J. Jarosz, I.A. Pidek, D. Urban, M. Lamentowicz, A. Michczyński, 2020. Human impact since medieval times in the western part of Lublin Polesie against the background of Holocene climate changes: record from Lake Mytycze in the Wieprz-Krzna Canal System (SE Poland), Quaternary International, ISSN 1040-6182, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quaint.2020.10.024.
The main objective of the study was to reconstruct palaeoenvironmental changes recorded in lake and peatland sediments from the peatland located in the western part of Lublin Polesie, where no former palaeoecological research had been conducted, and to compare findings to changes reconstructed for other sites in the eastern part of this region. Climate changes were considered, as well as the effects of human impact, which intensified particularly after the Middle Ages. In recent times the trajectory of change of the Mytycze ecosystem was exceptional because in the 1960s this area was included in the Wieprz-Krzna Canal System, and then renaturated after the discontinued use of hydraulic engineering structures.
