TI - Physical and chemical properties of streamwater in the Tatra Mountains during April–November 2011
AB - The chemistry of mountains streams depends on natural factors (geology, litology, tectonics, and variable supply patterns) and anthropogenic factors. The aim of this paper is to determine the spatial diversity and variability of physico-chemical properties of streamwater in the Tatra Mts. Principal components analysis was used to determine the factors influencing the chemical composition of streamwater in the Tatra Mountains. Nine streams in the Tatra Mts. were selected for research. Using ion chromatography the concentration of 14 ions was estimated. The variability of physical and chemical parameters of streamwater depends mainly on the geology of an area and dissolution process. Generally, diluted water contains lower concentrations of most dissolved ions. Another factor is the influence of temperature and vegetation.
