| dc.abstract.en | Currently, one of the most serious threats to the environment in rural areas is industrial livestock production, which generates a significant amount of chemical and biological pollution. It causes pollution of waters, affects biodiversity, and has an impact on the climate. Research was carried out in the Orla River (Poland) with a catchment area of 1.546 km2. Studies were concentrated on pH, dissolved oxygen, alkalinity, and other factors. Analyses were conducted on the area of livestock buildings in two buffer zones, 1 and 3 km wide, respectively, and included the abundance of phosphorus and potassium in soil as well as its potential impact on the quality of river water. Seasonal variability was observed for nutrients. In the winter period the highest concentrations of nitrates were observed, while in the summer this was the case for phosphates and total phosphorus. The highest concentrations of nutrients occurred in 2012, particularly total and ammonium nitrogen. There was a positive correlation between livestock building area and parameters such as ammonium, organic, and total nitrogen in the 1 km buffer, as well as organic and total nitrogen, potassium and dissolved oxygen in the 3 km buffer. Negative correlation in the case of pH was observed in both buffer zones. Relationships were found between the area of livestock buildings and parameters analyzed during seasons. | |
