Abstract The influence of morphodynamics of individual river valley zones on the anthropogenically induced distribution of heavy metals in the Małopolska Gorge of the Vistula River near Kępa Gostecka was studied. Based on the analysis of cartographic and geological mapping data, several floodplain features were distinguished. For each feature, lithological analysis of the deposits was carried out. It comprised determination of clay content, organic matter, carbonates and iron oxides and hydroxides, as well as analysis of heavy metal concentration. The investigations show that the concentration of heavy metals in floodplain surface deposits is strictly linked with the variability of depositional environments, which reflected in the intricate feature pattern. The highest contents of heavy metals have been found in the deposits of the contemporary floodplain, stagnation zones of floodwaters, oxbow lakes buried under floodplain or organic deposits and escarpment foot back swamps, while the lowest in deposits of the Pleistocene terrace and slope wash zones. Variability of floodwater dynamics modelling the floodplain surface is associated with the specific geological setting of the Vistula River valley stretch analysed.

Kępa Gostecka（波兰中部）附近维斯瓦河流域沉积物中重金属浓度的形态动力学条件

摘要 研究了单个河谷区的形态动力学对 Kępa Gostecka 附近维斯瓦河 Małopolska 峡谷中重金属的人为诱导分布的影响。根据对制图和地质绘图数据的分析，区分了几个洪泛区特征。对于每个特征，都进行了沉积物的岩性分析。它包括粘土含量、有机物、碳酸盐和铁的氧化物和氢氧化物的测定，以及重金属浓度的分析。调查表明，漫滩地表沉积物中重金属的浓度与沉积环境的变化密切相关，这反映在复杂的特征模式上。现代洪泛区、洪涝滞留区、掩埋在洪泛平原下的牛轭湖或有机沉积物和悬崖足背沼泽沉积物中重金属含量最高，而更新世阶地和斜坡冲刷带沉积物中重金属含量最低。模拟漫滩表面的洪水动力学的可变性与所分析的维斯杜拉河谷段的特定地质环境有关。
