Abstract The main purpose of the work was to determine the scope and degree of the influence of exploitation on changes of plant cover of the raised peat-bog Baligówka, located in the Orawsko- Nowotarska Valley. The analysis was carried out based on 47 phytosociological surveys using the Braun-Blanquet method. Results of investigations allow to state that excessive drying and fires that took place on the examined object caused wastage of many precious species of plants, especially from the Oxycocco- Sphagnetea class. Their place occupied species belonging to other classes, such as Nardo-Callunetea and Molinio-Arrhenatheretea. The basic cause of drying of the peat-bog and, in consequence, dying of peat formation species is intensified exploitation and connected with this drainage, carried out in the half of the 20th century. Unfortunately, local people up to now illegally have harvested the peat on the investigated object. Decrease in groundwater level leads to accelerated decay of peat, changes in physical and chemical properties of a substratum and, in consequence, changes in trophic values of habitat, what causes great changes in species composition of plant communities.

SUMMARYSoil fauna of irrigated olive and vine farms and a rain-fed farm at the Egyptian western desert were surveyed and analysed between September 1977 and August 1978. In samples from these farms, Collembola and Acari constituted the highest fraction of total arthropod fauna while Aranea, Myriapoda, Crustacea, and Pseudoscorpionida comprised the lowest fractions. Populations of annelids and nematodes differed from one farm to another. The study revealed that plant cover, irrigation system, human interference and the physical and chemical properties exerted a considerable effect on the number and type of soil fauna components at each farm.

Comparison of habitats of <em>Polygonetum natantis</em> Soó 1927 and <em>Potamogetonetum natantis</em> Soó 1927 phytocenoses as regards physical and chemical properties of the water and substrate demonstrated that the habitat requirements of both these communities are different. <em>Polygonetum natantis</em> phytocenoses indicate a substrate poor in nutrient components and rich waters, whereas <em>Potamogetonetum natantis</em> patches, on the contrary, are evidence of fertile substrate and waters poor in biophilous components. The differences in habitat conditions demonstrated between the examined communities confirm the correctness of narrow classification of aquatic plant communities, based on floristic dominance.

In connection with the spectrophotometric study of population-type characteristics of various kinds of stars, a statistical analysis of kinematical and distribution parameters of the same stars is performed at the Toruń Observatory. This has a twofold purpose: first, to provide a practical guide in selecting stars for observing programmes, second, to contribute to the understanding of relations existing between the physical and chemical properties of stars and their kinematics and distribution in the Galaxy.

Organic farming is one of the management strategies that improve productivity of marginal uplands. The study aimed to: (1) evaluate effects of various organic-based fertilizers on the growth and yield of corn; (2) determine the appropriate combination for optimum yield; and (3) assess changes on the soil physical and chemical properties. Experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design, with 3 replications and 7 treatments, namely; T0=(0-0-0); T1=1t ha-1 Evans + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T2=t ha-1 Wellgrow + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T3=15t ha-1 chicken dung; T4=10t ha-1 chicken dung + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T5=15t ha-1 Vermicast; and T6=10t ha-1 Vermicast + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1. Application of organic-based fertilizers with or without inorganic fertilizers promoted growth of corn than the control. But due to high infestation of corn silk beetle(Monolepta bifasciata Horns), its grain yield was greatly affected. In the second cropping, except for Evans, any of these fertilizers applied alone or combined with 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1 appeared appropriate in increasing corn earyield. Soil physical and chemical properties changed with addition of organic fertilizers. While bulk density decreased irrespective of treatments, pH, total N, available P and exchangeable K generally increased more with chicken dung application.
