Orchis pallens (Orchidaceae) in the Beskid Wyspowy Mountains (Western Carpathians). Fragmenta Floristica et Geobotanica Series Polonica 8: 121–125. Kraków. PL ISSN 1640 629X. ABSTRACT: Two localities of Orchis pallens L. were described from the eastern part of the Beskid Wyspowy Mts (Jaworze range, Western Carpathians). The first locality was discovered in 1990 on the slopes of the Białowodzka Góra Mt., while the second one was known since the beginning of the 20th century and confirmed in 1990 in the area of the Chełmiecka Góra Mt.
The Arctic Ocean (AO) is an important basin for global oceanic carbon dioxide (CO2) uptake, but the mechanisms controlling air—sea gas fluxes are not fully understood, especially over short and long timescales. The oceanic sink of CO2 is an important part of the global carbon budget. Previous studies have shown that in the AO differences in the partial pressure of CO2 (DpCO2) and gas transfer velocity (k) both contribute significantly to interannual air—sea CO2 flux variability, but that k is unimportant for multidecadal variability. This study combined Earth Observation (EO) data collected in 2010 with the in situ pCO2 dataset from Takahashi et al. (2009) (T09) using a recently developed software toolbox called FluxEngine to determine the importance of k and DpCO2 on CO2 budgets in two regions of the AO — the Greenland Sea (GS) and the Barents Sea (BS) with their continental margins. Results from the study indicate that the variability in wind speed and, hence, the gas transfer velocity, generally play a major role in determining the temporal variability of CO2 uptake, while variability in monthly DpCO2 plays a major role spatially, with some exceptions.
