    Abstract This paper presents the main directions and range of man-made changes to the vascular flora and their effects at the vegetation level. The native flora of Poland, located in the temperate zone of Central Europe, comprises approximately 2639 species. The effect of human pressure, which began in the Neolithic and has intensified in the last 200 years, has caused changes in the native flora and has included an inflow of 975 alien species, 560 of which have become permanently established. Currently, at least 704 native species are recognized as endangered, and only 623 are recognized as being able to occupy habitats that were created or strongly transformed by humans. Native species (apophytes) and aliens (anthropophytes) have co-created completely new plant communities in these habitats. Among the alien plants, neophytes (399 species) outnumber archaeophytes (161 species). Additionally, many neophytes (123 species) can penetrate seminatural and natural communities. Research has shown that the proportions of apophytes, alien plants, and declining species can be used to clearly differentiate plant communities and be used as an indicator of anthropogenic changes. A comparison of the man-made changes in Polish flora and vegetation in other countries showed that the changes in Poland are part of the global process of environmental degradation and are aggravated by the country’s economic development.

    Abstract The changes in plant cover have been the subject of regular geobotanical research for over 150 years. For several decades, one of the most outstanding researchers of this process has been Professor Herbert Sukopp from the Technische Universität Berlin. This paper discusses the main concepts and most important results of his empirical research. Based on the analysis of international scientific information database resources (Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar), the worldwide impact of Sukopp’s publications on the development of research in the field of anthropogenic changes in flora and vegetation was illustrated.

    Abstract The paper presents an analysis of problems of arable field weeds discussed by Polish authors in 2853 botanical scientific works published in the years 1870-2015. The research included both widely available publications and scientific works that appeared in Polish in regional and local journals, as well as the brief conference proceeding. The thematic structure of Polish studies on segetal weeds consists of several levels and includes eight main thematic groups and 51 subgroups. The review and multi-subject works were included in the ninth group. Taking into account the number of publications, main thematic groups are ranked as follows: (1) Weed flora and vegetation: structure, distribution and dynamics; (2) Weediness of different crop types, crop fields and fallow lands; (3) Interactions between weeds and the environment; (4) Biology and weed development; (5) Variability, taxonomy and weed diagnostics; (6) Research methodology; (7) Extinction and protection of weeds; (8) Weeds of archaeological localities.

    Abstract The availability of archival spatial datasets, which are crucial means of obtaining valuable information in biological and ecological research, is often limited due to the analog form of the data. Therefore, digitization projects of natural history collections (NHCs) currently show a rising trend. Increasingly, these projects include geotagging, which means assigning geographical coordinates and spatial attributes to specimens discovered in the field. Although numerous studies have examined the process of digitizing NHCs, there is still a need to develop good practice guides and a unified database or list of geographical information resources. Moreover, the accuracy of the spatial assignment of specimen locations in many online databases is unacceptable for environmental research. Therefore, it is important to develop a methodology to standardize geotagging methods.The first goal of this paper was to create and verify a list of available online sources of geotagged spatial information. The second goal was to develop a good practice guide for geotagging NHCs based on the limitations resulting from the specificity of archival data. These aims were achieved owing to participation in the AMU Nature Collections project – digitization and sharing of natural data resources of the Faculty of Biology of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań (AMUNATCOLL). The results of the proposed methodology indicate that natural history data are so heterogeneous in terms of spatial description quality that it is not always possible to unambiguously and precisely geotag them. Therefore, it is important to implement the spatial quality assessment and commenting system proposed by the authors.

    Abstract For 12 years, Biodiversity: Research and Conservation has been publishing scientific articles in the area of taxonomy, chorology, ecology and nature protection. In accordance with the journal’s profile adopted from the very beginning, the subject of publications are plants in the wide, traditional perspective of this group of organisms, as well as fungi and lichens. Over 12 years, 345 scientific articles were published in the journal’s pages. The frequency in individual sections is as follows: Variability, taxonomy and phylogeny – 95, Chorology – 92, Ecology – 79, Nature protection – 51, other topics – 28. The authors of these articles are 468 scientists from 28 countries. To ensure a high level of publications, the submitted works are send for review. To date, 171 scientists specializing in biological diversity research participated in the review process.

    Abstract Due to the urban heat island effect, the time of plant pollination might markedly vary within the area of a city. However, existing pollen forecasts do not reflect the spatial variations in the pollen release time within a heterogeneous urban environment. The main objective of this study was to model the spatial pattern of flowering onset (and thus the moment of pollen release) in silver birch (Betula pendula Roth.) in Poznań (Western Poland) using land surface temperature (LST) data and in situ phenological observations. The onset of silver birch flowering was observed at 34 urban and rural sites (973 trees) in Poznań from 2012 to 2014. Forty-four thermal variables were retrieved from MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data. To predict the spatio-temporal distribution of B. pendula flowering onset dates in a city, the ordinary and partial least squares, support vector machine and random forest regression models were applied. The models' performance was examined by an internal repeated k-fold cross-validation and external validation with archival phenological data (2010). Birch flowering began significantly earlier in the urban sites compared to the rural sites (from -1.4 days in 2013, to -4.1 days in 2012). The maximum March LST difference between the urban and rural sites reached 2.4 °C in 2013 and 4.5 °C in 2012. The random forest model performed best at validation stage, i.e. the root mean square error between the predicted and observed onset dates was 1.461 days, and the determination coefficient was 0.829. A calibrated model for predicting the timing of flowering in a heterogeneous city area is an important step in developing a fine-scale forecasting system that can directly estimate pollen exposure in places where allergy sufferers live. Importantly, by incorporating only pre-flowering thermal data into the model, location-specific allergy forecasts can be delivered to the public before the actual flowering time.
