Bryophyte and lichen flora of the Colca Canyon (Peru) - reconnaissance research

Artykuł jest pierwszym doniesieniem o długofalowym projekcie, mającym na celu poznanie różnorodności gatunkowej mszaków i porostów na obszarze projektowanego Parku Narodowego Kanion Colca i Dolina Wulkanów (Arequipa, Peru) oraz ich ekologii w kontekście zróżnicowania środowiska abiotycznego. Środowisko przyrodnicze tego najgłębszego kanionu świata nie doczekało się dotychczas kompleksowego opracowania flory mszaków i porostów. Już na podstawie wstępnych obserwacji stwierdzono ich znaczący udział w szacie roślinnej tego obszaru oraz potencjalnie duże bogactwo gatunkowe wynikające ze znacznego zróżnicowania siedlisk. Istotnym wynikiem rozpoczętych badań jest odkrycie pierwszych stanowisk porostów Lecanora leuckertiana w Ameryce Południowej i Lepraria impossibilis na Półkuli Południowej. Dalsze badania powinny zaowocować opracowaniem pełnej listy gatunków mszaków i porostów Parku Narodowego Kanion Colca i Dolina Wulkanów oraz dostarczyć argumentów do ochrony jego unikalnej przyrody.The paper is a preliminary report of a long-term project that aims at completing the flora of bryophytes and lichens in the projected Canyon Colca and the Valley of the Volcanoes National Park area (Arequipa, Peru). The bryophytes and lichens of this deepest canyon in the world has remained underexplored for a long time. These organisms dominate in the vegetation cover and exhibit a remarkable species diversity resulting from habitat richness in this area. The important result of preliminary studies was discovered the first records of lichens Lecanora leuckertiana in South America and Lepraria impossibilis in the Southern Hemisphere. Further researeh should result in completing floristic lists of bryophytes and lichens of the Canyon Colca and the Valley of the Volcanoes National Park and should provide arguments for the protection of its unique wild life

Determination of fluoride in highly salinated waters by ion chromatography method with use of solid phase extraction for sample preparation

Jedną z najpopularniejszych metod usuwania substancji przeszkadzających w oznaczaniu anionów z wykorzystaniem chromatografii jonowej jest zastosowanie ekstrakcji do fazy stałej (ang. Solid Phase Extraction, SPE). W pracy przedstawiono ocenę możliwości wykorzystania wymieniaczy kationowych z grupami funkcyjnymi w postaci Ag+ i Na+ do oznaczania fluorków w obecności dużych stężeń chlorków w wodach kopalnianych. Rozdzielanie anionów przeprowadzano w układzie gradientowym na kolumnie rozdzielającej IonPac AS19 z wykorzystaniem chromatografu jonowego ICS-2500 (Dionex). Jako fazę ruchomą zastosowano roztwór wodorotlenku potasu. Fluorki po rozdzieleniu oznaczano za pomocą detektora konduktometrycznego z supresją.Badania przeprowadzone dla wód kopalnianych o przewodności elektrycznej właściwej w zakresie (12 700 - 155 000) µS/cm oraz dla syntetycznej solanki o zawartości 38 820 mg/L Cl- i 3 408 mg/L SO4 2- potwierdziły przydatność zastosowanych wymieniaczy kationowych do zminimalizowania wpływu matrycy na wynik oznaczania fluorków.Wartości podstawowych cech ilościowych zastosowanej metody z ekstrakcją do fazy stałej, m.in. granica oznaczalności (0,02 mg/L), precyzja (- and 3 408 mg/L SO4 2-) confirmed usefulness of cartridges containing a cation-exchange resin for minimizing matrix influence on results of fluoride determination. The ion chromatography method accompanied by solid phase extraction for sample preparation proved to be very useful for determination of fluoride in highly salinated waters (i.e. mine waters) because of low detection limit (0,02 mg/L), good precision (< 2,5 %) and accuracy (recovery 91 % – 104 %)
