“…The agronomic significance of Fluvisols provokes long-standing interest in determining and mapping of soil physical and chemical properties for designing a hydromelioration system. Geostatistical analysis and interpretation of spatial variability of the physical properties of Fluvisols are often applied for the purposes of site-specific farming (Iqbal et al, 2005;Orfánus et al, 2016) and for predicting water and salute transport in soil (Botros et al, 2009). The effect on organic carbon along various hydrological gradients associated with flood recurrence was investigated by SaintLaurent et al (2016).…”

The heterogeneity of soil physical properties of Fluvisols, lack of large pristine areas, and different moisture regimes on non-flooded and flooded terraces impede the possibility to find a soil profile which can serve as a baseline for estimating the impact of natural or anthropogenic factors on soil evolution. The aim of this study is to compare the pore size distribution of pristine Fluvisols on flooded and non-flooded terraces using the method of the soil water retention curve, mercury intrusion porosimetry, nitrogen adsorption isotherms, and water vapour sorption. The pore size distribution of humic horizons of pristine Fluvisols on the non-flooded terrace differs from pore size distribution of Fluvisols on the flooded terrace. The peaks of textural and structural pores are higher in the humic horizons under more humid conditions. The structural characteristics of subsoil horizons depend on soil texture and evolution stage. The peaks of textural pores at about 1 mm diminish with lowering of the soil organic content. Structureless horizons are characterized by uni-modal pore size distribution. Although the content of structural pores of the subsoil horizons of Fluvisols on the non-flooded terrace is low, these pores are represented by biopores, as the coefficient of filtration is moderately high. The difference between non-flooded and flooded profiles is well expressed by the available water storage, volume and mean radius of pores, obtained by mercury intrusion porosimetry and water desorption, which are higher in the surface horizons of frequently flooded Fluvisols.

“…These changes are typical phenomena occurring in soils under the climatic conditions of the Eastern Lower Silesia region, showing the highest SWC (quite often close to the values corresponding to FWC) and GWT records measured after spring thaws initiating the growing season (Orzepowski et al ). As temperatures rise and vegetation develops, the water reserves accumulated during the winter period are successively depleted (Seneviratne et al ; Orfánus et al ), reaching their lowest values in the second half of summer and at the end of the growing season. Certain deviations from these tendencies may occur because of occasional extreme events of summer precipitations that temporarily restore the SWC (Zeppel et al ).…”

The present work focuses on an assessment of the applicability of groundwater table (GWT) measures in the modelling of soil water retention characteristics (SWRC) using artificial neural network (ANN) methods. Model development, testing, validation and verification were performed using data collected across two decades from soil profiles at full‐scale research objects located in Southwest Poland. A positive effect was observed between the initial GWT position data and the accuracy of soil water reserve estimation. On the other hand, no significant effects were observed following the implementation of GWT fluctuation data over the entire growing season. The ANN tests that used data of either soil water content or GWT position gave analogous results. This revealed that the easily obtained data (temperature, precipitation and GWT position) are the most accurate modelling parameters. These outcomes can be used to simplify modelling input data/parameters/variables in the practical implementation of the proposed SWRC modelling variants.

“…5. Fluctuations of groundwater level in the riparian area at GW1, GW2, GW3, GW4, GW5 points; source: own study 2015), the high porosity and permeability allow for the storage and transmission of more water, leading to higher groundwater levels (Orfánus et al, 2016;Gomboš et al, 2018). Human activities, such as flow regulation to control flooding in the Nida valley, can cause a decline in groundwater levels (Żelazo, 1993;Lajczak, 2004).…”

The study area of the Nida valley was examined to investigate variations in groundwater and surface water levels, as well as the interaction between them. In the valley, there were three branches. The two actives were the Nida River itself and the Smuga Umianowicka branch while the Stara Nida branch was dry during the measurement session. Over a 12-month period from June 2021 to June 2022, 7 monitoring points were equipped with piezometers, comprising 5 groundwater points and 2 surface water points. The monitoring frequency was set to 30 minutes. The results of this research indicate that there are significant differences in the water level at the same observed point at different times. This study demonstrates seasonal changes in both surface water and groundwater levels with higher levels in autumn and winter and lower levels in spring and summer, which are closely tied to the changes in meteorological conditions during the research period, such as precipitation and air temperature. The study results also indicate that during summer and winter at the Nida River and its riparian area, losing stream is the primary process occurring in the studied reach. Conversely, during autumn and spring, the main process is gaining stream. At the human-maintained Smuga Umianowicka branch and in its riparian area, losing stream is the main process during summer and autumn, and gaining stream is the main process during spring. During winter, losing stream and gaining stream processes can occur simultaneously, and neither process takes place mainly.
