Abstract

Various devices and applications are used for the rapid assessment of plant nitrogen nutrition, which give an approximate indication of leaf chlorophyll saturation by giving the relative chlorophyll content or leaf greenness intensity. In this study, chlorophyll content and leaf greenness determined by three devices were compared: SPAD-502 (spectrum technology), Hydro N-Tester, and Samsung smartphone (RGB app). Additionally, laboratory determination of chlorophyll content was compared to soil-plant analysis development (SPAD) values. Based on the results obtained, indices characterising the vegetative or direct state were calculated and the values obtained with these devices were compared. The crops tested were soya, potatoes, wheat and sunflower. The results show a close relationship between the size of the SPAD index and RGB light sources of colour the intensity of red (R), green (G) and blue (B). The indices IPCA and R+G–2B showed a very high negative correlation with SPAD readings (−0.82 and −0.83). Statistical analysis showed that SPAD readings obtained from the two chlorophyll meters showed a high correlation regardless of the crop species tested (R2 = 0.98). The correlation analysis also showed the possibility of substituting equipment and vegetation indices based on readings taken with a smartphone, with an accuracy not much inferior to standard chlorophyll meters. This situation could occur in case of failure or absence of the standard device.

Abstract

This paper presents results of the identification and assessment of relationships between river discharge dynamics and spring yield during severe hydrological drought. The study covered a weekly yield series of eight springs and the daily discharge series of river gauging stations closing catchments including these springs. The investigated area was located in the mountainous, upper reaches of the Dunajec River basin (southern Poland) and the study covered the period 1989–2018. It was assumed that river low-flow is a good indicator of hydrological drought development. Severe streamflow droughts were estimated on the basis of the threshold level method (TLM) at a truncation level of 95% on the flow duration curve (FDC). Spring yield droughts were identified in the same way, however, there were three variants of truncation criteria. Synchronicity between both types of droughts was assessed on the basis of a co- occurrence ratio. To achieve the best fit criteria analysis, time shift steps of the spring yield series in relation to the river discharge series were conducted both for individual springs and for the whole investigated group. The best results of drought co-occurrence were achieved for the spring threshold at a multiannual average yield value, especially in backward and zero time shifts for fissure springs placed in relatively small catchments. Analysis of the course of relative spring drought intensity in following time shifts allowed an indication of the typical behaviours of the aquifer spring regime in relation to hydrological drought development.

Abstract

Retreat of glaciers and partial melting of permafrost moraines recorded since the 1970s, led to the formation and rapid accumulation of glacial-moraine lakes in Ile Alatau, Kazakhstan. For its part, there was a necessity to analyse hydrometeorological and morphometric data on the current state and temporal changes of moraine lakes. Maps provided comprehensive information about the state of moraine-glacial lakes to prevent and protect objects from the negative effects of mudflow hazards. In this regard, the purpose of the article is to prepare a systematic inventory as a result of the study, compare and analyse the changes and evolution of the lakes. The findings of this study show that the total number of moraine lakes increased over the study period from 20 in 1978 to 77 in 2021. It is visible that the glacial-moraine lakes are increasing in number and area, thereby posing possible mudflow hazards to the densely populated downstream land. The study on glacial-moraine lakes in the Ile Alatau region has practical value in several areas: it helps assess the risks of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) and enables authorities to develop effective strategies for disaster management; it informs planners and developers about potential hazards; it provides valuable information for protecting sensitive ecosystems and maintaining the ecological balance of mountainous regions.

Abstract

The article presents the spatio-temporal variability of the pluvial conditions in the West Pomeranian province in Poland as per 21 poviats1. The basic data for the study were monthly precipitation totals and maximum 24-hour period total for each month, obtained from 49 stations of the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management National Research Institute in 1991–2020. It was found that area averaged highest values of precipitation, on average, ranging from 71 to 100 mm, were recorded in July (with the exception of the Kołobrzeg and Sławno poviats), and the lowest, ranging from 29–38 mm, were recorded in April. Precipitation in the warm half-year (April–September), depending on a given poviat, ranged from 317 to 444 mm, which constitutes 52–58% of the annual total. Even higher variability was found with respect to the cold half-year (October–March) characterised by precipitation totals within the range of 234–404 mm. In the analysed multi-year period, statistically significant monthly precipitation totals were found only on several occasions: a positive trend was observed in January in the Kołobrzeg poviat, in July in Koszalin and Szczecinek poviats and in October in Myślibórz and Kołobrzeg poviats. The only instance of a marked decrease in monthly precipitation was identified for June in the Kamień Pomorski poviat. In all poviats of the voivodeship, there were nonsignificant tendency of an increase in precipitation in the cold half-year and reduction of the predominance of precipitation in the warm half-year over cold half-year.

Abstract

A subsidised fertiliser policy is a clear option to increase rice production and maintain farmer benefits. It has proven to be costly and hence needs to be effectively calculated. This research proposes the use of advanced multi- disciplinary techniques to precisely estimate annual fertiliser demands for food production, based on the local field conditions and crop characteristics. Time-series satellite imageries (Landsat 8 Surface Reflectance of Operational Land Imager) were analysed to identify the annual cropping patterns, delineate agricultural field boundaries, and estimate land area. Monitoring and data collection on cropping patterns were conducted using normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) data. The corrected rice field maps and cropping patterns were validated through field inspections. Subsequently, soil sampling and analysis were performed to determine precise fertiliser doses for each crop during each planting season. Finally, a fertiliser demand allocation map was created to inspect the results visually. A case study conducted in Jombang Regency, East Java Province, Indonesia, highlighted a gap of approximately 5.91 Mg urea and 1.02 Mg NPK in fertiliser demand measured using this study method as compared to the current subsidised fertiliser allocation. This gap could lead to an ineffective use of the fertiliser subsidy budget, which could jeopardise achieving the national food production target. Therefore, this study urges government stakeholders to implement the proposed method to maintain national food security in the country.

Abstract

The gastronomic industry generates by-products, which could be used as insect feed. The objective of the experiment was to determine the potential of utilising post-gastronomic plant and animal products as a feed source for mealworm larvae. The insects were fed diets comprising of varying proportions of plant or animal fractions. The control group (Ctrl) received oatmeal with apples, while the experimental groups received oatmeal mixed with different proportions of the plant and meat fractions of restaurant leftovers. The plant fraction was incorporated into feed at 25, 50, and 75% (groups R25, R50 and R75), while the meat fraction was mixed at 25 and 50% (groups M25 and M50). The experiment lasted 48 days. The highest dry matter (DM) intake was observed in the M25 and R75 groups. Larvae in the experimental groups exhibited higher final body mass and total mass gain compared to the Ctrl group (p < 0.01). The survivability of larvae in the R50 and M25 groups was significantly higher than the Ctrl group (p < 0.01), while the lowest survivability was observed in the R25 group. The lowest feed conversion ratio (FCR) for dry matter was observed in the R50 and M50 groups, while the highest FCR was recorded in the M25 and Ctrl groups. The highest dry matter levels, crude protein, and crude fat were found in the M25 and groups (p < 0.01). Groups R25 and Ctrl exhibited the highest content of crude ash (p < 0.05). This suggests that mealworm larvae could be one of the potential solutions for the disposal of gastronomic by-products.

Abstract

Al-Hoceima Bay, located on the northern coast of Morocco, holds significant environmental importance. It also faces environmental challenges, including the pressures resulting from urban sprawl and growing number of tourists, as well as the impacts of climate change. The objective of this study is to assess the coastal changes in Al- Hoceima Bay since 1964, considering both natural and human factors. This study is based on the diachronic analysis of aerial photographs taken over a period of 56 years, utilising the digital shoreline analysis system statistical technique to calculate the shoreline’s mobility index for each period. The results demonstrate significant erosion at the Tayth beach (−1.50 m∙y−1) and Souani beach (approximately −1.90 m∙y−1), whereas accretion was experienced at the Sfiha beach at a rate of about +1.11 m∙y−1 and at the Lharch beach at a rate of +0.92 m∙y−1. The mouth of the Nekôr River experienced the highest retreat at −3.15 m∙y−1, followed by Ghiss at −2.00 m∙y−1. These findings indicate the impact of human interventions, such as the construction of the Mohamed Ben Abdelkarim El Khattabi dam on Oued Nekôr since 1981, as well as climate changes that have led to decreased flow, particularly at Oued Ghiss. These combined climatic and anthropogenic impacts have exacerbated erosion and disrupted the sediment balance along the shoreline of Al-Hoceima Bay.

Abstract

The east coast of North Kalimantan Province, Indonesia, from the northern border with Sabah, Malaysia, to the south, consists of a series of estuarine landscapes in the north and a delta in the south. Landsat imagery acquired in 1995 shows that there are 150,869 ha of pristine mangrove forest and 14,456 ha of ponds. The mangrove mapping uses the automatic mangrove map and index (AMMI). For ponds mapping, we have introduced the automatic shoreline map (ASM) index, automatic mapping of water body including the shoreline, ponds and rivers. Landsat image from 2000 shows that the mangrove area has decreased to 100,016 ha, while the pond area increased to 27,903 ha. Landsat image from 2010 shows that the mangrove area was 106,867 ha, while the pond area increased to 74,270.2 ha. Landsat imagery from 2022 shows that the remaining mangrove area was 108,187 ha, while the pond area increased further to 84,182 ha. Mangrove decline was extreme from 1995 to 2000, coinciding with Indonesia’s currency crisis. Currency devaluation encouraged local communities and entrepreneurs to create export commodities, with shrimp exports being one of the most promising. To maintain the presence of mangroves, the government implemented a silvo-fishery policy, while farming, it was also restoring mangroves. This paper introduces the fusion of two indices that automatically map mangrove environments to inform multi-temporal changes of mangroves, ponds, and shorelines based on Landsat imagery more accurately, faster, and with lower cost and labour.

Abstract

The livelihoods of households affected by land acquisition in rural Vietnam are crucial for sustainable development and community resilience. This study employs the sustainable livelihoods approach, which recognises the interconnectedness between various factors shaping livelihood outcomes, to investigate factors behind livelihood changes among 474 farm households affected by land acquisition in rural Vietnam. By applying Multinomial Logit (MNL) regression, this paper delves into how personal and household characteristics influence the transition from farming to non-farming activities in agrarian settings. Our findings reveal the diverse and multifaceted impacts of various factors such as gender, age, educational level, household size, household labour force, and the extent of land loss on livelihood strategy choices. This study offers nuanced insights that can guide policymakers and practitioners to design effective interventions that promote sustainable livelihoods and enhance community resilience amidst the challenges posed by land acquisition and rural transformation.

Abstract

The study investigates the effects of temperature and residence time on the energy density of kesambi leaves through experimental torrefaction, proximate analysis, and response surface methodology with a central composite design (RSM-CCD). The torrefaction process enhances the energy density of kesambi leaves by increasing fixed carbon content while reducing volatile matter. The RSM-CCD models developed in this research are both statistically significant and exhibit robust predictive accuracy for estimating higher heating value (HHV), providing valuable insights into optimal torrefaction conditions. Surface plots effectively illustrate the relationships between HHV, temperature, and residence time, enabling the identification of ideal process parameters. Additionally, a desirability analysis reveals opportunities to enhance correlations between HHV and key measured properties, such as moisture content, ash, and volatile matter. This research makes a significant contribution to understanding and optimising the torrefaction process for kesambi leaves, with practical implications for improving energy density and advancing the development of sustainable biofuel sources. By offering a novel approach to predicting HHV in kesambi leaf-based biofuels, the findings highlight the potential for optimising torrefaction processes to enhance the viability of renewable energy resources. Further research is suggested to refine these predictive models and explore additional factors influencing HHV, aiming to bolster the production of sustainable biofuels.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of improving the state of hardwood meadows using two methods of overseeding: strip-till and disc seeding (Vredo), with mixtures of grass and legume seeds under diverse pluvial and thermal conditions in eastern and central Poland. The field experiments were conducted in three farms: Zimna Woda (experiment I), Racibory (experiment II), and Ranna (experiment III). The measures to improve permanent grassland (PG) were carried out after the second cut in 2016 and in spring 2017. The effectiveness of both methods was evaluated based on changes in the botanical composition of the sward and the yield of total protein and soluble sugars (Preś and Rogalski, 1997). Positive effects of both methods on the floristic composition were achieved in 2017 in all meadow habitats on mineral soils: brown soils formed from loamy sand (Zimna Woda), proper brown soils (Racibory) on light and medium loam, and alluvial soils on light loam (Ranna). Despite adverse pluvial and thermal conditions, both methods improved the utility value of the sward, increasing the yields of dry matter, protein, and soluble sugars in subsequent years. The study showed that improving the state of PG by overseeding with diploid and tetraploid grass varieties and legume plants is effective, with its level of effectiveness depending on the pluvial and thermal conditions after treatment.

Abstract

The aim of the study was to improve the habitat conditions in the initial development of a grass-legume mixture sown in the reconstructed river embankments along the Uszwica River in Kwików and the Vistula River in Kraków, Poland. For this purpose, after sowing the seeds, NPK fertilisation was used, along with the application of a hydrogel to limit the evaporation of water from the soil. Additionally, a non-woven fabric was used to cover the soil. The study was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, polymeric and five biodegradable non-woven fabrics were evaluated in laboratory conditions for their water absorption and retention capabilities. After this assessment, two biodegradable and one polymeric non-woven fabrics were selected for the second stage of field research. A grass- legume mixture consisting of five species of seeds: Lolium perenne L., Poa pratensis L., Festuca rubra L., Festuca arundinacea Schreb. and Trifolium repens L. was used for sowing the embankments. This study takes into account the concept of green economy aimed at addressing the challenges of securing difficult terrains, such as river embankments. The non-woven fabrics used to cover the soil had a positive effect on the initial development of plants, accelerating their emergence, and the degree of soil coverage. After two months post-sowing, the soil surface coverage under the non-woven fabrics was 50% higher compared to areas without such coverage. However, the type of non-woven fabrics and the hydrogel used did not have a significant impact on the initial development of seedlings.

Abstract

The nutritional value of green forage is a result of various pratotechnical practices, including fertilisation and harvest timing. Additionally, individual plant species present in natural grasslands may respond differently to those practices. The study aimed to investigate the effect of fertilisation type (farm yard manure (FYM) and NPK fertilisation) and the timing of the first regrowth harvest of meadow sward (ten harvest dates) on the lignin and structural carbohydrates of three dicotyledonous meadow plants: Taraxacum officinale F.H. Wigg., Achillea millefolium L. and Lotus corniculatus L. Plant material was harvested from 28 Apr until 26 Jun at 7-day intervals and analysed for cellulose (CL), hemicellulose (HCL), and acid detergent lignin (ADL). The levels of neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF), and ADL were measured using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) with a NIRFlex N-500 device. Cellulose was calculated as the difference between ADF and ADL, while HCL was calculated by subtracting ADF from NDF. T. officinale had the lowest HCL (average 65.5 g∙kg−1 DM) and ADL content (47.1 g∙kg−1 DM) while A. millefolium had the highest CL content (266.5 g∙kg−1 DM) and ADL (52.3 g∙kg−1 DM). In contrast, L. corniculatus accumulated the highest HCL (104.5 g∙kg−1 DM) and the lowest CL content (246.1 g∙kg−1 DM). An increase in all studied parameters content was observed with later harvest dates. On average, plants fertilised with FYM contained lower amounts of structural carbohydrates and ADL compared to those fertilised with NPK.

Abstract

Water pollution and scarcity are amongst the most pressing challenges affecting the water environment in the Gaza Strip. Agricultural activities play an important role in this issue, consuming more than 50% of the extracted water, while contributing to environmental degradation through the excessive use of pesticides and fertilisers. The grey water footprint (GWF) was quantified to evaluate pollution from crops using the Hoekstra methodology. The grey water totalled 30.63 mln m3

, with 51% attributed to vegetables, 44.5% to horticultural trees, and 4.5% to field crops between 2018 and 2022. An evaluation of the sustainability of the water footprint revealed that the assimilation capacity of water resources has been completely consumed. As a result, the Gaza Strip is classified as an unsustainable area, which is a serious violation of globally approved water quality standards. To optimise the grey water footprint, the nitrogen balance, N-leakage rate, and associated uncertainties were analysed using fractional programming, leading to the development of a model aimed at achieving optimal results. The findings show the importance of implementing this approach in the Gaza Strip, enabling policymakers and local authorities to develop a promising strategy for agricultural practices. This would promote sustainable and effective management of water resources and a safe and productive agricultural environment.

Abstract

Sustainable irrigation practices are critical for addressing the challenges of water scarcity and food insecurity in the face of climate change and growing global food demand. This study investigated the potential of precision irrigation (PI), deficit irrigation (DI), and drip irrigation (DRI) techniques to enhance crop productivity and water use efficiency (WUE) compared to conventional flood irrigation (CFI) in three distinct agroecological zones of Iraq. Field experiments were conducted using a randomised complete block design with wheat, maize, and rice crops. The results demonstrated that PI significantly increased crop growth parameters, grain yield, and WUE across all zones, with yield improvements of 33–38% and WUE increases of 46–51% in contrast with CFI. The DI and DRI treatments also outperformed CFI, albeit to a lesser extent. Remote sensing-derived vegetation indices strongly correlated with crop growth parameters and yield, while hydrological modelling revealed reduced evapotranspiration and surface runoff under the PI treatment. The sustainable irrigation practices resulted in substantial water savings of 20–30% compared to CFI. These findings highlight the importance of adopting efficient irrigation techniques, along with a holistic approach encompassing technological innovations, capacity building, and stakeholder engagement, to promote water- efficient agriculture and ensure food security in water-scarce regions.

Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of soil fertilising biopreparations, i.e. compost extract, vermicompost extract and humus extract, used against the background of NPK mineral fertilisation, on the content of manganese, iron, zinc and copper in the biomass of Lolium perenne, Festulolium braunii, and Dactylis glomerata. In the spring of 2019 and 2020, a single dose of the biological preparation was applied. During each vegetation period, the plants were mown three times. During mowing, fresh plant mass was taken from each plot, dried, ground and the content of Cu, Zc, Mn and Fe was determined using the ICP-AES method. The use of a biological preparation with the composition of an extract from compost significantly increased the content of Mn, Fe and Zn in the dry mass of the tested grass species. The grass species that accumulated the highest total content of microelements in its above-ground parts was Lolium perenne. The use of only biological preparations in the cultivation of the analysed grass species gave better production effects, for example in the form of a higher concentration of microelements in the dry mass of plants compared to objects fed only with minerals. This creates the possibility of using the tested biopreparations in organic farms. The Fe:Mn ionic ratio was too wide in relation to the standards on all experimental objects, which resulted from the excess of Fe in the plants. Only the combination of compost extract with mineral fertilisation narrowed the above relationship, but it was still too high.

Abstract

Climate change significantly threatens food security and the agricultural economy, particularly under rainfed conditions. This study uses the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) crop simulation model to evaluate the future suitability of growing maize and soybean in the Eastern Kansas River Basin (EKSRB) under two projected climate scenarios (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5) from 2006 to 2099. By comparing the baseline (1990–2019) and future climates, the yield gap percentage method is employed to quantify the discrepancy between actual and potential yields. This innovative approach integrates spatial soil variability and advanced climate projections from 18 global climate model (GCMs), enhancing the accuracy of crop suitability assessments. Results indicate yield losses ranging from 23% to 57% for maize and 20% to 36% for soybean, with maize experiencing a greater yield gap than soybean, highlighting soybean’s resilience under future climatic conditions. The study identifies critical regions within the EKSRB where adaptive strategies are most needed and provides insights for policymakers to develop targeted agricultural strategies, facilitate policy planning, and select mitigation strategies for vulnerable areas. This research underscores the necessity for adaptive agricultural practices to ensure food security and sustainability, offering a robust framework that can be adapted to similar regions globally.

Abstract

Post-tin mining land holds promise for cultivating forage crops, with the potential to address Pb metal contamination through plant-based phytoremediation. However, the presence of heavy metals and depleted soil fertility resulting from tin mining activities may pose challenges to plant productivity and contribute to residual heavy metal accumulation. This study aims to assess the productivity and phytoremediation capacity of Pb by various grass species on reclaimed mining land. Using a randomised block design with three replications, the study was conducted over a four-year period in a post-mining area in Central Bangka Regency, Indonesia. Three grass species: Megathyrsus maximus (‘Riversdale’ and ‘Purple guinea’), Pennisetum purpureum (‘Taiwan’ and ‘Mott’), and Chrysopogon zizanioides were evaluated for forage production, quality, digestibility, and heavy metal content. It was shown that ‘Riversdale’ and ‘Purple guinea’ cultivars had relatively stable production for over four years, with the crude protein content of all grass types remaining relatively low (<6%), apart from ‘Mott’ cultivar, which had a crude protein content of 10%. The Pb concentration in the plants remained below the permitted limits for ruminants. In the post-tin mining site, ‘Riversdale’ and ‘Purple guinea’ cultivars showed potential for development. It is concluded that mined land can be replanted with forage crops for phytoremediation purposes. ‘Purple guinea’ and ‘Riversdale’ cultivars emerge as potential livestock feed sources on ex-mining land due to their four-year productive stability and low lead (Pb) concentration in their shoots, which falls below the safe threshold for cattle.

Abstract

The necessary ecosystem services can be effectively provided through the diverse functioning and processes of ecosystems. Apart from services provided by natural and semi-natural ecosystems, the study on ecosystem development on mineral habitats, established as by-products of mining activity, have revealed surprising results. Unrecognised yet crucial ecosystem services can be provided by novel ecosystems that develop spontaneously on mineral sites created due to human activities, such as mineral mining. These mineral habitats and the ecosystems established de novo provide a wide range of ecosystem services. Modelling ecosystem functioning can simulate and predict the effects of interventions on ecosystem services provided by novel ecosystems. This approach supports adaptive management strategies that maximise desired services while minimising negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem integrity. Understanding the functioning of novel ecosystems and their ecosystem services is crucial for enhancing resilience, promoting restoration efforts, and implementing sustainable land-use practices. Recognising the importance of ecosystem services provided by novel ecosystems and involving stakeholders in decision-making processes can foster public support for conservation initiatives and promote collaboration among diverse stakeholders. This approach is particularly important given that many activities related to the re-development of post-industrial areas, especially post-mining regions, have fallen short of achieving their objectives. The essential role of ecosystem services provided by natural, semi-natural, and novel ecosystems highlights the importance of the ecosystem functioning modelling approaches. Such approaches are needed to understand and quantify these services in the context of adhering to sustainable development principles during urban development.

Abstract

The Syr Darya River’s lower reaches of floodplain geosystems face growing environmental pressures, necessitating a thorough understanding of their vulnerability on which this study focuses, emphasising the role of natural and climatic factors. The research analyses the correlations and impacts of elevation, soil density, precipitation, air temperature, and normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) on environmental vulnerability. The results indicate a strong positive correlation between elevation, precipitation, air temperature, and environmental vulnerability, with NDVI also playing a significant role. The study employs principal components analysis to further explore these relationships and generates an integrated vulnerability map, highlighting vulnerable areas, particularly near Kyzylorda city. The map also aligns with different land cover types, emphasising the dominant influence of environmental and climatic factors, especially maximum air temperature, precipitation, and elevation, on environmental vulnerability. The research concludes that the integrated vulnerability map serves as a valuable tool for guiding environmental management and conservation strategies, enabling targeted interventions and sustainable practices in areas of high vulnerability. The study’s methodology and findings offer crucial insights for effective environmental management and conservation in floodplain geosystems, promoting informed decision-making for sustainable development in the region.

Abstract

During the appearance of the first snowfall, there is a revival of discussion on effective methods of protecting road surfaces and sidewalks against icing. In Poland and many other countries, so-called road salt, mainly sodium chloride (NaCl) with additives, is often used to lower the melting point of snow and ice. Using chemicals to protect road surfaces brings many negative side effects reported in the literature. Less frequently published research results indicate, and also alarm, that increased chloride concentrations can appear in wastewater flowing into sanitary (separate) sewers. In the case of small wastewater treatment plants, increased chloride concentrations can have a negative impact primarily on the biological processes of wastewater treatment and, after discharge from the wastewater treatment plant, on the biological life in the waters and the nearest recipient environment of the treated wastewater. The study aimed to determine the concentrations and loads of chlorides in wastewater flowing through the distribution sewer system to 4 small wastewater treatment plants located in Poland, in the Lesser Poland Province, during snowmelt and heavy rainfall in 2019–2023. The study showed a significant increase in concentrations and loads of chlorides in wastewater in February. Unit chloride load in raw sewage during snowmelt varied from 7 to 12 kg∙d–1 per 1 km length of separate sewer network. There was also a repeated, but much lower, increase in chloride con-centrations during summer and autumn precipitation. This is when the leaching of residual salt accumulated around the road surface occurred.

Abstract

PLB 060001 Bagno Bubnów is situated within the boundaries of the Polesie National Park, Poland, representing one of the most significant wetland areas in Europe. It is home to protected phytocenoses and associated flora, including Ostericum palustre (ANKPA), a species covered by the Habitats Directive, the Bern Convention, and strict species protection in Poland. ANKPA is a species of Community importance, requiring the designation of an area within the Natura 2000 network. In Poland, it is classified as a vulnerable species. The current global trend of its population remains uncertain. The IUCN emphasises that there is insufficient data to determine its status. This paper presents geobotanical findings from Bagno Bubnów (2021–2022). Based on these findings, the conditions of ANKPA’s occurrence were determined. These include the physicochemical properties of soils and the syntaxonomic structure of phytocoenoses it inhabits. In the study area, ANKPA grew mainly in phytocoenoses of the Molinion alliance. The analysis indicates that ANKPA exhibits a broad ecological spectrum with respect to numerous habitat parameters. ANKPA was most frequently observed in eutrophic habitats. These habitats had an average organic matter content of 14.73% and an average organic carbon content of 6.7%. The pH of these habitats was neutral, averaging 7.14. They were also saturated with basic cations, with calcium being predominant (average saturation 95.8%). Findings demonstrate that PLB 060001 Bagno Bubnów is a significant location for the conservation of ANKPA. Furthermore, the environmental conditions at this site are conducive to the survival of this species.

Abstract

The maintenance of appropriate soil structure is critical for preventing soil degradation and mitigating nutrient losses that cause eutrophication of water bodies. An important challenge to combat eutrophication in the Baltic Sea is reducing phosphorus losses from agricultural land. Gypsum (CaSO4∙2H2O) has been identified as a promising soil amendment that improves soil structure and reduces phosphorus leaching. However, it has not been widely used in Poland. The article explains the importance of gypsum during the formation of a lumpy soil structure and in reducing phosphorus losses. A total of 18 samples were prepared, including three replicate samples without and with gypsum. Gypsum was added to each of the three pots based on the bulk density of the soil to correspond 4 Mg of gypsum per ha. The soil samples were analysed for total phosphorus, phosphates, available phosphorus, pH in water, KCl, and organic carbon. The study presents findings of a laboratory pot test conducted on three soil samples from Southern Poland. The pot experiment indicated a decrease in turbidity of leachates from the soil samples treated with gypsum. Gypsum application did not significantly affect soil pH and total phosphorus content. Analysis of the soil samples before and after the watering showed that the total phosphorus concentration did not change. This was due to the low share of phosphorus released relative to the total phosphorus content in the soil.

Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the causes of eutrophication in small urban water reservoirs located in the UMCS Botanical Garden in Lublin, supplied via surface and groundwater. The research (hydrological, hydrobiological, and hydrochemical), which included both field and laboratory work, was conducted during the growing season in the years 2022–2023. These ponds are fed by waters from the Czechówka River and, to a lesser extent, by groundwater (seepage). Both river and groundwater are characterised by high concentrations of mineral forms of nitrogen and phosphorus, ranging from 1.49 to 12.0 mg N∙dm–3 and 0.07 to 0.21 mg P∙dm–3, respectively. This contributes to the intensive development of phytoplankton, especially during the summer period, with diatoms dominating the phytoplankton structure. The trophic state of the ponds ranges from eutrophic to hypertrophic. The study showed that the high degree of eutrophication was due to the load of nutrients delivered by the waters of the Czechówka River. Despite having several times higher concentrations of mineral and total nitrogen than in the river water, the spring water feeding the ponds had a negligible impact on the quality of the pond water due to low flow rate (<0.5 dm3∙s−1). Therefore, the construction of urban ponds as part of green-blue infrastructure should consider the possibility of reducing nutrients through biogeochemical barriers and suspended sedimentation. It is also advisable to partially shade the water surface by planting trees in the shoreline zone to limit water heating and phytoplankton development.

Abstract

 The increasing demand for renewable energy sources has intensified interest in exploring biomass for bioenergy production. Selection of suitable feedstock is significant for the economic viability and ecological impact. Lignocellulosic biomass, derived from non-food plants materials, has emerged as an attractive substrate with low cost and no competition to food crops. Gleditsia triacanthos offers a promising alternative due to its widespread availability, adaptability to diverse climates and soil conditions, fast growth, and high biomass yield. This study investigates the potential of G. triacanthos biomass as a viable substrate for bioethanol production through a combination of pretreatment method, microbiological hydrolysis, and fermentation processes. The biological pretreatment method to enhance cellulose accessibility was analysed. Fermentation trials were carried out using Saccharomyces cerevisiae to assess ethanol yield. Eleven strains with potential cellulolytic activity to the analysed biomass were isolated. The activity index for these strains ranged from 1.09 to 4.86. Results demonstrated that G. triacanthos biomass using selected strains could be converted to fermentable sugars. The highest amount of distillate (83.7 cm3) was obtained after pretreatment and hydrolysis with the BS5 strain (36.3% v/v). These findings indicate that G. triacanthos biomass is a viable and sustainable resource for second-generation bioethanol production, contributing to the development of renewable energy technologies and the mitigation of fossil fuel dependency.

Abstract

Low and poor-quality water resources in Poland require rational and responsible use of them also in aquaculture. In recent years, there has been an increase in fish consumption, but also a change in consumer preferences. The development of innovative aquaculture methods leads to a reduction in water consumption, even by 20%, as is the case with recirculation aquaculture systems with salmonid fish production. In turn, sewage sludge generated in the purification process should be directed to the third stage of their purification, i.e. a hydrophyte lagoon. High requirements for the discharge of post-production water into aquatic ecosystems call for even more restrictive water management at every stage of fish production. The use of phytoremediation based on knowledge about the adaptation of aquatic and wetland plants to development in artificial aquatic ecosystems is an important element supporting the improvement of surface water quality. Thanks to the processes of rhizofiltration, phytoextraction and phytodegradation, hydrophytes effectively participate in reducing the concentration of nutrients and additionally metal ions. In turn, in fish farms focused on intensive carp production, part of the water drained from ponds in autumn can be subjected to phytoremediation in channels with an ecotone zone, thus improving the quality of these ecosystems. The key here is the selection of plants for the proposed solutions using phytoremediation and guaranteeing the effectiveness of this technology

Abstract

  • The study aimed to analyse the seasonal variability of phosphorus concentrations and phosphorus content and the impact of catchment development of the Panew Mała River. The study presents the findings of a two-year experimental investigation (comprising 17 measurement series across 12 measurement cross-sections) into the concentration of phosphorus (P) and its soluble form, orthophosphates (PO42−). The mean phosphate concentrations were found to be low, with a range of 0.03 to 0.08 PO42− mg∙dm−3. In contrast, the total phosphorus concentrations were relatively high, with a range of 0.11 to 0.43 mg∙dm−3 The seasonal variability was analysed based on quarterly means and half-yearly periods covering quarters II and III (spring–summer) and quarters I and IV (autumn–winter), respectively. The analysis of spatial variability was conducted using cluster analysis according to Ward’s method, with the Euclidean distance employed as a measure of distance and the results related to the utilisation of different catchment area. Due to the slight differences in the phosphate concentration, the total phosphorus concentration was analysed in detail. The analysis of variance showed no significant differences between phosphorus concentrations in certain quarters, while greater variations were obtained for half-yearly periods. The applied method of grouping the sampling sites made it possible to distinguish several groups of sampling sites, which indicate relations between the values of phosphorus concentration in the waters of Mała Panew and the type of use of the catchment area.

Peer-review Procedure

Reviewing procedure

Procedure of reviewing submitted papers agrees with recommendations of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education published in a booklet: „Dobre praktyki w procedurach recenzyjnych w nauce”.

Reviewing form may be downloaded from the Journal’s web page.

1. Papers submitted to the Editorial Office are primarily verified by editors with respect to merit and formal issues. Texts with obvious errors (formatting other than requested, missing references, evidently low scientific quality) will be rejected at this stage.

2. Primarily accepted papers are sent to the two independent referees from outside the author’s institution, who:

- have no conflict of interests with the author,
- are not in professional relationships with the author,
- are competent in a given discipline and have at least doctor’s degree and respective scientific achievements,
- have unblemished reputation as reviewers.

3. In case of papers written in foreign language, at least one referee is affiliated in a foreign institution other than the author’s nationality.

4. Reviewing proceeds in the double blind process (authors and reviewers do not know each other’s names) recommended by the Ministry.

5. A number is attributed to the paper to identify it in further stages of editorial procedure.

6. Potential referee obtains summary of the text and it is his/her decision upon accepting/rejecting the paper for review within a given time period.

7. Referees are obliged to keep opinions about the paper confidential and to not use knowledge about it before publication.

8. Review must have a written form and end up with an explicit conclusion about accepting or rejecting the paper from publication. Referee has a possibility to conclude his/her opinion in a form:

- accept without revision;
- accept with minor revision;
- accept after major revision,
- re-submission and further reviewing after complete re-arrangement of the paper,
- reject.

9. Referee sends the review to the “Journal of Water and Land Development” by Editorial System. The review is archived there for 5 years.

10. Editors do not accept reviews, which do not conform to merit and formal rules of scientific reviewing like short positive or negative remarks not supported by a close scrutiny or definitely critical reviews with positive final conclusion and vice versa. Referee’s remarks are presented to the author. Rational and motivated conclusions are obligatory for the author. He/she has to consider all remarks and revise the text accordingly. Referee has the right to verify so revised text.

11. Author of the text has the right to comment referee’s conclusions in case he/she does not agree with them.

12. Editor-in Chief (supported by members of the Editorial Board) decides upon publication based on remarks and conclusions presented by referees, author’s comments and the final version of the manuscript.

Plagiarism Policy


Plagiarism Policy

1. The Editorial Team of the “Journal of Water and Land Development” (JWLD) is strictly against any unethical act of copying or plagiarism in any form. According to Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) plagiarism is defined as: When somebody presents the work of others (data, words or theories) as if they were his/her own and without proper acknowledgement. Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). All manuscripts submitted for publication to JWLD are cross-checked for plagiarism using iThenticate/Turnitin software.
2. Plagiarism is the unethical act of copying someone else's prior ideas, processes, results or words without explicit acknowledgement of the original author and source. Self-plagiarism occurs when an author utilises a large part of his/her own previously published work without using appropriate references. This can range from getting the same manuscript published in multiple journals to modifying a previously published manuscript with some new data.
3. Manuscripts found to be plagiarised (overall similarity index of the manuscript should not be more than 15% for research articles and 20% for review articles with a limitation of less than 3% similarity from any individual source) during initial stages of review are out-rightly rejected and not considered for publication in the journal. In case a manuscript is found to be plagiarised after publication, the Editor-in-Chief will conduct a preliminary investigation, may be with the help of a suitable committee constituted for the purpose.
4. If the manuscript is found to be plagiarised beyond the acceptable limits, the journal will contact the author's Institute / College / University and Funding Agency, if any. A determination of misconduct will lead JWLD to run a statement bi-directionally linked online to and from the original paper, to note the plagiarism and provide a reference to the plagiarised material.
5. The paper containing the plagiarism will also be marked on each page of the PDF. Upon determination of the extent of plagiarism, the paper may also be formally retracted.

Types of Plagiarism

The following types of plagiarism are considered by JWLD:

1. Full Plagiarism: Previously published content without any changes to the text, idea and grammar is considered as full plagiarism. It involves presenting exact text from a source as one's own.
2. Partial Plagiarism: If content is a mixture from multiple different sources, where the author has extensively rephrased text, then it is known as partial plagiarism.
3. Self-Plagiarism: When an author reuses complete or portions of their pre-published research, then it is known as self-plagiarism. Complete self-plagiarism is a case when an author republishes their own previously published work in a new journal.

JWLD respects intellectual property and aims at protecting and promoting original work of its authors. Manuscripts containing plagiarised material are against the standards of quality, research and innovation. Hence, all authors submitting articles to JWLD are expected to abide by ethical standards and abstain from plagiarism, in any form.

The authors must ensure that the submitted manuscript:
- describes completely the original work;
- is not plagiarism;
- has not been published before in any language;
- the information used or words from other publications are appropriately indicated by reference or indicated in the text.
Existing copyright laws and conventions must be observed. Materials protected by copyright (for example, tables, figures or large quotations) should only be reproduced with the permission of their owner.

In case, an author is found to be suspected of plagiarism in a submitted or published manuscript then, JWLD shall contact the author(s) to submit his/her/their explanation within two weeks, which may be forwarded to the special commission constituted for the purpose, for further course of action. If JWLD does not receive any response from the author within the stipulated time period, then the Director / Dean / Head of the concerned College, Institution or Organization or the Vice Chancellor of the University to which the author is affiliated shall be contacted to take strict action against the concerned author.

JWLD shall take serious action against published manuscripts found to contain plagiarism and shall completely remove them from the JWLD website and other third party websites where the paper is listed and indexed. The moment, any article published in the JWLD database is reported to be plagiarised, JWLD will constitute a special commission to investigate the same. Upon having established that the manuscript is plagiarised from some previously published work, JWLD shall support the original author and manuscript irrespective of the publisher and may take any or all of the following immediate actions or follow the additional courses of actions*:

1. JWLD editorial office shall immediately contact the Director / Dean / Head of the concerned College, Institution or Organization or the Vice Chancellor of the University to which the author(s) is (are) affiliated to take strict action against the concerned author.
2. JWLD shall change the PDF copy of the published manuscript from the website and the term Retraction shall be appended to the published manuscript title.
3. JWLD shall disable the author account with the journal and reject all future submissions from the author for a period of 03 / 05 / 10 years or even ban the authors permanently.

*Any additional courses of action, as recommended by the commission or as deemed fit for the instant case or as decided by the Editor-in-Chief, implemented from time to time.
