarily by the exploitation of hard coal deposits and metallurgy. The task was carried out using indicators used to assess anthropogenic soil contami...
Human–environment interactions relating to changes in the hydrological system of the Upper Vistula valley are poorly understood. This valley lies in the foreland of the Transcarpathian transition, an area in Central Europe, which is crucial for the migration of people. Using palaeobotanical and geochemical analyses, archaeological data, and data on...
Purpose
The analysis of n -alkanes in palaeoenvironmental studies of peatlands is mainly limited to ombrogenous peatlands which are a rare feature in the environment. Using n -alkane and plant macrofossil analysis, we have tracked changes in the environment in the valley of a large Central European river. We tested the possibilities for applying su...
The chalcocite group minerals are widely distributed among different hydrothermally affected rocks, the oxidized zone of copper sulfide deposits, or may be even crystalline from supersaturated volcanic gases. Some of the chalcocite group minerals form the main Cu orebodies. Djurleite (Cu31S16) is a rare member of the chalcocite group, with a very c...
This research was conducted on an area of inland sands characterised by various degrees of overgrowth by vegetation and soil stabilisation. This landscape’s origin is not natural but is connected to human industrial activities dating from early medieval times, which created a powerful centre for mining and metallurgy. This study aims to identify th...
Peat sediments represent important environmental and climatic archives, as well as recording information on the processes affecting the formation of these deposits; combined these data can be used for paleoreconstruction of peat-bogs. In this paper we characterize heavy mineral-rich sandy layers from two peat-bog sites in Mizerów and Strumień (Pola...
Torfowisko " Zapadź " jest jednym z unikatowych siedlisk mokradłowych województwa śląskiego, co skutkowało włączeniem go do sieci obszarów Natura 2000. Wyjątkowość flory-styczna oraz niewielka wiedza paleobotanicza na jego temat przyczyniła do podjęcia ba-dań terenowych tego typu. Omawiany zbiornik znajduje się w miejscowości Góra (południowa Polsk...
Adaptacje środowiskowe mięczaków doprowadziły do wykształcenia u nich biomineralnego egzoszkieletu – muszli. Jej głównym składnikiem jest stosunkowo kruchy węglan wapnia (CaCO3) występujący pod postacią aragonitu i/lub kalcytu. Część mineralna wraz z matrycą organiczną tworzy różnorodne typy mikrostruktur, które to cechują się różną wytrzymałością...

Statystyka to dziedzina nauki, której głównym przedmiotem zainteresowania są metody pozyskiwania, prezentacji, a przede wszystkim analizy danych opisujących zjawiska ilościowe występujące w otaczającym nas świecie. Dzieli się ona na dwa główne nurty, czyli statystykę opisową zajmującą się metodami opisu danych statystycznych uzyskanych podczas bada...
In this paper we document Late Jurassic (Oxfordian) fauna found in neptunian dikes in southern Poland (Wysoka Quarry). Among documented taxa, autochthonous cyrtocrinid crinoids belonging to Eugeniacrinites and represented by in-situ preserved holdfasts associated with well-preserved and articulated cups, and stem parts were recorded. Other elements...
The study presents results of phytosociological and physicochemical investigation on habitat reserve " Rotuz " , southern Poland. This paper is also focused on palaeobotanical analysis of peatbog from the study area. The field work was carried out in 2011–2012 revealed five different plant communities, which are part of two phytosociological classe...

Peat bog deposits provide a very important record of past environmental conditions, preserving biotic and abiotic processes that occurred in the vicinity of the bog. In this study, we examined three peat bog profiles from Kietrz, located in the micro-region of the Głubczycki Plateau, southern Poland.
The objective of this study was to determine the...
Peats as biogenic sediments are one of the most heterogeneous deposits due to their physical and chemical properties. The study focused on mineral distribution in selected peat profiles, a feature which depends on many geochemical factors. The sampling area is the peat bog in Kietrz in southern Poland (50˚04'37.2 " N, 18˚02'44 " E), in the mesoregi...

Palaeontological fieldwork (2012-14) in the Sadowa Góra quarry carried out under the auspices of the University of Silesia, within the framework of a research project supported by the National Science Centre, helped to document the taxonomic diversity of Middle Triassic marine vertebrates from the Cracow-Silesia region. Accumulations of fossil bone...
