Lake Modre is a lobelia lake. Numerous typical plant species occur here, including Lobelia dortmanna, Littorella uniflora, Isoetes lacustris, and Sphagnum denticulatum. They develop the following associations: Lobelietum dortmannae (Oswald 1923) Tx. ap. Dierss. 1972, Isoetetum lacustris Szańkowski et Kłosowski 1996 n.n., and a community with Sphagnum denticulatum Brid. In 1991, the water of the lake was characterised by low concentrations of nutrients and calcium, acid reaction (pH<5), and Secchi depth visibility of 12 m. Following fry stocking in the lake in 1993 fish farming took place until approximately 1996. During this period the water quality in the lake changed radically in physiochemical terms. Water transparency decreased. Thermal and oxygen stratification developed, with oxygen deficits in the near-bottom layer. Concentrations of nutrient elements increased. Drastic long-term changes were observed in the spatial and quantitative features of the lake vegetation. These particularly related to the instability of Lobelia dortmanna, and the diminishment of the phytocoenosis of Lobelietum dortmannae. Consequently, the phytocoenosis occurred only in the shallowest part of the phytolittoral. L. uniflora expanded, increasing its occurrence annually. Significant fluctuations in quantities of S. denticulatum occurred, correlated with changes in physiochemical water parameters, but shifted in time.

The paper presents the occurrence of zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and manganese (Mn) in bottom sediments of selected Lobelia lakes which are specific and unique aquatic reservoirs. The lake sediments were sampled in summer stagnation in the surface layer at two stands in each lake: in littoral zone and in profundal zone at maximum depth of the lake. Results of the investigations show that Zn, Cu and Mn contents in the investigated bottom sediments were low and ranged within geochemical background limits or slightly exceeded them. Presence of the metals in the sediments was spatially differential. Zn, Cu and Mn contents were significantly higher in most cases in the profundal zone of each investigated lake than they were in the litoral zone. Another factor which significantly differs the heavy metals content was level of thermal stratification.

W pracy przedstawiono występowanie cynku, miedzi i manganu w osadach dennych wybranych jezior lobeliowych, stanowiących specyficzną grupę jezior. Osady jezior pobierano w okresie stagnacji letniej z warstwy powierzchniowej, z dwóch miejsc: strefy brzegowej i w miejscu maksymalnej głębokości zbiornika. Wyniki badań zawartości cynku, miedzi i manganu w osadach badanych jezior wskazują, że stężenia tych pierwiastków były niskie i mieściły się w granicach tła geochemicznego lub nieznacznie je przekraczały. Obecność analizowanych metali w osadach była zróżnicowana przestrzennie. W większości przypadków zawartość cynku, miedzi i manganu była istotnie większa w osadach deponowanych w miejscu maksymalnej głębokości każdego jeziora w porównaniu z zawartością tych metali w osadach strefy litoralu. Czynnikiem, który istotnie różnicował zawartość analizowanych metali, była wykształcona w pełni stratyfikacja termiczna wód lub jej brak.

This study presents and discusses the result of research on the chemical composition of bottom sediments of throughflow lakes located in Drawieński National Park. Basic hydrochemical indicators of the studied sediments are discussed: total organic carbon (Corg), total nitrogen (Ntot), and the C_org/N_tot ratio, which shows the rate of organic matter mineralization. The research and the analysis of the results show that the quality of the studied sediments changed with their distribution in the lake basin. The highest C_org and N_tot values were noted in sediments accumulated in the maximum depth of each lake, and at the inflow and outflow from the first lake in the whole cascade of throughflow lakes. Low C_org/N_tot ratios indicate that most of the sedimentary organic matter in the throughflow lakes comes from aquatic organism production, but the small participation of land-plant organic matter delivered to the lakes is also shown.

The results of long-term research confirm that Lake Czarne in the Drawieński National Park is meromictic due to natural factors, not human influence. The lake is located in a large natural basin, so the tall forest stands covering the steep slopes surrounding the lake protect it from strong winds. Its small surface area and relatively large mean and maximum depth also limit the possibilities of water mixing in the lake.
