“…Such changes are registered in the uppermost sections of alluvial sedimentary sequences by a growth in the grain size of overbank sediments (Kalicki 2000, Kukulak 2004). The concentration of subfossil tree trunks in channel alluvia, in particular trunks with traces of processing (cutting) by man, indicates felling phases linked with deforestation of alluvial plains .…”

Records of human activity in valleys of the Upper Vistula River catchment and the Upper Dniester River catchment in the area of the Eastern Carpathian Foreland are synchronic and date back to the Neolithic Period. They include alluvia and colluvia in small valleys, linked with local downpours, as well as changes in large valleys, where flooding is reflected in modifications to river channels and an acceleration in the deposition of overbank facies. Among these periods are phases determined climatically (5 th -7 th centuries AD) and those reflecting human activity (1 st -3 rd centuries AD), as well as phases recording the coincidence of both factors (middle Neolithic, 10 th -11 th centuries AD and the Little Ice Age). The most distinct changes leading to transformation in valley slopes and bottoms are linked with the coincidence of humid climatic phases and periods of increased human impact.

Zarys treści: W artykule przedstawiono przegląd osadów powodziowych i biogenicznych zdeponowanych w dnie Doliny Dolnej Wisły od okolic Górska, w środkowej części Kotliny Toruńskiej, po okolice Grudziądza. Omówiono piaszczyste osady powodziowe, osady basenów popowodziowych i mineralne osady jeziorzysk dolinnych. Dokonano analizy podstawowych własności utworów biogenicznych i ich interpretacji genetycznej. Omówiono też wyniki badań nad rekonstrukcją układu koryta Wisły w ciągu ostatnich 200 lat w Kotlinie Grudziądzkiej i Basenie Unisławskim oraz problem powolnego zamulania starorzeczy powstałych przed regulacją i po regulacji hydrotechnicznej w końcu XIX w. Wyjaśniono kwestię gradientu zawartości węglanowej materii rozpuszczonej w dnie doliny i jego wpływ na sedymentację osadów. Zwrócono uwagę na podobieństwa i różnice w transporcie materii rozpuszczonej i zawieszonej między korytem Wisły i starorzeczami na przykładzie starorzecza Starej Wisły i koryta Wisły w Bratwinie. Słowa kluczowe: równina zalewowa, zamulanie starorzeczy, Dolina Dolnej WisłyAbstract: The paper is a review of flood and biogenic sediments which have been deposited on the Lower Vistula Valley floor from the vicinity of Górsk to Grudziądz town. Sandy flood sediments, flood basin sediments and mineral infillings of former back swamps are described. Biogenic sediments are also discussed and genetically interpreted. The results of the Vistula channel reconstruction in Grudziądz Basin and Unisław Basin in the last 200 years are also presented. The reconstruction is strongly linked with the problem of relatively slow siltation of oxbows after the hydrotechnical regulation at the end of XIX-th century. The question of the carbonates gradient in floodplain sediments is also explained. The differences and similarities of the dissolved and suspended matter transport between the main channel and fluvial lake is shown on the example of the oxbow lake and Vistula river channel in Bratwin.

The Warta River near Poznañ (West Po land) rep re sents a me an der ing low land river mod i fied by hy dro-en gi neer ing pro jects. Re cently, two large floods oc curred dur ing the sum mer of 2010 and the win ter of 2011. Rapid re sponse sur veys were conducted to doc u ment ero sion and sed i men tary re cords of the floods (spa tial ex tent, grain size, com po si tion, grain microtextures). Fol low-up stud ies, which were con ducted dur ing the two years af ter the floods, as sessed postdepositional changes in the flood de pos its. A thick sand layer formed that ranged from an av er age of 10-15 cm (sum mer) to 30-35 cm (win ter), build ing nat u ral lev ees, side bars and cre vasse splays. The sand lay ers con sisted of fine-and me dium-grained sands that were well-sorted, fine skewed and sourced from the river chan nel. The lon ger but smaller win ter flood pro duced thicker and coarser de pos its at dif fer ent sites com pared with the sum mer flood. An or ganic-rich mud layer and al gal mats, which were short-ex ist ing, were also de tected on the floodplain. The study proved that the flood re cord on en gi neered rivers may be only in the sand bod ies near the river chan nel and their pres er va tion is mainly con trolled by their thick ness. A sin gle site may not re cord all floods, as par tic u lar events tend to leave de pos its in var i ous places.
