Global changes involves adaptation and updated knowledge about the systems affected by these changes. Due to innovation and population growth also, the land cover pattern is exposed to modify its components, both natural and artificial, with implication for the several fields of Earth Sciences. Here, we present the spatial distribution of the land cover evapotranspiration coefficients (K clc ) in one of the most dynamic and important territory from Europe, in Paris metropolitan area. Specified crop coefficients were analysed for different crops and vegetative areas, but also the evapotranspiration coefficients related to the urban areas, bare soils and rocks, open water and rivers were presented in the present paper. The investigation has included the review and the adapted analysis of the land cover coefficients taken from the specific literature. Using the ArcGIS environment, the spatial distribution of the land cover coefficients related to four seasons (initial season, mid-season, end-season, and cold season) was carried out. The main results indicate maximum values up to 1.6 of the K clc in the mid-season, for the areas occupied by the broad-leaved forest. In the same season, the K clc high values of 1.35 and 1.5 spread in the areas covered by complex cultivation patterns, non-irrigated arable land, respective by mixed forest. The initial season presents values of K clc that range from 0.1 to 1.3, while in the end season the land cover coefficients range from 0.2 to 1.5. The cold season indicates the lower values in major part of the Paris metropolitan area with few locations, in the South and East sides of the study area, where the coefficient reaches value 1. This work highlights the variation of the crop coefficients, but also of different land cover types in the metropolitan area of Paris with implications for agriculture management, hydrogeologists, and climatologists. Further investigations will include evapotranspiration calculations and climate effects assessment on the water resources in this area

The paper includes a description of 25-five interlocked boulder block ramps with increased roughness located on Porebianka creek and presents an analysis how those low head hydraulic structures fit to a natural river system: riffle-pool. These block ramps with increased roughness structures might be called "close to the nature", and in hydraulics engineering they are replacing traditional drop hydraulic structures. One of the main advantages of block ramps is that they are supposed to be placed in a natural sequence distances which follows pools and riffles pattern along a river, also block ramps allows free movement of fish upstream and downstream without necessity of fish pass construction

This paper summarizes results from a landscape archaeology research project that explores the ways in which ancient Romans from the territory of Dacia Porolissensis (Romania) used and modified the environment around them. Based on LiDAR-derived data (Light Detection and Ranging) for accurate archaeological, geomorphological and vegetation feature detection, the most probable effects of past human land-use on the present landscape values are assessed. Knowledge of human disturbance periods, land-use history and their corresponding legacies is vital for evaluating habitat resilience and predicting future ecosystem services (Glenn et al. 1999; Foster 2003; Ritter 2011).
本文总结了一项景观考古研究项目的成果,该项目探索了罗马尼亚达契亚波罗利森西斯(Dacia Porolissensis)地区的古罗马人利用和改造周围环境的方式。基于精确的考古、地貌和植被特征检测的激光雷达数据(光探测和测距),评估了过去人类土地利用对当前景观价值的最可能影响。了解人类干扰期、土地利用历史及其相应的遗产对于评估生境恢复力和预测未来生态系统服务至关重要(Glenn et al. 1999;培养2003;里特2011年)。

This paper presents a high resolution, multi-proxy palaeoenvironmental reconstruction (pollen, dung fungal spores, micro and macro-charcoal, mineral magnetic properties and geochemistry) in three sedimentary sequences located at different elevations across the Northern Carpathians (Romania) over the Late Holocene (i.e. the last 4000 years). We aim to: i) determine what aspects of prehistoric and historic human activity (e.g. burning, clearing, grazing) have shaped the landscapes of today, and ii) use this information to facilitate their environmental management and conservation strategies to maintain the ecological and economic sustainability of extant habitats in the currently changing environment

This study originated in the necessity to identify usable bioclimatic indexes with good results in the overall bioclimatic characterization of Moldova west of the Prut River (hereinafter Moldova). For reasons related to the extent of the text, we have analyzed only a part of the bioclimatic indexes known in the literature (TEE - Equivalent Effective Temperature, THI - Thermo-hygrometric index, DI THOM - Thom Discomfort Index, RSI - Relative Strain Index, HI - Heat index, HUMIDEX - HUMIDEX index, SSI - Summer SIMMER Index, ISE - Summer SCHARLAU Index, ISH - Winter SCHARLAU index and Pr - Wind-chill Index). Considering the large number of indexes (which vary in their structure and limitations of use) and a representative number of stations (14 stations), we have based our analytical approach on a standard time interval equal to one month. We have thus acquired a temporal resolution that enables us to identify the representativeness or non-representativeness of these indexes for Moldova and also their relevance / usefulness in depicting distinctive or detailed features of the Moldova bioclimate

A particular environmental feature of the northern part of Moldavian Plateau (NE Romania) is the large number of anthropic lakes along river courses. Even more, due to climatic, hydrological, hydrogeological and geomorphological settings and human activities (dominated by an extensive agriculture) this characteristic was mentioned and mapped in writen records and cartographic representations in many historical stages of the humanization of this region. The need for watter supply have forced the inhabitants to build dams of various sizes along the entire river network. Over the time, many dams were abandoned, while others have been relocated with a impresive dynamic at historical time scale

The study aimed to show if the permanent forests are different from the forests that growed on former agricultural land in the Bieszczady Mountains, southeastern Poland. It is important to investigate how different tree species react in former agriculture land and which are more adaptable to the given environmental conditions, in order to choose the most appropriate tree species and to develop strategies for optimal restoration of forest ecosystems. The results show differences in forest structure and parameters between the two categories. The post-agricultural forest had a much wide variety of tree species and a higher Shannon-Weaver diversity index value (3.06 vs. 2.53). The density of live stems were insignificant higher in the post-agricultural forest, but the total live volume per hectare was higher in the permanent forest, with a difference between hardwood species, which had higher values in the post-agricultural forest, and softwood species which had a higher live volume in the permanent forest. However, the density and volume of snags were found to be much higher in the post-agricultural forest

Two kinds of paleogeographic records from the Middle Pleistocene were recently first discovered in the Bukovinian foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, not far downstream from the confluence of the Prut and Cheremosh Rivers. The area of investigation is associated with the lower Brusnytsia River, the right tributary of the Prut River (fig. 1). Due to the active tectonic uplift, wide spread of dispersal Neogenic and Quaternary sediments, and comparatively wet climate, the whole area of the Prut and Siret rivers’ interfluve is strongly damaged by landslides. Therefore it is quit problematic to find undisturbed Quaternary river terrace sequences in the area. Generally, the territory is characterized by the lack of Quaternary records at all. Only few Late Paleolithic sites without geological sequence were known few kilometers downstream the Prut R. Moreover it was important to look for the evidence of the Middle Pleistocene there
