Biothermal contrasts while travelling in or between Poland and Bulgaria

Abstract: Abstract. Given that the number of tourists travelling between Poland and Bulgaria increases every year, this article considers the adaptation strain facing those who move between certain sites on national or international routes. The Adaptation Strain Index (ASI) was applied for this purpose, and seasonal and spatial patterns of bioclimatic contrasts were considered. While travel within one or other of the countries does not prove particularly oppressive, it may sometimes lead to moderate adaptation strain. I… Show more

“…In Romania, the Carpathian Mountains predominate [ 110 ], whereas in Bulgaria the landscape is structured by alternating bands of high and low terrain that stretch from east to west across the country [ 111 ]. The topography gives rise to various climatic zones ranging from alpine and subarctic to humid subtropical [ 110 , 112 ]. The landscape is a mosaic of natural areas such as plains, open woodland, and extensive forests, as well as inhabited and in- and extensively used agricultural areas.…”

“…This paper thus complements two other works contained in this publication: on the heat stress that may occur during field activities in agriculture in Poland and Bulgaria (Błażejczyk et al 2015), and on the adjustment processes in the human body associated with changes in meteorological conditions as travel between the two countries takes place (Milewski & Szmyd 2015).…”
