The development of periglacial sedimentation in the Wolica Valley (SE Poland) during the Weichselian Upper Pleniglacial

The development of the Weichselian Upper Pleniglacial periglacial sedimentation in the Wolica Valley was evaluated by means of geomorphological, geological and sedimentological investigation. Sediments of the medium (II) raised terrace, the surface area of which is a dominant element of the valley, were examined. The terrace has a complex structure comprising deposits of different age, lithology and origin. The basal part of the terrace is formed from terrace remnants from the Middle Pleniglacial and the phase before maximum cold of the Upper Pleniglacial. The base consists of sandy channel deposits and silty-sandy floodplain deposits. The upper part of the terrace is a thick series of deposits from the phase after maximum cold. It is built from slope, floodplain and channel deposits, as well as alluvial fans. The complexity of the structure results from the specific character of periglacial processes and their rhythmical course, as well as from the influence of local conditions. The deposits of the basal part of the terrace were shaped in a subpolar climate with maritime features, whereas the sediments of its upper part formed in continental subpolar climate. Local factors, such as: lithology of rocks in the river drainage basin, a dense network of valleys in the basin and alluvial fans, determined the suspension type of transport, the shape of the river channel and retention of a large amount of sediment in the Wolica drainage basin and on its valley-floor

Conditions for the development of load-cast structures in alluvial sedi- ments of the Wisłok River valley near Rzeszów (south-eastern Poland)

The article presents the results of geological and geomorphological research concerning load-cast structures outcropping in the alluvial terrace sediments of theWisłok River in the Fore-Carpathian Erosional Valley. Given the large dimensions of these structures, reaching 1.5 m in some places, as well as their strong accumulation and diversity (i.e. drop-like and pocket-like structures), the authors attempted to establish the environmental factors that had determined the development of the structures in periglacial deposits of the Weichselian Glaciation. The structures were analysed in two accessible outcrops where sediments are represented by flood rhythmite and organic deposits, overlain by channel sands. Sandy load-cast structures occur in flood rhythmite and loamy deposits. The formation of load-cast structures probably started due to earthquakes in the Upper Pleniglacial period. The various shapes of load-cast structures were constrained by the various physical properties of the sediments and the escape of water during the deformation process

Phases of gully erosion recorded in alluvial fans (Lublin Upland, E Poland)

The study was focused on the alluvial fans formed in the bottom of the Bystra river valley. A detailed analysis of four fans allowed to distinguish several phases of gully erosion related to human activity. The gullies started to develop in the Neolithis times, the subsequent phases of gully erosion could be dated to: Bronze Age, Middle Ages. In modern times, most of the sediments have been retained within the extensive gully systems

The hazel dormouse Muscardinus avellanarius in the diet of the red fox Vulpes vulpes and pine marten Martes martes in the Tatra National Park

The material for the analysis of the red fox Vulpes vulpes and pine marten Martes martes diet was collected in the Tatra National Park in summer 2019. The determination of prey species was based on the analysis of undigested remains and DNA metabarcoding. The hazel dormouse remains were recorded in * ve samples of the red fox and one sample of the pine marten scats. The species was present in the diet of those predators from June to September based on the material collected in the central part of the Tatra Mountains. It is the first record of the hazel dormouse in the diet of the red fox and pine marten in the Tatra Mountains
