The dynamics of fluvial transport of solutes in the fluvial-lacustrine system of the Lewińska Struga Stream (Wolin Island, West Pomerania)

Summary/Abstract: The presented results constitute a summary of a five-year study conducted from 2009 to 2013 in the upper catchment of the Lewińska Struga stream. Weekly research on the physical and chemical properties of Lewińska Struga waters at the Domysłów profile was combined with seasonal hydrochemical studies conducted in the following five flow-through lakes : Warnowo, Rabiąż, Czajcze, Domysłowskie and Żółwińskie. Across young glacial areas of the Polish Lowland, a drainage network is often produced by a fluvial-lacustrine system, in which a river links subsequent lakes via short sections. In such cases, this fluvial transport of solutes is sometimes disturbed in lakes, which are both their source and deposition area. The main research strategy of the paper was aimed at determining the functioning of the fluvial-lacustrine system of Lewińska Struga stream on Wolin Island. This paper also discusses the dynamics of fluvial transport of solutes carried with Lewińska Struga waters.
