  - SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT - Year 2022

  Seagrasses are in decline worldwide, and their restoration is relatively expensive and unsuccessful compared to other coastal systems. Fertilization can improve seagrass growth in restoration but can also release nutrients and pollute the surrounding ecosystem. A slow-release fertilizer may reduce excessive nutrient discharge while still providing resources to the seagrass's rhizosphere. In this study, struvite (magnesium ammonium...

  - ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH - Year 2015

  This study presents the first report on bacterial communities in the sediments of eelgrass (Zostera marina) meadows in the shallow southern Baltic Sea (Puck Bay). Total bacterial cell numbers (TBNs) and bacteria biomass (BBM) assessed with the use of epifluorescence microscope and Norland’s formula were compared between bare and vegetated sediments at two localities and in two sampling summer months. Significantly higher TBNs and...

  - Year 2008

  W artykule przedstawiono koncepcję wykorzystania otwartego oprogramowania dostępnego poprzez interfejs WWW służącego do analizy materiału zebranego przez echosondy jednowiązkowe i sonary boczne pod kątem klasyfikacji rozmiaru wystąpienia traw morskich Posidonia Oceanica. Jako przyklad przedstawiono analizę danych z sonaru bocznego zebranych w zatoce Cabo de Gata.

  - CELLULOSE - Year 2019

  In this work, liquefied biomass from the Baltic Sea was used for the preparation of rigid polyurethane (PUR) foams. The biomass contained 10 wt% of Enteromorpha macroalgae and 90 wt% of Zostera marina seagrass characterized by a high content of cellulose. The influence of time, temperature and the type of solvent on the efficiency of the liquefaction process and properties of biopolyols was determined. Obtained materials were analyzed...
