Based on the analysis and interpretation of maps, remote sensing data published in the literature, and environmental reconnaissance, this article discusses environmental transformations in the Wojkowice area in southern Poland (up to the year 2020). A comprehensive analysis was carried out concerning spatial development, mining activity, hydrogeological conditions and the biotic environment. The current state of the hydrogeological conditions was also characterized. Mining activity in the vicinity of the studied town caused significant changes in its relief, which contributed to its area dropping by about 5 m. In fact, these terrain forms are overgrown by various forms of vegetation that colonized these areas both naturally and as a result of forest reclamation. The contemporary vegetation of Wojkowice differs from the potential natural vegetation, which is an indicator of the complete anthropogenization of the natural environment. Over 100 years of industrial activity in Wojkowice has also contributed to a strong transformation of the groundwater. There has been a quantitative depletion of usable groundwater in the Triassic and Carboniferous formations. With inflows to the ore mines of up to 17 m3/min, the groundwater table has dropped by more than 60 m. The aquifer of Muschelkalk has been practically drained. At present, wells extract the waters from the Röth aquifer. There has been a major transformation of groundwater chemistry. The waters of the Triassic carbonate complex are anthropogenically transformated and are characterized by increased mineralization, multi-ionic types and usually with a quality class III and IV, and, therefore, they require some treatment.

The current state of the land cover has been estimated in the territories where in different years (1885, 1955, 1995) the forests were damaged by Siberian silkmoth. Dark-needle taiga is restored through the change of tree species. In 20 years in areas of dark-needle taiga there are graminoid communities, in 60 years we have deciduous forests there, and in 130 - dark needle forests, but not everywhere.

Globally, the process of urbanization is transforming land use and, as a consequence, reducing the efficiency of ecosystem services (ESs), which ensure a healthy and comfortable urban environment. In cities, green infrastructure (GI) is a key source of urban ESs. Russia is a highly urbanized country: 70% of its population live in towns or cities. As cities continue to expand, they are swallowing unsealed lands that support ESs. In this paper, we present the results of an analysis of the current state and recent changes in urban GI in Russia’s 16 largest cities, including a biophysical evaluation of key urban ESs, using remote sensing data and freely available statistics. Our analysis identifies a weak correlation between GI area, ES volume, and favorable climate conditions as well as a stronger correlation between ESs and the increasing rate of urbanization. Considering Russia’s high level of urbanization, the key importance of ESs for the well-being of citizens, and ongoing reductions of urban GI, major revisions to urban planning policy are required. Indicators of urban biodiversity, GI, and ESs should be incorporated into decision-making processes. In particular, it is vital that the accounting and monitoring of GI and ESs are established in all of Russia’s larger cities.

Recent Addition

Composite resins represent the current state of the art in the field of restorative materials, for they present a standard aesthetic potential with satisfactory durability and are less cost-effective than a comparable ceramic restoration. The most recent addition to this is a nanohybrid direct composite that demonstrates exceptional handling properties and superior aesthetics. These series of case reports illustrate the three different scenarios where nanohybrid composite was used as a direct restorative material owing to its high smoothness and favorable mechanical properties; the first case being the fracture of an upper lateral incisor, second of Class IV caries in upper central incisors, and lastly the discolored restoration and Class III caries in upper central incisors. The nanohybrids used provided an acceptable color match in all the three cases with a conservative technique and were relatively easy to maintain.

This article is devoted to the development of an algorithm for the preventive assessment of the fire danger of natural areas using remote sensing data (the preventive natural fire danger assessment algorithm). The problems of the current state of the remote sensing materials use for fires researches as a justification for the need of the algorithm are considered. A review of existing methods and algorithms of natural fire danger assessment is done. The algorithm development includes description of the general structure and the content filling process of different algorithm components. The algorithm is a stages sequence of remote sensing data processing and analysis in terms of fire danger. As a result of algorithm, the fire danger assessment of the observed territory is formed. A special feature of the algorithm is its preventiveness, universality (applicability for any territory), practical automatability (the ability to represent in the form of a program code for the processing of RSD) and flexibility (the ability to add and branch the sequence). In the end, general conclusions and recommendations on the use of the algorithm are given.

Information about the current state of territories makes it possible to trace ongoing degradation phenomena, caused by environmental transformation, and predict trends of further changes brought up by different reasons including shifts in climate parameters. Assessment of the neutral balance of land degradation (NBDZ), which is one of the criteria for sustainable land use, using the geosystem analysismethod, allows us to assess not only the actual state of natural and natural-anthropogenic landscapes, but also the speed of changes occurring in them, as well as the ability to preserve their main functions.

The article discusses the latest research regarding the dialect of the Lasowiacy, a subethnic group living at the conflux of the Vistula and the San in southern Poland. These studies are linguistic or ethnographic and verify the current state of the dialect, its stratification and functions in the fluid realities. Some researchers claim the present stage is one of “the emergence of an supraregional interdialect based on the Lasowiacy patois, whose usage encompasses a certain section of Subcarpathia” (Radwański 2013).
