OD AUTORKI Forest Terminology in Use to kolejna publikacja z serii poświęconej angielskiej terminologii leśnej, przeznaczona dla studentów leśnictwa, doktorantów oraz leśników praktyków, którzy chcą pogłębiać swoją wiedzę z tego zakresu. Książka łączy w spójną całość wszystkie wydane do tej pory publikacje: Basic Forest Vocabulary, English in Forestry oraz Thematic Forest Dictionary. Ujęty w nich zakres materiału jest niezwykle obszerny i różnorodny, zatem aby ułatwić czytelnikowi sprawne korzystanie z tego zasobu, wszelkie korelacje pomiędzy poszczególnymi publikacjami przedstawione są w funkcjonalnej tabeli, szczegółowo informującej o możliwości zastosowania dodatkowych ćwiczeń wprowadzających lub uzupełniających. Basic Forest Vocabulary oraz English in Forestry poświęcone są wprowadzaniu fachowego słownictwa za pomocą krótkich tekstów, natomiast niniejsza publikacja ma na celu nie tylko ugruntowanie, ale także pogłębianie nabytej już wiedzy, poprzez praktyczne ćwiczenia o różnorodnej formie i bogatej treści. W odróżnieniu od wcześniej wspomnianych książek, Forest Terminology in Use nie posiada słowniczka, dlatego też w razie problemów ze zrozumieniem poszczególnych słów i terminów polecam dwujęzyczny Thematic Forest Dictionary, zaopatrzony w polski i angielski indeks haseł, który dostępny jest na stronie internetowej Lasów Państwowych. Książka ta, jak i poprzednie, nie powstałaby bez pomocy wielu osób, na które mogłam liczyć podczas wszystkich etapów jej tworzenia. Dziękuję Zespołowi Wydawnictw w Centrum Informacyjnym Lasów Państwowych za poparcie idei jej wydania oraz późniejszą współpracę redakcyjną i edytorską. Chciałabym szczególnie serdecznie podziękować Panu prof. dr. hab. Piotrowi Grubie z Wydziału Leśnego Uniwersytetu Rolniczego w Krakowie za fachową, rzetelną i owocną konsultację merytoryczną z dziedziny leśnictwa oraz Panu Ramonowi Shindlerowi z Instytutu Filologii Angielskiej Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego za konstruktywną recenzję metodyczną oraz korektę językową.

PLANTS XIX. Translate into English. 1. Taksonomia jest sposobem klasyfikowania roślin ze względu na ich podobieństwa. Rośliny, które mają te same cechy należą do jednej grupy taksonomicznej zwanej jednostką. Taksonomia jest hierarchiczna w swojej naturze. Główne kategorie taksonomiczne to: gatunek, rodzaj, rodzina, rząd, klasa, typ i królestwo. 2. Drzewa mogą być sklasyfikowane na wiele sposobów biorąc pod uwagę ich taksonomię lub ich cechy biologiczne, które dostarczają praktycznych informacji takich jak twardość drewna, długość życia drzewa, tempo wzrostu, rodzaj systemu korzeniowego, tolerancja lub jej brak w stosunku do zacienienia, wymieniając tylko kilka. 3. Klasyfikacja botaniczna dzieli rośliny na dwie grupy: nagonasienne, które mają nasiona nie otoczone żadnymi tkankami ochronnymi i okrytonasienne których nasiona są zamknięte w dojrzałej zalążni. 4. Nagonasienne w Polsce są reprezentowane przez rośliny iglaste takie jak sosna, świerk, jodła, modrzew i daglezja/jedlica. Jednakże są jeszcze inne rośliny, które należą do nagonasiennych, ale które nie wytwarzają typowych szyszek i liści np. cis z charakterystycznymi intensywnie czerwonymi osnówkami lub miłorząb, który nie wytwarza igieł, ale wachlarzowate liście podzielone na dwie klapki. 5. Rozmieszczenie kwiatów to następne kryterium botanicznej klasyfikacji roślin. Jeżeli jedna roślina posiada zarówno męskie, jak i żeńskie kwiaty to wtedy nazywana jest ona jednopienną. W przypadku roślin dwupiennych istnieją osobne rośliny męskie i żeńskie. Sosna, brzoza i buk to przykłady roślin jednopiennych, topola i wierzba – dwupiennych. 6. Okrytonasienne dzielą się na jednoliścienne – rośliny, których nasiona mają jeden liścień, oraz dwuliścienne, których nasiona mają dwa liścienie. 7. Jednoliścienne mają liście o równoległym użyłkowaniu. Obejmują one zarówno rośliny zdrewniałe, takie jak palmy, jak również małe rośliny zielne, takie jak trawy. 8. Mszaki i paprotniki są roślinami zarodnikowymi, co oznacza, że rozmnażają się przez zarodniki i nie wytwarzają nasion. 9. Paprocie, widłaki i skrzypy są przedstawicielami paprotników, podczas gdy mchy i wątrobowce są przykładami mszaków. 10. Rośliny wytwarzają różne typy kwiatów. Istnieje bezpośredni związek pomiędzy wielkością, kształtem i kolorem kwiatu, a sposobem w jaki pyłek 54

Forest terminology in use 2020.indd 54

26.11.2020 18:08:49

PLANTS jest przenoszony z pręcika na słupek a dokładniej na znamię. Rośliny zapylane przez owady wytwarzają pachnące kwiaty z kolorowymi płatkami w celu przyciągnięcia owadów zapylających, podczas gdy gatunki zapylane przez wiatr mają niepozorne kwiaty. 11. Kolor kwiatów może być pożyteczny w rozpoznawaniu roślin. Na przykład czosnek niedźwiedzi, szczawik zajęczy, gwiazdnica pospolita i konwalia mają białe kwiaty; wierzbówka kiprzyca, naparstnica purpurowa – fioletoworóżowe/ purpurowe; barwinek pospolity i niezapominajka – niebieskie; żarnowiec miotlasty, kaczeniec, dziurawiec, glistnik jaskółcze ziele i pięciornik leśny – żółte. 12. Wiele roślin leśnych ma właściwości lecznicze. Rumianek ma właściwości przeciwzapalne, mięta pomaga w niestrawności, jemioła obniża ciśnienie krwi, chmiel jest skuteczny w bezsenności i niepokoju, arcydzięgiel litwor zwiększa apetyt. 13. Dąb szypułkowy jest często mylony z dębem bezszypułkowym ponieważ oba mają klapowane liście. Jednakże ten pierwszy ma liście z bardzo krótkimi ogonkami i żołędzie na szypułkach dłuższych niż 5 cm, podczas gdy ten drugi ma prawie siedzące żołędzie i liście z dłuższymi ogonkami. 14. Olsza czarna i szara są typowymi składnikami lasów łęgowych. Korzenie obu gatunków dobrze stabilizują drzewa w wilgotnej glebie ponieważ są one silne i pionowe. Co więcej potrafią one wiązać azot z powietrza i w ten sposób wzbogacają glebę w ten pierwiastek. 15. Robinia akacjowa i lipa są gatunkami miododajnymi. Lipa jest naszym gatunkiem rodzimym, podczas gdy robinia jest obcym, podobnie jak dąb czerwony, daglezja, czeremcha amerykańska i sosna wejmutka. 16. Igły jodły pospolitej są spłaszczone, błyszczące i ciemnozielone z dwoma białymi paskami po spodniej stronie. Kora młodych drzew jest gładka i szara, starszych spękana, szyszki siedzące pionowo na gałęziach, dojrzałe szyszki rozpadają się, pozostawiając na gałęzi trzpień. 17. Limba ma igły zebrane w pęczki po pięć, podczas gdy sosna zwyczajna i kosodrzewina mają po dwie igły w pęczku. 18. Owoce leśne mogą być jadalne, niejadalne lub trujące dla ludzi. Jest wiele smacznych, jadalnych owoców leśnych, które mogą być jedzone na surowo, takich jak poziomka, borówka czarna, borówka brusznica, malina, żurawina i orzech laskowy. Owoce innych roślin, np. wilczej jagody czy konwalii są trujące. Jednakże są one używane w ziołolecznictwie w stężeniu, które jest bezpieczne dla ludzi. 55

Forest terminology in use 2020.indd 55

26.11.2020 18:08:49

PLANTS 19. Liście i kora cisa są trujące dla ludzi. Jedynymi nietrującymi częściami rośliny są osnówki. 20. Cechy, które brane są pod uwagę przy identyfikacji roślin na podstawie liści to: – brzeg liścia, np. całobrzegi, klapowany, piłkowany; – kształt liścia, np. sercowaty, owalny, lancetowaty; – czy liść jest pojedynczy, złożony, z ogonkiem czy bez. 21. Aparaty szparkowe to małe otwory w skórce, przez które dwutlenek węgla jest absorbowany z powietrza i woda transpiruje z liścia. Aparaty szparkowe składają się z dwóch komórek szparkowych, które mogą się otwierać i zamykać. W ten sposób roślina odpowiada/reaguje na zmiany w warunkach środowiskowych. 22. Typowy liść składa się z kilku warstw. Zewnętrzna warstwa jest nazywana skórką. Jest ona pokryta kutykulą, która zapobiega parowaniu. Pod skórką znajdują się dwa typy miękiszu – palisadowy i gąbczasty. 23. Floem i ksylem to tkanki przewodzące roślin. Floem jest tkanką żywą zbudowaną z rurek sitowych, sit, i komórek towarzyszących. Jego główną funkcją jest rozprowadzanie produktów fotosyntezy z liści do innych części rośliny. Ksylem jest tkanką martwą, która transportuje wodę i składniki odżywcze z korzeni do wyższych części roślin. Ksylem składa się z cewek i naczyń. 24. Są dwie główne różnice pomiędzy bielą i twardzielą – ich położenie i funkcja. Biel leży na zewnątrz twardzieli, zawiera żywe komórki i przewodzi sok roślinny. Twardziel jest wewnętrzną, martwą częścią pnia, która zapewnia mechaniczne wzmocnienie. 25. Są dwa typy rozmnażania roślin – generatywny poprzez nasiona i wegetatywny przez np. zrzezy, odkłady i szczepienie. Niektóre drzewa posiadają również zdolność wytwarzania odrostów korzeniowych i pniakowych.

FORESTS X. Translate into English. 1. Szkółki są często zakładane na niedawno powstałych zrębach, ponieważ gleby leśne zawierają grzyby mykoryzowe, a otaczające drzewa tworzą korzystne warunki dla wzrostu młodych roślin, chroniąc je przed silnymi wiatrami oraz znacznymi wahaniami temperatury. 2. Miejsce pod szkółkę powinno być odpowiednio przygotowane – pniaki powinny być wykarczowane, resztki pozrębowe, chwasty i pozostałe rośliny usunięte, gleba uprawiona. Typowa uprawa gleby obejmuje orkę, bronowanie i nawożenie. 3. Materiał szkółkarski obejmuje sadzonki z odkrytym systemem korzeniowym i w pojemnikach /kontenerowe. Te pierwsze rosną pod gołym niebem, podczas gdy te drugie są uprawiane w szklarniach lub tunelach. Takie sadzonki muszą być hartowane, aby zaadaptowały się do surowych warunków na zewnątrz. 4. W szkółkach korzenie sadzonki są podcinane w celu pobudzenia rozwoju rozkrzewionego i zwartego systemu korzeniowego. 5. Mikoryzowanie sadzonek zwiększa współczynnik ich przeżycia. 6. Sadzonki są wyjmowane, kiedy są w stanie spoczynku. W czasie wyjmowania, transportu i przechowywania należy chronić korzenie przed wysychaniem. 7. Nasiono jest zbudowane z łupiny nasiennej, bielma i zarodka, który składa się z zawiązka pędu i zawiązka korzenia. 8. Nasiona, które są wytrzymałe na mróz i suszenie bez utraty żywotności nazywane są nasionami typu orthodox. Te, które są trudne do przechowywania, ponieważ kiełkują zaraz po dojrzeniu, znane są jako nasiona typu recalcitrant. W rezultacie mrożenia i suszenia nasiona typu recalcitrant tracą żywotność. 9. Stratyfikacja oznacza poddanie nasion będących w stanie spoczynku niskim temperaturom w wilgotnym środowisku w celu zmiękczenia łupiny nasiennej i usunięcia inhibitorów wzrostu. 10. Gatunki ciężkonasienne, takie jak dąb i buk, wytwarzają nasiona w dłuższych odstępach czasu w porównaniu z gatunkami lekkonasiennymi, takimi jak topola czy klon. 11. W praktyce zbiór nasion w leśnictwie oznacza zbieranie szyszek i różnych rodzajów owoców, takich jak orzechy laskowe, strąki, skrzydlaki, żołędzie czy mięsiste owoce jarzębiny. Następnie nasiona są wydobywane z owoców poprzez młócenie, suszenie, usuwanie mięsistej części owocu lub łuszczenie. 90

FORESTS 12. Są cztery podstawowe terminy, które odnoszą się do powstawania lasu: a. odnowienie – kiedy drzewa zaczynają rosnąć na miejscu, gdzie las istniał wcześniej; b. zalesienie – powstawanie lasu na nieużytkach, terenach rolniczych; c. odnowienie naturalne – las odnawia się naturalnie przez rozsiew nasion; d. odnowienie sztuczne – oparte głównie na produkcji materiału szkółkarskiego, który jest później wysadzany na miejsce docelowe. 13. Drzewostany różnią się wiekiem, pochodzeniem, składem gatunkowym i budową piętrową. Jeżeli chodzi o / Biorąc pod uwagę wiek, mamy drzewostany jednowiekowe i różnowiekowe. Pochodzenie odnosi się do procesu powstawania: czy drzewostan jest odnowiony sztucznie czy naturalnie. Skład gatunkowy dostarcza informacji o dominujących gatunkach i domieszce, czy drzewostan jest jednogatunkowy lub wielogatunkowy. Piętrowość odnosi się do liczby warstw/pięter drzew pomiędzy dnem lasu a wierzchołkami drzew. 14. Lasy składają się z wielu warstw. Najniższa to ściółka, która pokrywa glebę. Następnie są rośliny dna lasu, krzewy i młode drzewka. Korony najwyższych drzew tworzą okap. 15. W lesie można zaobserwować różne rodzaje drzew. Niektóre z nich są martwe i nadal stoją, inne są złamane lub wyrwane z korzeniami. Niektóre drzewa są przygłuszone, podczas gdy jeszcze inne zdecydowanie wybijają się ponad okap drzewostanu. 16. Głównym celem pielęgnowania drzewostanu jest modyfikacja roślinności w taki sposób, że stworzone są dogodne warunki dla pożądanych drzew, co z kolei zwiększa produkcję drewna i podnosi jego jakość. Podstawowe zabiegi pielęgnacyjne obejmują usuwanie roślin krzewiastych bezpośrednio przeszkadzających wybranym drzewkom, oraz trzebieże i cięcia sanitarne. 17. Lasy łęgowe rosną w mokrych miejscach wzdłuż rzek i strumieni. 18. Polskie lasy są lasami strefy umiarkowanej. Dominującym gatunkiem jest sosna, często tworząca monokultury. Oprócz borów występują w Polsce lasy liściaste i mieszane. Większość polskich lasów jest państwowa. 19. Przygotowanie do ścinki koncentruje się na wyborze odpowiedniego sprzętu i bezpieczeństwie. Pilarze/drwale powinni być ubrani w odzież ochronną (buty robocze, rękawice, okulary, słuchawki/ ochronę słuchu, kaski i kamizelki dblaskowe lub kombinezony). 20. Pojedyncze drzewa mogą być ścinane za pomocą pilarki. Inne narzędzia, które mogą być użyteczne to klin, siekiera, capina i obracak. 91

Forest terminology in use 2020.indd 91

FORESTS 21. Pilarz wybiera najpierw kierunek obalania, usuwa roślinność wokół drzewa i na ścieżce oddalania. Następnie wykonuje rzaz podcinający i ścinający, pozostawiając zawiasę. Gdy drzewo zaczyna spadać, używa ścieżki oddalania, by się wycofać. 22. Jest wiele metod pozyskiwania drewna. Jednakże wszystkie z nich obejmują ścinkę, okrzesywanie, usuwanie wierzchołków i przerzynkę. 23. Zrywka to termin ogólny, który oznacza przemieszczenie drewna z powierzchni cięć do drogi leśnej a potem na składnicę. Typy zrywki obejmują: zrywkę półpodwieszaną, zrywkę nasiębierną i linową. 24. Gałęzie, wierzchołki drzew i inne odpady zrębowe są zazwyczaj pozostawiane w lesie, aby się rozłożyły. 25. Rębnie różnią się nawrotami cięć i ilością drzew, które są wycinane w tym samym czasie. W rębni całkowitej wszystkie drzewa są ścinane na danym terenie. Rębnia częściowa jest oparta na selekcji drzew nasiennych, które są pozostawione na zrębie. Młode drzewka rosną pod okapem starych. Rębnia przerębowa oznacza ścinanie pojedynczych drzew, dlatego jest czasochłonna i wymaga dużego nakładu pracy ręcznej oraz użycia małego sprzętu. 26. Użytki leśne można podzielić na użytki drzewne i użytki uboczne. Te ostatnie mogą być pochodzenia roślinnego lub zwierzęcego, np. dziczyzna. 27. Użytki uboczne obejmują zioła, korę, żywicę, choinki, jadalne rośliny i grzyby, takie jak borowik szlachetny, podgrzybek, maślak i kurka. 28. Drewno okrągłe, tarcica i fornir to typowe użytki drzewne. 29. Jest wiele produktów, które mogą być wytworzone z drewna, takich jak sztuczny jedwab /wiskoza (materiał zrobiony z celulozy), płyty drewnopochodne (sklejka, płyta pilśniowa, płyta wiórowa), papier, karton, węgiel drzewny – wymieniając tylko kilka. 30. Wady drewna obniżają jego wartość handlową. Liczba wad i ich rozmieszczenie decyduje o jakości drewna. 31. Wady drewna mogą powstawać podczas wzrostu drzewa, np. sęki, drewno reakcyjne, pęcherze żywiczne, nieregularny kształt pnia, lub w wyniku suszenia/przesychania, np. spękania wewnętrzne, paczenie się w formie wygięcia poprzecznego, skręcania/wichrowatości lub wygięcia podłużnego. 32. Zbieżystość, zgrubienie odziomkowe, napływy korzeniowe, spłaszczenie, krzywizna to typowe wady kształtu pnia. 92

Forest terminology in use 2020.indd 92

26.11.2020 18:09:25

FORESTS 33. Wady drewna można podzielić na kilka kategorii: nieregularność kształtu pnia, sęki, pęknięcia, wady spowodowane uszkodzeniami mechanicznymi, ciała obce, wady budowy drewna, np. zakorki, wielordzenność, skręt włókien, zabitka/martwica. 34. Najczęstszymi wadami drewna są sęki. Można je podzielić na kilka kategorii w zależności od: a. zdrowotności, np. zdrowe, spróchniałe, zepsute; b. rozmieszczenia, np. pojedyncze, skupienia sęków / sęki grupowe; c. wielkości, np. sęki o małej średnicy; d. jak mocno jest zrośnięty z otaczającym drewnem, np. sęk zrośnięty, wypadający. 35. Wady drewna mogą też być spowodowane przez: grzyby, np. plamy, rozkład drewna; owady, np. chodniki owadzie; ptaki i ssaki, np. jelenie niszczące korę. 36. Pęknięcia drewna mają różne kształty i obejmują różne części drewna. Są pęknięcia, które idą od rdzenia na zewnątrz, np. pęknięcie rdzeniowe załamane, pęknięcie rdzeniowe proste, pęknięcie gwiaździste, i inne, które powodują oddzielanie się włókien drzewnych wzdłuż słoi, np. pęknięcie okrężne łukowe, pęknięcie łukowe pełne. 37. Tłumnica i grabie pożarnicze to pożyteczne narzędzia w zwalczaniu pożarów lasu. 38. Drzewa można sadzić za pomocą motyki do sadzenia drzew lub kostura. 39. Klupa jest używana do mierzenia średnicy drzewa, koromierz do ustalenia grubości kory, a świder Presslera dostarcza informacji o wieku drzewa i jego przyroście. 40. Podstawowe dane, które dotyczą wielkości drzewa to wysokość, obwód i pierśnica. 41. Miąższość jest obliczana w metrach sześciennych. 42. Ekologia bada wzajemne relacje pomiędzy żyjącymi organizmami i ich środowiskiem ożywionym i nieożywionym. Ekologiczne zależności wpływają na strukturę, wielkość i rozmieszczenie populacji. 43. Wzrost i zmniejszenie wielkości populacji są uwarunkowane przyrostem naturalnym, śmiertelnością, imigracją i emigracją, pojemnością środowiska, jak również drapieżnictwem, pasożytnictwem, współzawodnictwem o zasoby, żeby wymienić tylko kilka / wymieniając tylko kilka. 93

FORESTS 44. Łańcuch pokarmowy, a dokładniej/ściślej – sieć zależności pokarmowych, opisuje zależności pokarmowe w obrębie ekosystemów. Organizmy samożywne to producenci, cudzożywne to konsumenci. Roślinożercy to konsumenci pierwszego rzędu, podczas gdy mięsożercy to konsumenci drugiego rzędu. Detrytofagi żywią się martwą materią organiczną i rozkładają tkanki zwierzęce i roślinne. 45. Obieg wody w przyrodzie jest uzależniony od opadów, parowania, retencji gruntowej, oceanów, jezior, transportu/przepływu wody w rzekach i strumieniach, jak również odpływu powierzchniowego. 46. Są dwa typy ekosystemów wodnych – słodkowodne i morskie. Ekosystem słodkowodny można podzielić na ekosystem wody stojącej (jeziora, stawy, bagna) i ekosystem wody płynącej (strumienie, rzeki, źródła).

FOREST THREATS AND PROTECTION V. Translate into English. 1. Uszkodzenia drzew są powodowane przez czynniki abiotyczne, takie jak susza, wichura, szadź, mróz lub duże wahania temperatur; biotyczne, np. wirusy, grzyby bakterie, owady i inne zwierzęta; antropogeniczne, np. zanieczyszczenie powietrza, podpalenia. 2. Uszkodzenia powodowane przez warunki pogodowe obejmują te powodowane przez: a. mróz, np. pęknięcia mrozowe, listwy mrozowe, jak również gołomróz, który uszkadza siewki/sadzonki; b. wiatr, np. wiatrował; c. wysoką temperaturę, np. zgorzel słoneczna. 3. Owady stanowią najliczniejszą grupę szkodników leśnych. Uszkadzają one różne części roślin: – ryzofagi, takie jak chrabąszcz kasztanowiec, żerują na na korzeniach; – szkodniki nasion, np. szyszeń pospolity, słonik żołędziowiec, na nasionach; – ksylofagi na drewnie, np. rytel pospolity; – kambiofagi na miazdze i łyku, np. korniki; – f oliofagi żerują na liściach, np.brudnica mniszka. Inne szkodniki owadzie, które uszkadzają liście, to owady szkieletujące, minujące i zwójki. 4. Skażenie gleby, zanieczyszczenie wody i powietrza oddziaływuje na cały ekosystem poprzez osłabianie, a czasem zabijanie, zwierząt i roślin. Najbardziej powszechne związki zanieczyszczające to dwutlenek siarki, dwutlenek azotu, amoniak, fluor i fluorowodór. Toksyczne odpady, wymywanie nawozów z gleby, metale ciężkie, takie jak ołów i rtęć, stwarzają poważne zagrożenie dla ekosystemów glebowych i wodnych. 5. Najpowszechniejszymi czynnikami sprawczymi uszkodzeń roślin są larwy, np. gąsienice i pędraki, gdyż to stadium rozwojowe owada jest niezwykle żarłoczne. Objawy uszkodzeń przez owady obejmują np. galasy, szkieletowanie i chodniki owadzie. Drzewa i siewki są także uszkadzane przez inne zwierzęta, takie jak nicienie, ptaki, gryzonie i jeleniowate. 6. Grzyby odgrywają różną rolę w ekosystemie leśnym. Z jednej strony grzyby wywołują choroby lub powodują rozkład/zgniliznę, z drugiej – tworzą symbiotyczny związek z korzeniami drzew znany jako mykoryza. 7. Są cztery główne typy grzybów: lęgniowce, sprzężniaki, podstawczaki i grzyby niedoskonałe/konidialne.

FOREST THREATS AND PROTECTION 8. Grzyby rozmnażają się za pomocą zarodników, fragmentacji strzępek, podział i pączkowanie. 9. Wiele gatunków podstawczaków jest jadalnych, np. borowik szlachetny, podgrzybek; inne są trujące, np. muchomor sromotnikowy. Niektóre podstawczaki, takie jak rdze i głownie, powodują choroby roślin. 10. Porost to organizm, który składa się z workowców lub podstawczaków będących w związku symbiotycznym z glonami. 11. Grzybnia składa się ze strzępek, owocnik grzyba kapeluszowego z kapelusza, trzonka, pierścienia i pochwy. Spodnia część kapelusza może mieć różny kształt i tworzyć np.blaszki – grzyby blaszkowe, rurki – grzyby rurkowe. 12. Szeliniak sosnowy jest chrząszczem, który częściej porusza się pieszo niż lata. Osobniki dorosłe niszczą korę siewek/sadzonek, larwy korzenie sosny i świerka. Samice składają jaja w ziemi na korzeniach. 13. Piędzik przedzimek łączy się w pary późną jesienią. Samice składają jaja, które zimują. Gąsienice, które są jasnozielone z białymi paskami po bokach, pojawiają się w kwietniu i żerują na liściach. 14. Strzygonia choinówka, barczatka sosnówka, brudnica mniszka, poproch cetyniak, osnuja czerwonogłowa i borecznik sosnowiec to szkodniki pierwotne drzewostanów sosnowych. 15. Materiały palne w lesie można podzielić ze względu na: a. ich wielkość (materiały palne o większej średnicy, drobny materiał palny); b. szybkość z jaką się zapalają, np. materiały szybko się zapalające i szybko płonące; c. ich lokalizację (materiały palne podziemne, naziemne, tworzące ciągłą pionową warstwę umożliwiającą rozprzestrzenianie się pożaru w górę); d. zawartość żywych lub martwych tkanek.

ANIMALS IX. Translate into English. 1. Owady są bezkręgowcami, które mają trzy pary nóg i głowę z czułkami. Mogą być bezskrzydłe, np. pierwogonki, lub posiadać jedną parę skrzydeł, np. mchówki, lub dwie pary, np. błonkówki, łuskoskrzydłe, chrząszcze, wymieniając tylko kilka. 2. Niektóre chrząszcze są szkodnikami roślin, inne są pożyteczne, np. biedronki. Te ostatnie ograniczają populację szkodników roślin np. mszyc. 3. Cykl życiowy chrabąszczy składa się z czterech faz rozwojowych: jaja, larwy zwanej pędrakiem, poczwarki i osobnika dorosłego. 4. Chrząszcze mają dwie pary skrzydeł. Skrzydła zewnętrzne są twardsze i są nazywane pokrywami. 5. Łuskoskrzydłe obejmują ćmy i motyle. Te pierwsze są owadami nocnymi /prowadzą nocny tryb życia, podczas gdy te drugie są aktywne za dnia. W przeciwieństwie do ciem motyle są kolorowe. Larwa łuskoskrzydłych jest nazywana gąsienicą. 6. Nazwę rodziny miernikowcowatych (Geometridae) można przetłumaczyć jako owady mierzące ziemię, ponieważ ‘geo’ oznacza w greckim ziemię a ‘metron’ mierzyć. Gąsienice miernikowcowatych poruszają się w szczególny sposób, gdyż nie mają posuwek w środkowej części ciała. W rezultacie, podczas ruchu ciało tworzy charakterystyczny łuk, gdyż gąsienice przyciągają tylnią część ciała do przedniej. 7. Ciało owada składa się z trzech głównych części: głowy, tułowia i odwłoka. 8. Pajęczaki to bezkręgowce, które mają cztery pary nóg. Niektóre z nich np. kleszcze żywią się krwią i mogą przenosić choroby, np. boreliozę. 9. Temperatura ciała zwierząt zmiennocieplnych zależy od temperatury otoczenia; w przeciwieństwie do zwierząt stałocieplnych, których temperatura jest stała. 10. Gady są zwierzętami zmiennocieplnymi, których skóra jest pokryta łuskami. Jeżeli chodzi o rozmnażanie, gady można podzielić na jajorodne (te, które składają jaja) i żyworodne, które rodzą swoje młode. 11. Płazy żyją w pobliżu wody, ich skóra jest wilgotna i wrażliwa na wysychanie, które, jeżeli się przedłuża, może doprowadzić do śmierci zwierzęcia. 12. Wąż Esculapa jest najdłuższym wężem żyjącym w Polsce. Jest on niejadowity i niezwykle rzadki. Może składać jaja w dziuplach i wierzchołkach drzew. 135

ANIMALS 13. Żmije mają charakterystyczny zygzak na grzbiecie, zaskrońce – żółte lub białe plamki za głową, a gniewosze plamiste – błyszczące, gładkie łuski na grzbiecie. 14. Traszki, salamandry, ropuchy i żaby są płazami, podczas gdy węże, żółwie i jaszczurki – gadami. 15. Ptaki to zwierzęta stałocieplne, których ciało jest pokryte piórami. Mają one jedną parę skrzydeł. Większość z nich umie latać. Ptaki migrujące takie jak bociany i żurawie podróżują corocznie z terenów lęgowych do miejsca, gdzie spędzają zimę, podczas gdy ptaki osiadłe, np. dzięcioły czy sroki pozostają na jednym terenie cały rok. 16. Orzeł jest ptakiem drapieżnym, co oznacza, że poluje na inne zwierzęta takie jak małe ssaki, inne ptaki i ryby. Ptaki drapieżne są dobrze przystosowane do polowania, ponieważ mają silne, zakrzywione dzioby i ostre szpony, których używają do zabijania swoich ofiar. 17. Zwierzęta kopytne dzieli się na nieparzystokopytne, np. koń i parzystokopytne, np. zwierzęta z rodziny jeleniowatych, żubr i dzik. Żubr i zwierzęta z rodziny jeleniowatych są przeżuwaczami, co oznacza, że mają czterokomorowy żołądek, który składa się ze żwacza, czepca, ksiąg i trawieńca. 18. Wiele zwierząt jest symbolami parków narodowych w Polsce. Na przykład: • salamandra plamista jest symbolem Gorczańskiego Parku Narodowego, • kozica – Tatrzańskiego, • batalion – Biebrzańskiego, • bielik – Wolińskiego, • wydra – Drawieńskiego, • żubr – Białowieskiego, • łoś – Kampinowskiego, • nietoperz – Ojcowskiego, • ryś – Bieszczadzkiego, • bóbr – Wigierskiego, • głuszec – Parku Narodowego Bory Tucholskie, • żuraw – Poleskiego. 19. Różne gatunki ptaków preferują różne pożywienie w swojej diecie. Na przykład szpaki przepadają za owocami takimi jak czereśnie, wróble są głównie ziarnożerne, sroki i kruki są padlinożercami i żywią się padliną, podczas gdy ptaki drapieżne polują na swoje ofiary. Niektóre z nich, np. rybołów, są rybożerne. 20. Jeżeli chodzi o nawyki żywieniowe, zwierzęta można z grubsza podzielić na roślinożerców, wszystkożerców, mięsożerców i padlinożerców. W obrębie roślinożerców można wyróżnić ziarnojady, zwierzęta jedzące owoce itd.; mięsożercy obejmują owadożerców, rybożerców itd. 136

ANIMALS 21. Kukułka to pasożyt lęgowy, co oznacza, że składa ona jaja w gniazdach innych ptaków i w ten sposób unika opieki nad swoimi młodymi. 22. Owady społeczne takie jak mrówki żyją w mrowiskach, bobry w żeremiach, lisy w norach, ptaki w gniazdach lub dziuplach. 23. Zwierzęta zajmują różne siedliska: zwierzęta wodne żyją albo w wodach słodkich lub w oceanach i morzach (zwierzęta morskie). Zwierzęta lądowe żyją na lądzie, a podziemne pod ziemią. 24. W przeciwieństwie do rogów, poroże zrzucane jest co roku. Żubry i kozice mają rogi, podczas gdy łosie, jelenie, sarny i daniele – poroże. 25. Najliczniejszą grupą szkodników leśnych są owady. Szkodniki owadzie mogą uszkodzić wszystkie części drzewa, np. foliofagi niszczą liście, ryzofagi – korzenie. Najbardziej żarłoczne są larwy, ponieważ potrzebują one dużo pożywienia, aby rosnąć i się rozwijać. 26. Larwa motyla nazywana jest gąsienicą a chrabąszcza pędrakiem. 27. Na zwierzęta poluje się tylko w sezonie łowieckim. W sezonie ochronnym polowanie jest zabronione. 28. Nielegalne polowanie to kłusownictwo. 29. Lisy szczepi się przeciw wściekliźnie. Szczepionka jest zrzucana z samolotu. 30. Wiele zwierząt w dużym stopniu przyczynia się do udanego polowania: na przykład ptaki, takie jak sokoły, oraz różne rodzaje psów myśliwskich, obejmujące płochacze, psy gończe i aportery.

XIX 1. Taxonomy is the way of classifying plants according to their similarities. Plants that share the same characteristics belong to one taxonomic group called a taxon. Taxonomy is hierarchical in its nature. Principal ranks include: species, genus, family, order, class, division and kingdom. 2. Trees can be classified in many different ways taking into account their taxonomy or their biological characteristics which provide more practical information such as wood hardness, tree longevity, growth rate, the type of root system, shade tolerance or intolerance, to mention but a few. 3. Botanical classification divides plants into two main groups: gymnosperms which have seeds not surrounded by any protective tissues and angiosperms whose seeds are enclosed by a mature ovary. 4. Gymnosperms in Poland are represented by conifers such as pine, spruce, fir, larch and Douglas fir. However, there are also other plants which belong to gymnosperms but do not produce typical cones or leaves, e.g. yew with characteristic bright red arils or ginkgo/ maidenhair tree, which does not have typical needles but fan-shaped leaves divided into two lobes. 5. Flower distribution is yet another criterion of botanical classification of plants. If one plant possesses both male and female flowers, it is called monoecious. In the case of dioecious plants there are separate male and female plants. Pine, birch or beech are the examples of monoecious plants, poplar and willow of dioecious. 6. Angiosperms are divided into monocotyledons (plants whose seeds have one cotyledon) and dicotyledons whose seeds have two cotyledons. 7. Monocotyledons have leaves with parallel venation. They encompass woody plants such as palms, as well as small herbaceous plants such as grasses. 8. Bryophytes and pteridophytes are non-flowering plants which means that they reproduce by spores and do not produce seeds. 9. Ferns, clubmosses and horsetails are the representatives of pteridophytes whereas mosses and liverworts are the examples of bryophytes. 10. Plants produce various types of flowers. There is a direct correlation between the size, shape and colour of the flower and the way pollen is transferred from a stamen to a pistil and precisely to a stigma. Insect-pollinated species produce fragrant flowers with colourful petals in order to attract pollinators whereas wind-pollinated species have inconspicuous flowers.

151

Forest terminology in use 2020.indd 151

26.11.2020 18:10:03

11. The colour of flowers can be useful in plant identification. For instance, ramsons/ bear’s garlic, wood sorrel, common chickenweed and lily of the valley have white flowers; fireweed/ rosebay willowherb (Br.E.), common foxglove – purple; lesser periwinkle and forget me not – blue; Scotch broom, marsh marigold, St. John’s wort, greater celadine and tormentil – yellow. 12. A lot of forest plants possess medicinal properties. Wild chamomile have anti-inflammatory properties, peppermint helps in indigestion, mistletoe lowers blood pressure, hop is effective against insomnia and anxiety, garden angelica stimulates appetite. 13. The pedunculate oak is often confused with the sessile oak because both have lobed leaves. However, the former has leaves with very short petioles and acorns on stalks more than 5 cm long whereas the latter has almost sessile acorns and leaves with longer petioles (approximately 1.5 cm). 14. Black alder and grey alder are typical components of riparian forests. The roots of both species stabilize trees well in wet soils because they are strong and vertical. What is more, they can fix nitrogen from the air and in this way enrich soil with this element. 15. The black locust and linden/lime/basswood are melliferous plants. Lime is our native species whereas the black locust is alien – just like the northern red oak, Douglas fir, black cherry and eastern white pine. 16. The silver fir needles are flattened, glossy dark green with two white stripes beneath. The bark of young trees is smooth and grey, older ones’ fissured, cones upright on the branches, disintegrate when mature leaving axis on the branch. 17. The Swiss pine / Arolla pine has needles arranged in fascicles of five whereas the Scots pine and the mountain pine have two needles in a fascicle. 18. Forest fruits can be edible, inedible or poisonous for humans. There are a lot of tasty, edible forest fruit that can be eaten raw such as wild strawberry, bilberry, cowberry, raspberry, cranberry and hazel. Fruits of other plants, e.g. belladonna’s / the deadly nightshade’s, lily of the valley’s are poisonous. However, they are used in herbal medicine in the concentration that is safe for humans. 19. Yew foliage and bark are poisonous to people. The only non-toxic parts of a plant are arils. 20. The characteristics that are taken into account in the identification of plants by leaves are: – leaf margin, e.g. entire, lobed, serrated; – leaf shape, e.g. cordate, oval, lanceolate; – whether the leaf is simple, compound, petiolated/stalked or sessile/unstalked. 21. Stomata are small openings in the epidermis through which carbon dioxide is absorbed from the air and water transpires from the leaf. Stomata consist of two guard cells that can open and close. In this way the plant can respond to the changes in the environmental conditions. 152

Forest terminology in use 2020.indd 152

26.11.2020 18:10:03

22. A typical leaf consists of several layers. The outer layer is called epidermis. It is covered with cuticle that prevents evaporation. Beneath epidermis there are two types of mesophyll/parenchyma – palisade and spongy. 23. Phloem and xylem are plant vascular tissues. Phloem is a living tissue and is made of sieve tubes, sieve plates and companion cells. Its main function is the distribution of products of photosynthesis from the leaves to other plant parts. Xylem is a dead tissue that transports water and nutrients from roots to the upper part of the plant. It consists of tracheids and vessels. 24. There are two main differences between sapwood and heartwood – their location and function. Sapwood lies outside heartwood, contains living cells and conducts sap. Heartwood is the inner, non-living part of the trunk/stem that provides mechanical support. 25. There are two types of plant reproduction – sexual by seeds and asexual by, for instance, stem cuttings, layering and grafting. Some trees have also the ability to produce root suckers and stump sprouts. FORESTS page 58 NURSERY EX. I 1Dh 2Hd 3Jf 4Fi 5Gj 6Ag 7Ic 8Ca 9Be 10Eb EX.

IX 1. lumberjack 2. merchantable timber 3. pin knot 4. seedling lifting 5. afforestation EX. X 1. Nurseries are often established on recently logged sites because forest soils contain mycorrhizal fungi and surrounding trees create favourable condition for the growth of young plants protecting them from strong winds and considerable temperature fluctuations. 2. The site for a nursery should be adequately prepared â&#x20AC;&#x201C; stumps should be extracted, logging debris/residues, weeds and remaining plants removed, soil tilled. Typical tillage encompass ploughing, harrowing and fertiliser application. 3. Nursery stock / planting stock includes bare-root seedlings and containerised ones. The former grow outdoors whereas the latter are grown in greenhouses and tunnels. Such seedlings have to be hardened off in order to adapt to harsher outdoor conditions. 4. In nurseries seedling roots are undercut in order to stimulate the development of a bushy, compact root system. 5. Inoculation with mycorrhizal fungi increases the survival rate of seedlings. 6. Seedlings are lifted when they are dormant. During lifting, transporting and storing roots should be protected from drying out /dessication. 7. The seed is made of testa/seed coat, endosperm and embryo which consists of a plumule and radicle. 8. Seeds that withstand frost and dessication without the viability loss are called orthodox. Those that are difficult to store and germinate straightaway after maturation are known as recalcitrant/unorthodox. As a result of freezing and drying, unorthodox seeds lose their viability. 9. S tratification means subjecting dormant seeds to low temperatures in moist environment in order to soften the seed coat /testa and remove growth inhibitors. 10. L arge-seeded species such as oak and beech produce seeds in lengthier intervals in comparison to small-seeded species such as poplar or maple.

11. In practice seed collection in forestry means harvesting cones and various types of fruit such as hazelnuts, pods, samaras, acorns or fleshy rowan fruit. Next, seeds are extracted (from fruit) by threshing, drying, depulping or tumbling. 12. There are four basic terms that refer to forest establishment: a. reforestation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when trees start to grow on a site where a forest existed before; b. afforestation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the creation of forest on wastelands, farmlands; c. natural regeneration â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a forest regenerates naturally by seed dispersal; d. artificial regeneration which is mainly based on the production of nursery stock which is later outplanted. 13. Forest stands differ in age, origin, species composition and stratification. As far as age is concerned /Taking into account tree age, there are even-aged and uneven-aged stands. Origin refers to the establishment process whether the stand is regenerated artificially or naturally. Species composition provides information about dominant species and an admixture, whether the stand is single-species or mixed-species. Stratification refers to the number of tree layers/strata from the forest floor to the tree tops. 14. Forests consist of several layers. The lowest one is litter that covers the soil. Next, there are plants of the forest floor, shrubs and saplings. Crowns of the tallest trees form a canopy. 15. In the forest one can observe different types of trees. Some of them are snags, others are broken or uprooted. Some trees are suppressed while others are overtopping. 16. The main goal of stand tending is the modification of vegetation in such a way that favourable conditions for desirable trees are created which, in turn, increases wood production and its quality. The basic stand tending treatments include: brushing, thinning and sanitation cutting. 17. Riparian forests grow on wet sites along rivers and streams. 18. Polish forests are temperate forests. The dominant species is pine that often forms monocultures. In Poland, apart from coniferous forests, there are broad-leaved and mixed forests. The majority of Polish forests is state-owned. 19. The preparation for tree felling focuses on the choice of proper equipment and safety. Loggers should wear protective clothing (work boots, gloves, glasses, ear muffs / hearing protection, high visibility vests / hi vi vest or overalls). 20. Individual trees can be cut down with a chainsaw. Other useful tools include a wedge, axe, hookaroon and cant hook. 21. The logger first chooses the felling direction, removes vegetation around the tree and on the escape route. Next, he makes the face notch /undercut and back cut leaving a hinge. When the tree starts to fall he uses the escape route to retreat. 22. There are several methods of tree harvesting. However, all of them consist of felling, delimbing, topping and bucking.

23. Extraction is a general term that means the transfer of timber from the harvesting area/ stump area to a forest road and later to the roadside landing. Extraction types include: skidding, forwarding and yarding. 24. Branches, tree tops and other logging residues/debris are usually left in the forest to decompose. 25. Harvesting systems differ in the cutting interval and the number of trees that are cut down at the same time. In clearcutting all trees are felled in a given area. The shelterwood cutting is based on the selection of seed trees that are left on a logged site.Young trees grow under the canopy of older ones. The selection method means logging individual trees and therefore is time-consuming, labourintensive and requires the use of small equipment. 26. Forest products can be divided into timber forest products and non-timber forest products. The latter can be of plant or animal origin, e.g. venison. 27. Non-timber forest products encompass herbs, bark, resin, Christmas trees, edible plants and mushrooms such as the king bolete, the bay bolete, slippery Jack and chanterelle mushrooms. 28. Roundwood, sawnwood and veneer are typical timber forest products. 29. There are a lot of products that can be manufactured from wood such as rayon (a textile made from cellulose), wood-based panels (plywood, fibreboard, particleboard), paper, cardboard, charcoal, to mention but a few. 30. Wood defects lower its commercial value/ the commercial value of wood. The number of defects and their distribution determine the quality of wood. 31. Wood defects can be formed during the growth of the tree, e.g. knots, reaction wood, resin pitches, irregular trunk form, or as a result of seasoning, e.g. honeycombing, warping in the form of cupping, twisting or bowing. 32. Tapered timber/stem, butt swell, flutes, ovality, crookedness/curvature are typical trunk form defects. 33. Wood defects can be divided into several categories: irregularity of trunk form, knots, fissures, defects due to mechanical damage, foreign bodies, wood structure defects, e.g. bark pockets, multiple pith, grain slope, necrosis. 34. The most common wood defects are knots. They can be divided into several categories according to: a. health condition, e.g. sound, decayed, unsound; b. distribution, e.g. single, knot clusters; c. size, e.g. pin knots; d. how much it is fused with the surrounding wood, e.g.: intergrown knot, loose knot. 35. Wood defects can be also caused by: fungi, e.g. stains, wood decay; insects, e.g. wormholes; birds and mammals, e.g. deer that destroy bark.

36. Wood shakes have various shapes and encompass different parts of wood. There are shakes that go from the pith onwards, e.g. fork shake, simple heart shake and star heart shake and others that cause separation of wood fibres along annual rings, e.g. cup shake, ring shake. 37. A fire swatter and fire rake are useful tools in fighting forest fires. 38. Trees can be planted with a hoedad or a planting bar. 39. The caliper is used for measuring a tree diameter, the bark gauge for establishing the bark thickness and the increment borer provides information about the age of a tree and its increment. 40. Basic data that concern the size of the tree are: height, circumference/girth and diameter at breast height /dbh/DBH. 41. Volume is calculated in cubic meters. 42. Ecology studies the interaction between living organisms and their biotic and abiotic environment. Ecological relationships influence the structure, size and distribution of populations. 43. The increase and decrease in the size of population is determined by natality, mortality, immigration and emigration, carrying capacity as well as predation, parasitism, competition for resources, to name but a few. 44. The food chain, or more precisely a food web, describes feeding relationships within ecosystems. Autotrophic organisms are producers, heterotrophic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; consumers. Herbivores are primary consumers whereas carnivores are secondary consumers. Detritivores/Decomposers feed on dead organic matter decomposing animal and plant tissues. 45. The hydrological cycle is influenced by precipitation, evaporation, soil, ocean and lake retention, water transportation in rivers and streams as well as surface runoff. 46. There are two types of aquatic ecosystems â&#x20AC;&#x201C; freshwater and marine. Freshwater ecosystem can be divided into lentic (lakes, ponds, bogs) and lotic (streams, rivers, springs).

EX. V 1. Tree damage is caused by abiotic factors such as drought, gale, rime, frost or considerable temperature fluctuations; biotic ones (viruses, bacteria, fungi, insects and other animals) and anthropogenic, e.g. air pollution, arson. 2. Damage caused by weather conditions include the ones caused by: a. frost, e.g. frost cracks, frost ribs as well as frost heaving that damages seedlings; b. wind, e.g. windthrow; c. high temperature, e.g. sunscald. 3. Insects constitute the most numerous group of forest pests. They damage various plant parts: – root feeders/root-feeding insects such as forest cockchafer, feed on roots, – seed-destroying insects, e.g. spruce cone worm, acorn weevil on seeds, – xylophages on wood, e.g. large timber worm beetle; – cambiophages on cambium and phloem, e.g. bark beetles; – defoliators/folivores/defoliating/leaf-feeding insects feed on leaves, e.g. nun moth. Other insect pests that damage leaves include skeletonizers, leaf miners and leaf rollers. 4. Soil contamination, air and water pollution affect the whole ecosystem by weakening or sometimes killing animals and plants. The most common air pollutants include: sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ammonia, fluorine and hydrogen fluoride. Hazardous waste, fertiliser leaching, heavy metals such as lead, mercury pose a grave threat to soil and water ecosystems. 5. The most common plant damaging factors are larvae, e.g. caterpillars and grubs because this insect developmental stage is extremely voracious. Insect plant damage include, for instance, galls, skeletonising and wormholes. Trees and seedlings are also damaged by other animals such as nematodes, birds, rodents and the deer family. 6. Fungi play various roles in a forest ecosystem. On the one hand, they cause diseases or wood decay, on the other, they form a symbiotic relationship with tree roots known as mycorrhiza. 7. There are four main divisions/phyla of fungi: water moulds/ egg fungi, conjugation fungi/ zygospore-forming fungi, club fungi and imperfect fungi. 8. Fungi reproduce by spores, fragmentation of hyphae, fission and budding. 9. Many species of club fungi are edible, e.g. the king bolete, the bay bolete, others are poisonous, e.g. the death cap. Some club fungi such as rusts and smuts cause plant diseases. 10. A lichen is an organism that consists of sac or club fungi that are in a symbiotic relationship with algae. 11. A mycelium consists of hyphae, the mushroom fruiting body of a cup, stem, ring/annulus and volva. The underside of a cap may have different shapes and forms, for instance, gills – gill fungi, pores – poroid fungi. 173

12. The large pine weevil is a beetle that prefers walking to flying. Adults destroy seedling bark, larvae pine and spruce roots. Females lay eggs in the soil on roots. 13. The winter moths mate in late autumn. Females lay eggs which overwinter. Caterpillars that are light green with white stripes at the sides appear in April and feed on leaves. 14. Pine beauty, pine tree lappet, nun moth, pine looper, pine false webworm and pine sawfly are primary pests of pine stands. 15. Forest fuels can be divided according to: a. their size (coarse fuels, fine fuels); b. the speed they catch fire, e.g. flash fuels; c. their location (ground fuels, aerial fuels, ladder fuels); d. the content of dead or live tissues (dead and live fuels).

VIII 1. dragonfly – ważka 2. starling – szpak 3. kingfisher – zimorodek EX. IX 1. Insects are invertebrates that have three pairs of legs and a head with the antennae. They can be wingless, e.g. protrurans, or possess one pair of wings, e.g. true flies or two pairs, e.g. membrane-winged insects, lepidopterans and beetles, to mention but a few. 2. S ome beetles are insect pests whereas others are beneficial, e.g. ladybirds/ ladybugs/lady beetles. The latter reduce the population of plant pests, e.g. aphids. 3. The life cycle of cockchafers consists of four developmental stages: an egg, larva known as a grub, pupa and adult. 4. Beetles have two pairs of wings. The outer wings are harder and called elytra. 5. L epidopterans encompass moths and butterflies. The former are nocturnal whereas the latter diurnal. In contrast to moths, butterflies are colourful. Lepidopteran larva is called a caterpillar. 6. The name of the geometrid family (Geometridae) can be translated as earthmeasurers because ‘geo’ in Greek means earth and ‘metron’ – measure. Geometrid caterpillars move in a peculiar way because they do not have prolegs in the middle of their body. As a result, during movement their body forms a characteristic arch because caterpillars draw the back of their bodies to the front. 7. An insect body consists of three major parts: head, thorax and abdomen. 8. Arachnids are invertebrates that have four pairs of legs. Some of them, e.g. ticks, feed on blood and can transmit diseases/ be vectors of diseases, e.g. Lyme disease. 9. Cold-blooded animal temperature depends on the temperature of their surroundings in contrast to warm-blooded animals whose blood temperature is stable. 10. Reptiles are cold-blooded animals whose skin is covered with scales. As far as reproduction is concerned, reptiles can be divided into oviparous (the ones that lay eggs) and viviparous which bear their young. 11. Amphibians live close to water, their skin is wet and susceptible to dessication, which, when prolonged, can cause animal's death.

12. The Aesculapian snake is the longest snake that lives in Poland. It is nonvenomous and extremely rare. It can lay eggs in hollows and tree crowns. 13. Adders have a characteristic zigzag on its back, grass snakes have yellow or white spots behind their heads and smooth snakes have shiny, smooth scales at their back. 14. Newts, salamanders, toads and frogs are amphibians whereas snakes, turtles and lizards are reptiles. 15. Birds are warm-blooded animals whose body is covered by feathers. They have one pair of wings. The majority can fly. Migrant birds such as storks and cranes travel every year from breeding grounds to the place where they spend winter whereas resident birds, e.g. woodpeckers, magpies, stay in one area all year long. 16. An eagle is a raptor/bird of prey which means that it hunts for other animals such as small mammals, other birds and fish. Birds of prey are well adapted to hunting because they have strong, hooked beaks and sharp talons which are used for killing their prey. 17. Hoofed animals/ungulates are divided into odd-toed, e.g. horses and even-toed, e.g. animals from the deer family, the European bison and wild boar. The European bison and animals from the deer family are ruminants which means that they have a four-chambered stomach which consists of rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum. 18. Many animals are symbols of national parks in Poland. For example: • fire salamander is the symbol of the Gorce National Park, • chamois of the Tatra National Park, • ruff of the Biebrza National Park, • white-tailed eagle of the Wolin National Park, • otter of the Drawno National Park, • wisent of the Białowieża National Park, • elk of the Kampinos National Park, • bat of the Ojców National Park, • lynx of the Bieszczady National Park, • beaver of the Wigry National Park, • capercaille of the Tuchola Forest National Park, • crane of the Polesie National Park. 19. Different species of birds prefer various food in their diet. For instance, starlings are fond of fruit such as sweet cherries, sparrows are mainly granivorous, magpies and ravens are scavengers and feed on carrion whereas birds of prey/ raptors hunt for their prey. Some of them, e.g. osprey are piscivorous. 20. As far as feeding habits are concerned, animals can be roughly divided into herbivorous, omnivorous, carnivorous and scavengers. Within herbivores one can distinguish granivores, frugivores, etc, carnivores encompass insectivores, piscivores and so on. 21. Cuckoo is a brood parasite which means that it lays eggs in other birds’ nests and in this way avoids taking care of its young. 183

26.11.2020 18:10:06

22. Social insects like ants live in anthills, beavers in beaver lodges, foxes in dens, birds in nests or hollows. 23. Animals occupy different habitats: aquatic animals can live either in freshwater or in oceans and seas (marine animals). Terrestrial animals live on land whereas subterranean underground. 24. In contrast to horns, antlers are shed every year. Wisents and chamois have horns whereas elks, red deer, roe deer and fallow deer have antlers. 25. The most numerous forest pests are insects. Insect pests can damage all parts of a tree, e.g. foliophages destroy leaves, rhizophages â&#x20AC;&#x201C; roots. The most voracious are larvae because they need a lot of food to grow and develop. 26. A butterfly larva is called a caterpillar whereas a beetle's one is known as a grub. 27. Animals are hunted only during the open season. During the closed season hunting is forbidden/prohibited/banned. 28. Illegal hunting is called poaching. 29. Foxes are vaccinated against rabies. The vaccine is dropped from an aeroplane. 30. Many animals greatly contribute toÂ successful hunting. For instance, birds such as falcons, and various types of hunting dogs, including flushing dogs, hounds and retrievers.
