In recent years researchers have focused increasingly on climatic changes taking place in nature (increasing air temperature, decreasing precipitation totals). These imply changes in components of water balances and in practice changes in water relations both on the global and local scale. At present site overdrying is considered to be the biggest threat [Pierzgalski 2007]. The aim of the study was to present water relations found in forest swampy areas in a forest district (the Marianka Forest District) of the Siemianice Forest Experimental Station in hydrological years of 2005 and 2006. Investigations showed that analyzed catchments, despite being located in swampy areas, are characterized by periods of water depletion in ditches. In analyzed watercourses runoff was recorded from mid-November 2004 to the beginning of June 2005, while in the next hydrological year it was again from mid- November, but this time longer - to mid-June 2006. In relation to ground water of the catchment area a predictable relationship was observed of the water table level on the location of observation wells. Wells located in the top sections of the catchment had a water table the deepest below the ground level, while wells in valleys had water tables at the most ...

The Wielkopolski National Park is located in the mid-part of the Warta river basin, in central part of Wielkopolska region, near Poznań city. The area is placed in the western part of the Wielkopolska-Mazovian climatic region. The natural landscape is of glacial type of Pleistocene and Holocene formation. Scot pine (Pinus silvestris) is the dominant species but also Common oak (Quercus robur), Silver birch (Betula pendula), alder (Alnus glutinosa) and Red beech (Fagus silvatica) are present there. The predominant habitats are: fresh broadleaved forest, fresh mixed broadleaved forest and fresh nixed coniferous forest. In paper the original method of potential water storage coefficient estimated for The Wielkopolski National Park has been presented. The idea of the method is as follows – for each elementary area (a square cell of 0.5 km side) exclusive potential water storage coefficient is assigned. This coefficient focuses converging influence of 8 parameters: area slope, soil thickness, infiltration coefficient of soil, distance from watercourse network, distance from pond and lake network, dominant forest site, dominant species of species composition and class of tree stand age. The next step in the course of calculation is division of the variability range of 8 above-mentioned parameters into 3 classes ...
In this paper the scope of hydrological investigations and the results obtained in year 2013 on monitoring station at the Tuczno forest inspectorate was presented. The analyzed area is located in the north-west part of Poland in Pomerania province. Three of four components of water balance were directly measured in vertical profile : precipitation (P), evapotranspiration (E) and changes of water retention (soil moisture) (ΔR). The outflow (H) was computed by use of following equation: H = P - E - ΔR. In order to measure above mentioned parameters we have used set of instruments consisted of: tipping bucket rain-gauges A-STER and WXT510 meteorological station (precipitation); - eddy covariance system (anemometer CSAT 3 and Li-7500 IR gas analyzer) - evapotranspiration; - and few reflectometers CS616 (TDR method - soil moisture). Changes of water retention in 30 minute periods, calculated on the basis of soil moisture fluctuations indicate that they show synchronous fluctuations in the respective sums of precipitation. The amplitudes of soil moisture fluctuatons are inversely proportional to depth the u.s.a. Computed average value of specific outflow oscillate between normative values for this region.

The Promotion Forest Complexes are a functional areas in peculiarities about to ecological meaning, educational and social. The own name Promotion Forest Complex (PFC) Rychtalskie Forest is accepted from a situated forests on precinct Rychtal of Forest Inspectorate Syców. This forests of precinct are celebrated from ekotype ordinary pine, about unrepeatable genetic values, confirmed in scientific investigations. Total area of the PFC Rychtalskie Forest carries out 47 992 ha, in this Forest Inspectorate Antonin 19915 hahectare, Forest Inspectorate Syców 22 140 ha, and Forest Experimental Institution Experimental Siemianice 5938 ha. Generally, on the PFC Rychtalskie Forest area are: 57% coniferous forest, 37.5% broadleaved forest and 5.5% upland forest. In Forest Inspectorate Antonin greatest area occupies fresh coniferous forest. In Forest Inspectorates Syców and Siemianice dominates habitats of fresh mixed coniferous. On all area least participation has flooded forest. Defined, that under notion marshlands were described forest areas, forest ekosystems forest in excess wet, to which belongs initially these grounds, that are in forest descriptions classified as: Bb, BMB, LMB, Ol, OlJ and Lł (Polish standard). To detailed investigations are selected three experimental areas, microcatchments and 6 transects transverse to forest roads situated or in frames above mentioned areas or ...
