Abstract Lake thermal dynamics have been considerably impacted by climate change, with potential adverse effects on aquatic ecosystems. To better understand the impacts of future change lake and related processes, use mathematical models is essential. In this study, we provide a comprehensive review water temperature modeling. We begin discussing physical concepts that regulate in lakes, which serve as primer for description process‐based models. then an overview different sources...
The paper presents the results of a study heavy metals (HMs) concentrations in six retention reservoirs located lowland area western Poland. objectives this were to analyze Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn concentrations, assess contamination ecological risk, spatial variability HM identify potential sources factors determining concentration distribution. bottom sediment pollution by HMs was assessed on basis index geo-accumulation (Igeo), enrichment factor (EF), load (PLI) metal (MPI). To risk...
This study investigated the spatial distribution, contamination, potential ecological risks and quantities of pollutant sources six heavy metals (HMs) in sediments 47 rivers. The catchments rivers are situated Poland, but some them located Slovakia, Czech Republic, Germany. Cluster analysis was applied to analyze distribution Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn river sediments. Moran I Getis-Ord Gi* statistics were calculated reveal pattern hotspot values. Principal component (PCA) positive matrix...
Water temperature is an important physical indicator of rivers because it impacts many other and biogeochemical processes controls the metabolism aquatic species in rivers. Having a good knowledge river thermal dynamics great importance. In this study, advanced machine learning based model that fast, accurate easy to use, namely nonlinear autoregressive network with exogenous inputs (NARX) neural network, was coupled Bayesian Optimization (BO) algorithm for optimizing number NARX hidden...
The study evaluated the effect of environmental conditions and morphometric parameters on lake water temperature changes. analysis was carried out basis 14 lakes located in northern Poland. assessment based daily air temperatures from 1972 to 2016. It took into account location (latitude, longitude, altitude) (surface area, maximum mean depth, volume), hydrological processes (rate exchange, course ice phenomena), trophic status (water transparency) as factors that can modify Direction rate...
Pollution of river bottom sediments with heavy metals (HMs) has emerged as a main environmental issue related to intensive anthropopressure on the water environment. In this context, risk harmful effects HMs presence in Warta River, third longest Poland, been assessed. The concentrations Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb collected at 24 sample collection stations along whole length have measured analyzed. Moreover, GIS environment, method predicting variation length, not particular sites, proposed....
Study region:The study region comprises 25 lowland Polish lakes in the northern part of country.The studied provide domestic, industrial and agricultural water supply, are major attractions for tourism, thus playing a significant role economy.Study focus: The expected impact future climate change on lake surface temperature (LSWT) was predicted using air2water model, which relies solely daily air (AT) as model input.LSWT AT observations period 1987-2016 were used calibration validation.Then,...
Climate change has a significant impact on the abiotic and biotic environment. An increase in air temperatures translates into higher of water constituting habitat wide range species. The purpose this study is to present direction extent temperature increases eight rivers three lakes monthly annual basis. analysis river used both measured data reconstructed using artificial neural networks from period 1984–2020. changes was performed Mann-Kandall tests modified Sen test. conducted against...
Our paper presents the possibility of applying DRASTIC model as a useful tool to support process local and regional development planning.The study was carried out in catchment Stare Miasto Reservoir Central Poland.In order plan policy protect reservoir groundwater, assessment groundwater vulnerability pollution made by means model.The original modified adding new parameter called "land use."The measured nitrate concentrations were used test models.The results revealed that gave more accurate...
Abstract The objective of this study was to analyse spatial variability the trace elements (TEs) and rare earth (REEs) concentration in lake bottom sediments Bory Tucholskie National Park (BTNP); Poland. following research questions were posed: which factors have a fundamental impact on sediments, can be considered as indicators natural processes are related anthropogenic sources. material samples collected from 19 lakes. concentrations 24 TEs 14 REEs determined. analyses carried out using...
Abstract This paper presents the state and spatial distribution of surface sediment contamination 77 lakes in Poland by Cr, Ni, Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu. The analyzed were located within a network nature protection areas territory European Union (EU). Spatial heavy metals (HMs), factors favoring delivery/accumulation HMs sediments, pollution sources analyzed. results indicate lake sediments HMs, but potentially toxic effects are only found single lakes. Cr indicates predominant impacts point sources,...
Abstract The paper evaluates changes in the water temperature of Vistula River – one longest rivers Europe. Mean monthly and annual temperatures from period 1971–2017 for 11 stations along entire length river revealed increasing trends. mean increase analysed multi-annual was 0.31 °C dec –1 . In majority stations, key factor determining air temperature. observed warming should be considered an exceptionally unfavourable situation context importance a number processes phenomena occurring...
Lowland lakes located at Poland. There are thousands of lowland in Poland, however, many them don't have observed data water temperatures. How can we simply estimate lake surface temperature (LSWT) is challenging, and a few studies tried to deal with this issue. In study, proposed simple method using the air2water model for regional estimation LSWT Polish lakes: Firstly, literature review was conducted collect parameter values applications different diverse morphologies (e.g., mean depth)....
Water level fluctuations in lakes are one of the key parameters affecting their functioning and other environmental elements present vicinity. They also provide information about entirety processes occurring catchment area, both natural anthropogenic, result which is filling lake basin with water. This study analyses changes water levels 25 Poland based on maximum, average, minimum annual values from period 1963–2022. From point view circulation, obtained results can generally be considered...
In this study, long-term lake surface water temperature (LSWT) data were used to investigate the impact of climate change on thermal conditions in 25 Polish lowland lakes. The results show that warming rate annual mean LSWT ranges from 0.14 °C per decade 0.69 with an average value 0.44 decade. maximum presented strongest trend, varying between 0.26 and 1.06 (average 0.65 decade). Warming rates observed all seasons but different intensities, increasing spring autumn then summer. summer varied...
Abstract Green parks and gardens in urban areas are an essential part of ecosystem services for inhabitants, especially cities where people affected by road noise. These problems have been the subject many studies worldwide. Such works carried out at levels—both contexts spatial planning ecological analyses. In relation to this, design noise maps related modelling is significant. The paper presents results a survey acoustic environment Dendrological Garden Poznań—the fifth largest city...
