Zarastanie jezior Obniżenia Uściwierskiego i jeziora Brzeziczno (Pojezierze Łęczyńsko-Włodawskie)

Abstract
Lake overgrowing is a natural phenomenon, however, the controlling factors of this process are not completely understood. Geological drillings are an important source to help clarify the issue. In the paper, geological cross-sections through biogenic sediments that fill the lake basins in the Uściwierskie Lowering and Brzeziczno Lake were presented and discussed. In the Lake Brzeziczno basin, lake sediments fill-in most of the basin volume and are often interlayered with moss remains. Fine-detrituous gyttja is overlain with coarse-detrituous gyttja, covered by peat sediments, mainly sedge-moss peat. A floating mat is encroaching on the lakes. In lake basins of Uściwierskie Lower ing, calcareous-detrituous gyttja dominates the lakes sediments, filling-in most of the volume of the basins. On the western shores of lake basins, sedge-moss peat covers lake sediments but eastern shores remain deprived of sediments due to long-term lake level fluctuation and wind activity. Lake overgrowing models are discussed. We suggest that dynamic models, which include lake level fluctuations, better explain lake overgrowing then the classic, static hydroseral model.
