ENVIRONMENT

The research area of the laboratory (Department of Bioengineering/Laboratory of Physics and Agrophysics) covers the main two topics:
- the use of spectroscopic methods as the management tool for monitoring both terrestrial and aquatic environment regarding to properties of organic matter compounds;
- the biological characterization and adaptation of crop plants to changing environmental conditions under abiotic stress: salinity, water deficit, irradiation of UV-B and interaction of these factors as multistress.

Research directions of Department of Ecology and Anthropology are focused on:
- behavioural ecology of foraging birds in the feeders,
- ecology of the breeding and migration of C. ciconia,
- ecology of geese migration and stopovering,
- ecology of waterbirds (climate change and shift of species range, monitoring, foraging ecology, flooding and breeding riparian birds),
- migratory movement and wintering of the avian raptors, 
- photo-traps studies: monitoring, behavioural ecology of C. clanga, C. pomarina,
