Conservation Status of Some Peatbogs in Maramureş County

Oana Danci

Abstract: This study presents the results obtained using natural zeolites for retaining heavy metals from the Maramureş rivers affected by the mining activities. Natural zeolites from the northwest Transsylvania have been tested, i.e. zeolite from Călineşti-Maramureş and two sorts of zeolites manufactured by SC Zeolitos SRL Oradea. Natural zeolites represint a technical and economical alternative to ion-exchange synthetic resins and classical waste water technologies. Heavy-metal containing wates from Cisla, Burloaia, C… Show more

Heather (Calluna vulgaris) supports spider diversity of oligotrophic peat bogs

The heterogeneity of microhabitats is an important driver of biodiversity. Therefore, conserving habitat heterogeneity at multiple spatial scales is essential to biodiversity conservation. This study investigates the effect and the conservation value of micromosaic heterogeneity provided by the heather (Calluna vulgaris) patches in an Eastern-European peat bog on the spider communities. We found that the heather patches strongly affect spiders; the species richness and abundance were higher in heather than in open bogs. Heather shrubs form a separate special microhabitat, which differs in structure, microclimate and litter quality, and has a significant positive effect on diversity of spiders. Furthermore, we collected smaller spiders and more web builders in heather sites than in control sites, presumably due to the different microhabitat structures and prey availability. However, habitat type did not affect the vertical microhabitat preference of spiders. The species composition of spider communities differed between the two microhabitat types. We identified seven significant indicator species in heather shrubs, whereas three species were significant indicators of control sites. The species richness and the presence of rare and endangered peat bog specialist spider species in heather patches highlight the high conservation value of peat bogs.

The study and conservation of biological diversity remains a priority for modern biology. Despite the high degree of species diversity and ubiquity the Staphylinidae family is still one of the least studied groups in the animal world. The material that has formed the basis of the publication was collected with the help of Barber traps during two years in the permanent trial areas of the Polonynskyi ridge, namely: in forests, on the border of forests and meadows, forests and mountain meadows, ecotones and mountain meadows. For the first time, an inventory of the fauna of the Staphylinidae beetles of the upper forest belt of the Polonynskyi ridge has been carried out. As a result of the conducted research, the data on the species composition of the Staphylinidae beetles were significantly supplemented and specified, and 91 species belonging to 10 subfamilies were identified (Scaphidiinae – 2 species, Phloeocharinae – 1 species, Proteininae – 2 species, Omaliinae – 6 species, Oxytelinae – 4 species, Oxyporinae – 1 вид, Paederinae – 3 species, Staphylininae – 34 species, Tachyporinae – 14 species, Aleocharinae – 24 species). Among the identified species, two species – Plataraea elegans and Schistoglossa drusilloides – are listed for the fauna of Ukraine for the first time, and 58 species for the first time for the fauna of Uzhansky NNP, one species – Xantholinus azuganus azuganus – is endemic to the Carpathians, and one species – Velleius dilatatus – is listed in the Red Book of the Ukrainian Carpathians. Based on the research and analysis of literature and other sources, an annotated list of identified species has been compiled, which contains information about the findings of species, synonymy, bionomy and distribution of the species. The results can be used to address a number of theoretical issues of faunology, zoogeography, ecology, in compiling the inventory of fauna of the Ukrainian Carpathians, for comparative faunistic research, in the analysis of species distribution, as well as in biogeographic constructions, study of faunogenesis, ecological monitoring and prediction of consequences of the influence of human activities on the natural ecosystems of the region.
