SETTING: The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all of us in many areas of life due to mitigation measures, delays in medical care, or the disease itself. When it concerns issues as complex and universal as COVID-19, the public should also have a say in how to deal with managing
its impact.DESIGN: In a widely distributed online questionnaire, members of the Austrian public were invited to contribute experiences, ideas and opinions on the level of risk they were willing to accept regarding COVID-19. The huge variety of responses were categorised by social
scientists into groups used in a workshop to draw up recommendations for responding to future challenges to the healthcare system from an interdisciplinary point of view.RESULTS: The results of the survey indicated that while members of the public are primarily afraid of illnesses
caused by COVID-19, they also fear the psychological burden and effects at the societal level.CONCLUSION: Our study has shown that there is a significant public desire to have a say in issues which directly impact citizens.

A água é um dos principais fatores para o crescimento e desenvolvimento de plantas, sendo os vasos do xilema os dutos responsáveis pelo seu transporte das raízes até a parte aérea das plantas. A característica dos vasos do xilema do porta-enxerto pode influenciar a formação dos vasos condutores das cultivares copa, bem como a condutividade hidráulica da planta para suprir a eficiência no transporte de água. O objetivo desse estudo foi caracterizar os vasos do xilema de ramos de quatro genótipos de Prunus ssp., utilizados como porta-enxertos. Foi determinada a perda percentual de condutividade hidráulica, quantificando o número, o diâmetro e a frequência da distribuição de vasos do xilema em cinco classes de diâmetros (< 15; 15 – 30; 30 – 45; > 45 µm), estimando-se a condutância hidráulica teórica. Dentre os genótipos analisados, verificou-se significativa diferença no número e diâmetro de vasos do xilema, características que determinaram uma maior condutância hidráulica teórica (Kh) e a maior e perda percentual de condutividade em ramos de ‘Montclar’, que se mostrou mais suscetível a efeitos de embolia. ‘Capdeboscq’ apresentou a maior média de vasos com diâmetro inferior a 15 μm e junto com ‘Okinawa’ apresentaram as menores médias de Kh e de PLC nos ramos.  Ambos genótipos apresentaram maior frequência de diâmetro de vasos de xilema entre 15 e 30 um, mitigando efeitos relacionados a embolia. As características dos vasos do xilema dos porta-enxertos podem ter um impacto significativo na capacidade de transporte de água das plantas, sendo importante considerar essas variáveis para selecionar e utilizar porta-enxertos em cultivos de Prunus ssp.

Published: July 2023

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important tropical root crop grown worldwide for food, feed and industrial purposes. Harvested cassava roots quickly deteriorate and loose the shelf-life due to a phenomenon called postharvest physiological deterioration (PPD). PPD symptom starts within 24 hr after harvest, initially as blue black discolouration in the storage parenchyma and quickly spread to entire root. The roots become unfit for consumption within 2-3 days after the harvest in most cases. Identification of delayed PPD genotypes in cassava will help breed superior varieties tolerant to deterioration with long shelf-life. Low molecular weight phytochemicals produced during PPD are reported to have significant role in PPD development. We analyzed the biochemical changes associated to secondary metabolites in 61 cassava genotypes during storage and evaluated the relationship with PPD. PPD evaluation was done visually at specified intervals by taking transverse sections at 25, 50 and 75% along length of roots from proximal to distal end and the roots were categorized into different PPD classes based on the visual scoring. Root morphological, starch, and carotene content had no direct correlation with PPD. The HPTLC chromatographic data on phytoconstituents of methanolic extract of cassava roots and its relation with PPD symptoms were analyzed and polymorphic bands were assessed for grouping the genotypes based on PPD expression levels. Cluster analysis revealed a close association between PPD expression and phytochemical constituents of stored roots and this can help to categorize the genotypes based on PPD.

Published: July 2023

A field experiment to study the effect of different protected environments and irrigation methods on growth and yield of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) was conducted at NRCSS, Tabiji, Ajmer, Rajasthan during rabi season of the year 2008-09 to 2010-11. The experiment comprising four treatments of protected environments, viz. plastic covered walk in tunnel, insect proof net covered walk in tunnel, shade net covered walk in tunnel, plastic low tunnel and control (open conditions) in main plots and three irrigation method treatments (pressurized drip irrigation, low pressure drip irrigation and surface irrigation) in subplots was conducted with three replications in split plot design. The soil of the experimental plot was sandy loam, with low organic carbon and nitrogen, medium in available phosphorus and sufficient in available potassium. Impact of protected environment and methods of irrigation was recorded with respect to plant growth, yield attributes and seed yield. The plastic covered walk in tunnel protection resulted highest plant height, maximum branches/plant at harvest, maximum number of umbels/plant, maximum number of seeds/umbel and highest seed yield. Among irrigation methods, low pressure drip irrigation exhibited significantly higher plant height at 60 days after sowing (DAS) as well as at harvest with maximum number of umbels per plant, maximum number of umbellates/umbel and maximum seed yield. On the basis of above study it is concluded that plastic covered walk in tunnel with low pressure drip method of irrigation is best for realizing better plant growth and seed yield of coriander as compared to all other treatments.

Published: July 2023

A 1640-bp full-length cDNA of the 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase gene was cloned from Rehmannia glutinosa L. leaf using RT-PCR and RACE. Bioinformatics analyses indicated that it contained one 1395-bp open reading frameencoding a thiolase of 464 amino acids with the predicted molecular weight of 49 kDa, and had a similarity of 73-82% to other species at the nucleotide level and 63-88% to other species at the amino acid level, respectively. The recombinant RglKAT was expressed in a bacterial system in an active form, analyzed by PAGE-CBB staining and purified using Ni-agarose chromatography. Real Time quantitative PCR analysis showed that relative expression levels of the RglKATgene differed between R.glutinosa tissues, with the highest levels in the petals and the lowest in the early senescing stems. These results revealed that RglKAT gene could be cloned and heterogeneously expressed, and related to R. glutinosa growth and development.

Published: July 2023

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a commodity of high economic significance in India. Its demand and production is increasing more rapidly as compared to other major commodities. It is estimated that by 2025, India would require 50 million metric tonnes (MMT) maize grain, of which 32 MMT would be required in the feed sector, 15 MMT in the industrial sector, 2 MMT as food, and 1 MMT for seed and miscellaneous purposes. Over this, there would be about 10 MMT of export potential also. Thus, in the next 10 years there is a necessity and opportunity for doubling India's maize production from the current level of approximately 25 MMT. Prevalence of yield limiting biotic and abiotic stresses, lower adoption of modern production technologies in certain regions, extension and policy gaps, etc. remain major challenges before the Indian maize sector. Therefore, strong technological and policy interventions would be required to achieve the goal of doubling maize production. By 2025, productivity level of 5-6 tonnes/ha need to be targeted, in order to double the production without significant increase in acreage. Technological interventions like cultivar development and diversification, incorporation of stress resilience in the germplasm, accelerating the breeding process through new tools, and adoption of modern cultivation and protection practices including conservation agriculture technologies would play a key role in increasing the productivity. At the same time, policy interventions like strengthening of post-harvest handling infrastructure, price stabilization mechanisms, and value chains, streamlining of extension system, augmenting hybrid seed delivery mechanisms, appropriate policy on genetically modified seeds etc. will be essentially required.

This experiment was conducted in rainfed semi-arid tropical Alfisol at Hayathnagar Research Farm of Central Research Institute for Dryland Agriculture, Hyderabad, India, during the period 1995 to 2014 to study the long-term effect of conservation agricultural practices on organic and inorganic N fractions in soil, their contribution to available N pool and N uptake in castor (Ricinus communis L.). The experiment was conducted in a strip split-split plot design with conventional tillage (CT) and minimum tillage (MT) as main factors, surface application of sorghum stover @ 2 tonnes/ha (SS), fresh gliricidia loppings @ 2 tonnes/ha (GL) and ‘no’ residue (NR) as sub-factors and levels of N, viz. 0 (N0), 30 (N30), 60 (N60) and 90 (N90) kg N/ha as sub-sub factors. The results of the study revealed that increasing N levels influenced exchangeable ammonical N and nitrate N. Practice of conservation tillage, application of residues and nitrogen significantly influenced the hydrolysable organic N fractions in the soil. Among these, aminoacid N, hexosamine N, hydrolyzable NH 4 + and unidentified N constituted 52%, 8%, 13% and 27% of total hydrolysable N. Linear regression relationship between castor yield and total soil N and N uptake (R2 = 0.998) was found significant. Further, inter correlations between N fractions indicated free mobility among the N fractions. Hence, the build up of N in these pools can be significantly influenced by adoption of appropriate conservation agricultural practices on long term basis in rainfed Alfisols which are highly deficient in available soil N.
Effect of coloured shade nets on yield and quality of pomegranate (Punica granatum) cv. Mridula in semi-arid region of Punjab

Published: July 2023

The productivity of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cv. Mridula was examined under shade nets of different colours (Red, Black and Green) with shade intensities (Red 50% PAR, Black 50% PAR, Green 35% PAR and 50% PAR) in Abohar, Punjab over two growing seasons. To overcome the evaporation losses, use of fogger and microsprinkler was done along with Kaolin 4% and Borax 0.4% to prevent sunburn and cracking problem. An insect net (50 mesh) was also used to prevent the damage from insects especially pomegranate fruit fly. The experimental results clearly showed that photoselective nets influenced photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) transmitted through the canopy which caused variation in average monthly temperature and humidity. The quality of the fruits was affected under the open field conditions as compared to other treatments. Maximum acidity (0.412%), Vitamin C (13.52 mg/100 g), total sugars (13%) and highest antioxidant activity (40.1%) were recorded under open field conditions. Whereas minimum acidity (0.206%), minimum vitamin C (5.80mg/100g), total sugars (6.8%), and total phenols (7.5%) were recorded in the fruits grown under black shade net (50%). On the other hand, the application of shade net had significant impact on the quantitative characteristics. Shading with the net (Red 50%) resulted in the significant increase in the length of the fruits (83.39 mm) along with higher fruit weight (310 g) and highest yield of 6.70 kg/plant as compared to the open field condition (3.14 kg/plant). The results, therefore, demonstrate the potency of photoselective netting (Red colour) for improving the agro-economic performance of horticultural crops especially inharsh climates and arid zones. Placing the red nets over mature plants at intermediate shade levels (35% PAR and 50% PAR) provides higher yield without any detrimental effects on fruit quality.

Published: July 2023

Seed is the first input used in transfer of genetic traits in ornamental plants production. Seed dormancy is a physiological phenomenon in plants, which is caused by external or internal factors, and prevents seed germination, even in optimal conditions. Seed dormancy in flower crops impacts both seed production and germination. It can also complicate assessment of seed quality by the seed analyst who requires prompt germination to evaluate a seed lot. Flower crops display diverse mechanisms for seed dormancy like hard seed coat, immature, rudimentary embryo and inhibitors. It can be broken by soil melting and freezing, microorganism’s activity, forest fires, soil activity and being eaten by animals, in normal conditions. This review surveys and categorizes the different seed dormancy conditions found in flowering plants. Flower genera are listed according to dormancy type. Categories of dormancy include primary and secondary dormancy. Within primary dormancy, examples of flower genera can be found that display exogenous, endogenous and combinational dormancy. Secondary dormancy can be an important problem in selected flower seeds. Specific examples are given for each type of dormancy along with methods to alleviate dormancy.

Authors: GNANASELVI P , SUBRAMANIAN P
Published: July 2023

A study was carried out on production of biodiesel from coconut oil using alkali catalyzed transesterification process by two different reactive distillation columns, viz. sieve tray and bubble-cap tray column. Coconut oil with free fatty acid content of 1.2% was used for transesterification. In laboratory scale batch system, among all the variations adopted, it was found that maximum methyl esters yield of 97.7% was obtained with 6:1 molar ratio of methanol-to-oil, 1% NaOH at 60ºC reaction temperature. A continuous flow transesterification using sieve tray reactive distillation column yielded 93.75% methyl ester with 5.55 min average reaction time at 65ºC under 4:1 molar ratio (methanol-to-oil). The excess alcohol was found to be 11.4 ml. Based on performance evaluation of sieve tray reactive distillation column, a new bubble-cap tray reactive distillation column was designed and developed for continuous biodiesel production. Maximum methyl ester yield was 96.2% with 5.55 min average reaction time at 65ºC under 4:1 molar ratio. Excess alcohol was found to be 17.1 ml. Daily average electricity consumption was found to be 13.6 kWh for continuous transesterification biodiesel production and processing cost was worked out as ` 26.03. Regression analysis was employed to evaluate the effects of molar ratio and temperature on the yield of methyl esters. The R2 value was 0.87 for sieve tray reactive distillation column and 0.92 for bubble-cap reactive distillation column which confirmed the validity of the predicted model. Based on the findings from the study, it was found out that continuous transesterification was more feasible and efficient way for production of biodiesel. It was concluded that bubble-cap tray reactive distillation column was found to be an effective than sieve tray column due to its increased yield (1 time), excess alcohol recovery (1.5 times) and better fuel properties.

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important food crop of India cultivated in an area of 228 000 ha for food, feed and fuel, contributes to food security, equity, poverty alleviation and environmental protection. This study examined the projected climatic changes in the major cassava growing environments of India and also calibrated and evaluated the EcoCrop model to study the impact of 2030 climate on cassava climate suitability in the major growing environments of India. The current climate and future climate projections of 22 GCMs from the SRES-A1B emission scenario were used for the study. The projected change in annual mean temperature and total annual precipitation in the major growing areas ranged from 0.9 to 1.2ºC and from 6.8 to 112.4 mm, respectively. The calibrated data were used to drive the EcoCrop model to find out the suitability of current and future climatic conditions. The change in suitability for all the 22 GCMs used was calculated on pixel basis and the mean suitability change indicate that cassava is actually positively impacted in the current growing areas of India with -2.2 to 15% changes in climate suitability. This study concluded that cassava is potentially highly resilient to future climatic changes and it can become a future crop in India, where other crops would fail due to climate change.

Authors: SANYAL ARCHANA , JOSHI MONIKA A , TOMAR B S , AGGARWAL DIVYA
Published: July 2023

The genetic divergence of 61 extant varieties of rice (Oryza sativa L.) was assessed by using principal component analysis (PCA). The variables considered in the multivariate analyses were morphological, phenological and grain traits. The correlation analysis revealed that a number of traits were directly associated with other traits regardless of plant type or architectural configuration of the whole plant. The first four components in the PC analysis with Eigen values >1 contributed 74.25% of the variability among genotypes evaluated. Across various PCs, each of the accessions contributed both vegetatively and reproductively and in some cases only one-sidedly, either reproductively or vegetatively. The study grouped the genotypes into seven clusters. Cluster I had maximum number of genotypes (17). The cluster VII had second highest number of genotypes (12), while cluster II, III, IV, V, VI contained nine, four, six, five and eight genotypes, respectively. The overall composition of the clustering pattern showed that genotypes collected from the same geographic origin were distributed in different clusters. A critical appraisal of the observations suggested that none of the clusters contained genotypes with all the desirable traits, which could be directly selected and utilized. Hence, depending on the per se performance of the best genotypes within the clusters, they may be directly used for adaptation or maybe used as parents in future breeding programs.

Egyedi tájértékeink, a gémeskutak hazai helyzete az európai uniós szabályozások tükrében : Örökség vagy átok?
Authors: Rákóczi Attila
Published: July 2023

Kutatásunk célja egyik nemzeti értékünk, agrár-kultúrtörténeti emlékünk, a gémeskutak múltjának, jelenének áttekintése, valamint rávilágítani jövőbeni sorsának alakulására az Európai Unió új agrárszabályozási rendszerével, a kölcsönös megfeleltetéssel kapcsolatban. Munkánk során végigtekintjük a gémeskutak kialakulásának történeti hátterét, bemutatjuk, hogy az évszázadok során milyen kapcsolatuk alakult ki az emberi társadalommal. Alapvető funkciójukon kívül, kialakult a hírközlési, művészeti, és tájképi szerepük is. A XX. század végére a technikai fejlődés következtében azonban jelentőségük csökkent, és ezzel párhuzamosan a darabszámuk is visszaesett. Lassan eltűntek a magyar tájról, a magyar pusztáról. Ekkor azonban jelentős változás következett be az Európai Uniós, és így a magyar agrárszabályozásban, mivel 2010-től jogszabály által védendő tájképi elemmé nyilvánították a gémeskutakat, és így a kölcsönös megfeleltetés részévé váltak. Ehhez kapcsolódva a szabályozás betartásának ellenőrzéséhez ki kellett alakítani egy alapadatbázist. Ennek a lényege megállapítani, hogy az egykor nyilvántartott gémeskutak mekkora darabszámban, és milyen állapotban maradtak meg az új évezredre, a szabályozás időpontjára. Ezen folyamat során végigjártuk az egykor nyilvántartott gémeskutakat, és a látottak alapján négy kategóriába soroltuk őket. A kutatás azt az eredményt hozta, hogy Békés megyében az 1950-es években nyilvántartott 762 db gémeskútból, 2010-ben 520 db már nem található meg, 222 db gémeskút megrongálódott, illetve romos állapotban lelhető fel a nyilvántartott helyén. Mindösszesen 20 db olyan gémeskút van a megyében, melyet mind a mai napig használnak, és tökéletes, működőképes állapotban található meg. A vizsgálat összértékelése alapján a gazdálkodók nincsenek felkészülve az új szabályozásra.

Microbial parameters appear to be very useful in monitoring soil contamination by heavy metals. The toxic heavy metals cause serious threat to the environment, Nowadays, the most an important ecological problem is to correct the toxic effect of heavy metals in contaminated soils. In vitro, two strains of Saccharomy ces cerevisiae (NSS5099 and NSS7002) were tested in order to investigate their tolerance to heavy metals. The growth kinetics of two yeast strains in contaminated growth media by Cu2+, Pb2+, Cd2+ and Ni2+ were studied at 50 µM. The toxicity decreasing order of the investigated heavy metal salts on tested yeast strains was found to be Cu2+ > Pb2+ > Cd2+ > Ni2+. Ions of Cu2+, Pb2+ and Cd2+ at 350 µM and Ni2+ at 450 µM induced a decrease in the number of viable cells by 50% after 48 h incubation at 25°C. The addition of 50 mM Ca(HCO3)2, 75 mM MgSO , or 150 mM K SO in the growth broth medium before addition of 350 µM Cu2+, Pb2+ and Cd2+ or 450 µM Ni2+ shows a protective action against cell death and decreased the toxicity effect. The addition of alkaline metals reduced the effect of 350 and 450 µM of all investigated metals by 40%. The results obtained in the presented study exhibit the higher potentiality of S. cerevisiae strain NSS7002 than the strain NSS5099 to be used for decontamination of soil containing heavy metal ions. Further task is going to examine the range of metal bioaccumulation in the yeast cells and the ability of these strains to be environmental bioremediators.
Biodízel-eredetű melléktermék hatásának vizsgálata a parlagfű (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) csírázására tenyészedényes kísérletben
Authors: Csontos Péter , Pocsai Károly
Published: July 2023

Vizsgálataink során a biodízel-gyártás melléktermékeként keletkező szappanos olaj (SZO) hatását vizsgáltuk a parlagfű csírázására. A kezeléseket háromféle dózisban (2500, 5000 és 10000 liter/Ha) alkalmaztuk, felületarányosan, tenyészedényes kísérletben. A kezelések mellé azonos eredetű talajjal feltöltött, de SZO kezelésben nem részesített kontroll csoportot is beállítottunk. A hidegkezelésen is átesett parlagfű kaszatok csírázását 40 napon keresztül vizsgáltuk.Eredményeink szerint a parlagfű mind a négy vizsgált talajmintán (3 kezelés és 1 kontroll) csírázott, de a csírázás sikeressége nem volt azonos az egyes talajmintákra vonatkozóan. A legtöbb csíranövényt a kontroll-, a legkevesebbet a 2500 l/Ha SZO dózisú kezelésnél figyeltük meg. A talajminták a kaszatok csírázási sikere szerint a 2500 < 10000 < 5000 < kontroll sorrendbe állíthatók. A sor két végén álló talajok között (2500 l/Ha, illetve kontroll) a parlagfű csírázási sikere tekintetében erős szignifikáns eltérést mutattunk ki. A 10000 l/Ha és a kontroll talaj között kisebb mértékű, de szintén szignifikáns különbség mutatkozott. Az 5000 l/Ha SZO dózist kapott talajmintán a parlagfű csírázása „köztes” képet mutatott, semelyik más kezeléstől nem különbözött szignifikánsan.A fentiek alapján lehetőséget látunk a SZO-oldat használatára a gyomnövények elleni kűzdelemben. E cél eléréséhez a kutatás jövőbeni lépéseit ki kell terjeszteni a felhasznált ipari melléktermékben ténylegesen ható komponensek kémiai azonosítására, valamint annak vizsgálatára, hogy a termeszteni kívánt haszonnövények csírázására milyen hatása lehet a SZO-oldatnak.

A regenerálódó szárazgyepeket gyakran fenyegeti az inváziós fajok terjedése, mint a siska nádtippan (Calamagrostis epigeios), amely képes lassítani, illetve megállítani a másodlagos szukcesszió menetét. Ebben a cikkünkben egy 9 éve folyó kísérletről számolunk be, amelynek során megpróbáljuk a C. epigeios terjedését visszaszorítani. A vizsgálati területet egy 30−35 éve felhagyott szőlőben jelöltük ki, a NyugatCserhátban. Az állomány nagy részét sűrű siska nádtippan borította. A kísérleti elrendezés 16 állandó kvadrátból áll, amelyek 3×3 méter kiterjedésűek. A kvadrátok felét évente kétszer kaszáltuk (júniusban és szeptemberben), a másik felük kontroll volt, kezelés nélkül. A kaszálás előtt a központi 2×2 méteres részen vettünk fel cönológiai felvételt a fajok %-os borítását becsülve, kaszáltban és kontrollban egyaránt 2001 és 2009 között. A kaszálás hatását ismétléses variancia analízissel teszteltük (repeated–measure ANOVA). Post hoc tesztként Tukey HSD (honestly significant difference) tesztet alkalmaztunk. A C. epigeios szignifikáns csökkenése már 2 évvel az első kaszálás után megmutatkozott. A fajszám azonban csak 4 év után kezdett emelkedni, míg a diverzitás (Shannondiverzitás) nyolc 8 év után. Időközben a természetes célfaj, a tollas szálkaperje (Brachypodium pinnatum) vált uralkodóvá. Hasonló trend volt megfigyelhető a kontroll kvadrátokban is a spontán szukcesszió során, bár jóval lassabban. Megfigyeléseink szerint a C. epigeios spontán módon, magától is eltűnhet a szukcesszió során. Ugyanakkor az évi kétszeri kaszálás felgyorsítja ezt a folyamatot, úgynevezetett kolonizációs ablak, “colonization window” nyitásával, ahová az értékesebb gyepfajok be tudnak települni. Tapasztalataink szerint a C. epigeios sikeres visszaszorításához a kaszálást legalább 8 évig kellene fenntartani.
A Balaton-felvidéki pusztuló feketefenyvesek átalakulása lombos erdővé
Authors: Szekrényes Tamás
Published: July 2023

A Balaton-felvidéken az elmúlt évtizedben a feketefenyő állományok pusztulásából kifolyólag felmerült az állományaik átalakítása. A feketefenyő-cser szerkezet-váltás vizsgálati módszerének meghatározását követően négy éven keresztül adat felvételezés történt Balatonakali községhatár 9 erdőrészletében. Az adatok feldolgozásának célja a létrejött fiatal erdők újulatának értékelése a hektáronkénti darabszámon és a csemeték magassági adatainak, valamint a növekedés dinamikájának vizsgálatán keresztül. A magassági és hektáronkénti darabszám adatok összevetése azt a következtetést eredményezte a szerző számára, hogy a nehéz természeti környezet ellenére a természetes felújulási folyamat által létrejött fiatal erdők magabiztosan megfelelnek a hatályban lévő törvényi előírásoknak. Rendkívül magas, az előírt egyedszámnál lényegesebb több csemete található, amely megfelelő arányban tartalmazza a célállomány típusnak megfelelő fő és mellék fafajokat, valamint a magassági adatok és a növekedés dinamikája is megfelelő.A szerző tapasztalatai és a nemzetközi szakirodalom alapján kijelenthető, hogy a természetes alátelepülésben a szajkó (Garrulus glandarius) játszik fontos szerepet. A feketefenyő-cser szerkezetváltással érintett régiókban a szajkó kíméletet érdemel, és nem szabad dúvadként kezelni, irtani.
Területhasználat-változás a Maros egy hullámtéri öblözetében a XIX. századtól napjainkig
Authors: Oroszi Viktor György , Kiss Tímea
Published: July 2023

Kutatásaink során fel kívántuk tárni a Maros szabályozását megelőző környezeti állapotokat, valamint az azt követő változásokat, mindez ugyanis szoros összefüggésben van a folyó hullámterének eltérő geomorfológiai képződményein történő akkumulációval. Mivel a növényzetnek jelentős szerepe van a hullámtér érdességi tényezőjének meghatározásában, az áradások során felhalmozódó üledékanyag mintázatát és mennyiségét is befolyásolja, más egyéb paraméterekkel együtt. Emellett az egykori folyókanyarulatokban végzett palynologiai vizsgálataink értékelését is megkönnyíti, folyóvízi környezetben ugyanis a helyi vegetáció uralkodó jellegét módosítják az áradások során nagyobb távolságokból szállított allochton pollenek.
A természeti környezet – környezetpszichológiai megközelítésben
Authors: Dúll Andrea , Dósa Zsuzsanna
Published: July 2023

A természetes/épített környezet megkülönböztetése számos környezetpszichológiai elmélet (vö. Dúll, 2001) alapja. Ezeknek a teóriáknak fontos jellegzetessége, hogy – különböző módon ugyan, de – szorosan összekapcsolhatók a pszichológia egyéb területeinek egészséggel és életminőséggel kapcsolatos megfontolásaival. A természeti környezet pszichológiájával kapcsolatban két nagyobb területet vizsgálnak a kutatások: az attitűdöket (értékelő viszonyulásokat, pl. elégedettség a környezettel, természetvédelem, környezeti problémák kérdése), és a környezeti preferenciákat. Utóbbi preferencia-kutatások jellegzetesen evolúciós szemléletűek: az elképzelések szerint a jelenlegi tájpreferenciák adaptivitásuk miatt alakultak ki. Az ún. zöld élmények és az ezekkel kapcsolatos környezetpszichológiai eredmények közelebb visznek az ember pihenési, rekreációs viselkedésének, és a természeti környezet ebben betöltött szerepének megértéséhez is.
