TY - GEN N2 - In the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship there are numerous former towns possessing a village status nowadays. Most of them were deprived of town privileges between 1869 and 1870, under the Russian regulation. These sites lost the characteristics of urban areas in the slightest degree. The paper analyzes the infrastructure and functional, morphological and demographic situation of such villages. Some of them were identified as having a chance to regain the town rights.

The trajectories of pasture landscape changes, the factors threatening and supporting the pastures’ traditional use have been established on the basis of archival and contemporary cartographic materials, historical scientific works and archival photographs. An attempt has also been made to assess pasture landscape durability. The major part of the former pasture landscape has evolved into forest or settlement landscapes. The pasture landscape durability will only be possible if the operations supporting the traditional mountain grazing are continued.

One of the main distinguishing characteristics of agricultural production is its nature and strong dependence on the environmental conditions. These conditions determine to a large extent, the nature of agricultural production and its structure (crop/animal). The accession of Poland to the EU in 2004 and access to EU funds (subsidies for farmers under different EU programs) often were the cause of change in the current profile of farm activities. Therefore, it seems reasonable to examine the changes in the specialization of agricultural production in Poland after 2004. The aim of this study is to answer the following questions: (1) Is there (and if, how strong) concentration of each of the main types of agricultural production in Poland, (2) What is the nature of this production in selected spatial units. The analysis was conducted based on data on the volume of commodity agricultural production in years 2004–2014, the data used in the study was derived from the Local Data Bank of the Central Statistical Office in Poland. Specialization was determined using the Krugman index of regional specialization.

The study area was located near Rogajny in the Suwałki Lake District, where 54 permanent study plots were established in a homogeneous field (Dd) and in a mosaic of small fields and balks (Dm). The earthworms were collected in spring and autumn over a two-year period (2007–2008), from blocks of soil measuring 25×25×30 cm. Soil samples were collected from the same sampling points as the earthworms. Both, qualitative and quantitative parameters of earthworm assemblages showed the same trends, thus appearing to be equally reflective. The complex arable landscape site supported higher earthworm diversity, abundance and biomass than the homogeneous arable landscape. The spring and autumn earthworm sampling campaigns revealed very different patterns. We conclude that species richness is determined mostly by spatial structure of agrocenosis mosaics, whilst abundance and biomass of earthworm community is mainly influenced by soil conditions. Comparisons between data and formulating conclusions should be made with great care, as these relations depend on the temporal scales to a large extent.
