“…Poland is located in a transitional zone between the maritime western and continental eastern European climates, resulting in the high variability of the weather and significant seasonal differences from year to year due to frequent air mass collision. The variability of the thermal conditions in Poland is consistent with the trends observed in recent decades in Europe and the rest of the world, and according to climate projections for the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 scenario, the average annual temperature in Poland will probably increase by 1.1 °C before 2050 and by 2 °C during the period 2071 to 2100 9 , 10 . All these climate changes affect the alteration of host-parasite dynamics also in veterinary medicine 11 .…”

In animal production, yield is critically related to animal health status. To ensure high productivity, innovative control strategies for herd and parasites monitoring are required. Gastrointestinal parasites have a strong influence on changing feed intake or nutrient use, limiting animal productivity. Serological control has been proposed, given that parasite development is largely dependent on environmental temperature and humidity. However, breeders and field veterinarians lack readily accessible climate characteristics that provide information to determine whether and when herds require laboratory examination. To help reduce the testing costs incurred by farmers, we investigated whether selected meteorological data could serve as conclusive predictors to increase the precision of herd selection for serological monitoring. Our results indicate that the selection of herds by farmers for testing can be guided by regular checking of meteorological data, especially various temperature and humidity indicators. In general, ranges of 24–28 °C, as well as − 0.5 to 7.5 °C for the monthly maximum and minimum temperature, respectively, and relative humidity (68–79%) and vapour pressure (10–15 hPa) correspond to a high antiparasitic response of the herd, expressed as the optical density ratio. It is recommended to introduce coproscopic and/or serological tests if the observed weather pattern (covering the prepatent period of parasite development) ranges within the estimated values.

“…On very hot days, rain is accompanied with thunderstorms. Morning fog is a common condition in the summer period, but the trails are very well marked [ 10 ]. Hiking in the summertime in the Tatras does not require any special equipment (e.g., helmet, crampons, axes, clip hooks, ropes, etc.…”

To assess personal resources: Core Self Evaluations and Psychological Capital (HERO) of 95 winter Hikers (M age = 27.10 yrs.; SD = 7.30) and 98 summer Hikers (M age = 25.30 yrs.; SD = 5.40) visiting the Tatra National Park (Poland). The hikers filled in seven scales. These were: the Delta Questionnaire for measure Locus of Control, the Neuroticism scale (from the NEO-FFI), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES), the Hope Scale, The Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), the Ego Resiliency Scale, and The Life Orientation Test Revised (LOT-R). The results indicated significant differences between winter and summer hikers in the Tatras. The winter hikers scored higher on self-esteem, hope, self-efficacy, resilience, and optimism, and lower on external locus of control and neuroticism than summer hikers. This study also examined the factor structure of the personal resources in the hikers’ samples. The results suggested that the scales extracted two factors: Cognitive Resources and Affective Reactivity. These factors discriminate between winter and summer hikers. The Cognitive Resources factor is more important in effective adaptation to the wild world of nature than Affective Reactivity.

“…Ongoing climate change leads to environmental disruptions and affects people's lives and the economy. In the years 1951–2018, in Poland, air temperature increased by about 2°C, and the average trend reached 0.2°C–0.3°C/10 years (Ustrnul et al, 2021). The warming was not, however, consistent throughout the year, and in 1961–2018, the greatest rise in air temperature was observed in summer (July 0.48°C/10 years), winter (January 0.46°C/10 years) and spring (April 0.41°C/10 years), whereas in autumn, the warming was not statistically significant.…”

The article analyses the variability of thermal seasons in Poland in 1961–2020. Based on the average monthly air temperature values from 55 stations, the onset and end dates as well as the duration of the six thermal seasons were calculated. Taking into account the thermal thresholds of 0°C, 5°C and 15°C for each year, early spring, spring, summer, autumn, early winter and winter can be distinguished. A significant spatial differentiation of the dates of the beginning and duration of the thermal seasons in Poland was observed. The influence of continentalism (in the east) and oceanic climate (in the west) and the influence of the Baltic Sea are noticeable, and in mountainous regions, altitude above sea level is the main factor. The air temperature in Poland increases at the rate of 0.3°C–0.4°C/10 years. This causes significant changes in the occurrence and duration of the thermal seasons. An early beginning of early spring and spring was observed. Summer arrives earlier and is significantly longer, becoming the longest season of the year (above 110 days in the south of Poland). Autumn and early winter are delayed and get shorter, whereas winter comes much later. Throughout the country, winter is 44 days shorter, and in the north‐west it does not occur at all. Changes in the onset of thermal seasons are a clear indicator of progressing global warming. They have also a decisive impact on the environment and human activity.
