Opis e-booka:
Celem pracy była ocena właściwości populacji B. pendula rosnącej w warunkach zróżnicowanej antropopresji z uwagi na: wybrane cechy life history (np.: parametry wielkości, biomasy osobników, ocena płodności osobników), określenie kondycji osobników brzozy, ocenę czynników abiotycznych i biotycznych odpowiedzialnych za rozmieszczenie siewek w przestrzeni. Do badań wybrano brzozę brodawkowatą gatunek siedliskotwórczy o szerokiej skali ekologicznej, odporny na zanieczyszczenia środowiska. Badania prowadzono w latach 2005–2008 oraz 2009–2010 na 4 powierzchniach badawczych różniących się stopniem antropopresji.Wyniki prezentowanej pracy mogą stanowić nowe źródło wiedzy na temat sposobu kształtowania się pokrywy roślinnej, która zasiedla zdegradowane tereny nieużytków poprzemysłowych. Tylko rezultaty długoterminowych badań nad procesami zasiedlania przez poszczególne gatunki zwałów poprzemysłowych mogą ułatwić prace planistyczne związane z rekultywacją i zagospodarowaniem takich obiektów.
