DESCRIPION OF STUDY AREA
Region - Beskid Niski, Polish Western Carpathians. Bystrzanka is a tributary to the Ropa river. The Bystrzanka catchment occupies the area 13 sq. kmThe Ropa basin is 970 sq. km large, and contains the lake reservoir "Klimkowka" of the capacity 43 500 000 cu. m.
Land use of the region is strongly changing in its history after the II World War. Arable areas are recently shrinking under natural succession by young natural forest environment and under expanding antropomorphic changes in habitated, urban and industrial areas around the town Gorlice, 5 km distant from Szymbark. The mountain hill ridges around, are elevated about 600 m, with foothills bottoms elevated approx. 300-400 m.
The land use characteristics is the folowing:Arable land 18,8%Permanent grassland 27,9%Built-up area 6,8 %Fruit orchards 3,3%Tree clumps & tree lines 2,6%Forests 40,6%
LONG-TERM THEMATIC STUDIES OF HYDROLOGICAL PROCESSES
Since 1968 we investigate:1) land slides effects and conditions,2) interlayer water and soil transport, down to 2m depth (see Fig. 4)a) on cultivated slopes, (see Fig. 3)b) on uncultivated natural grass covered slopes.by means of - standard meteo conditions,- the water outflow from the Bystrzanka catchment,- a permanent system for SM, employing piezometers in 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 m deep holes, along slopes.- the land use characteristics in seazonal and annual evolution,
Since 1994 the Station Szymbark is 1 of 7 nodes of the National Network of Monitoring the Environment Stations.Since 2004 there is a cooperation to SRC PAS, Warsaw in the experiments on investigating Soil Thermal Properties
