It has been known for more than 200 years that the species richness of different groups of organisms is highest near the equator and decreases toward the poles. Dozens of…
Large old trees occupy the same space for centuries, modifying the local environment by forming litter and releasing chemicals, which affect many generations of young trees. As a result, the…
Together with Dr Anna Łubek (Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce) and Prof. Martin Kukwa, we examined, how different levels of the Białowieża Forest ecosystem organization (i.e. substrate, tree phorophyte and…
The journal Forest Ecology and Management has just published a new paper by our team “Predictors of diversity of deadwood-dwelling macrofungi in a European natural forest“. The paper is the…
Together with dr. Anna Orczewska (University of Silesia in Katowice) and dr. Marcin Dyderski (Institute of Dendrology Polish Academy of Sciences) we demonstrated how different ecological mechanisms (niche differentiation, interspecific…
Dr Marcin K. Dyderski from the Institute of Dendrology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Kórnik, together with Dr Patryk Czortek, invite researches who conduct studies on the impacts…
The ability of plants to tolerate freezing limits their geographical distribution. Therefore, winter warming may shift a species’ occurrence northwards and/or to higher altitudes. The hemiparasitic Viscum album album (European…
Common in North America and invasive in Europe Impatiens capensis lacked data on microstructure of seed coat. This gap was filled by collaborative work of scientists from Szczecin, Łódź and…
Seed coat micromorphology is useful for solving taxonomic problems in different plant groups, yet only about 200 of 1000 known Impatiens species has such studies done. New data on seed…
