TI - Role of channel heads in determining water chemistry of 1st-order streams in postglacial areas of West Pomerania
AB - 
	Detailed research studies on the physical and chemical properties of waters were conducted within the Żarnowo channel head in West Pomerania. Samples were collected at regular measuring sites, which represent groundwater of the footslope zone, interstitial waters and rivulets. In order to identify the origin of ionic components in channel headwaters, the collected hydrochemical data were subjected to factor analysis using the principal component method. The main factors shaping the chemistry of waters : geogenic, anthropogenic, biogenic, and redox were identified. The study was designed to identify the determinants of the water chemistry of 1st-order streams.
