| Description | Four profiles in different sedimentary environments - natural levee, proximal floodplain, distal floodplain, oxbow lake - were sampled to obtain magnetic susceptibility (MS), grain size, organic matter content (LOI) and pH. Relationships between selected parameters (Xlf, D50, LOI, pH) were analysed by means of statistical analysis (linear regression, PCA, factor analysis). Principal goal was to investigate how character of individual sedimentary environments and their distance from the active river channel is reflected in the magnetic signal of overbank deposits. A decrease in the magnetic signal with increasing distance from the river channel was shown, confirming that fluvial deposition is a major factor of contamination of floodplain sediments by anthropogenic magnetic particles. The base of elevated values of MS (levee: 80 cm, proximal floodplain: 30 cm) probably corresponds to the turn of the 19th and 20th century and the strongest magnetic signal (levee: 32,5 cm, proximal floodplain: 5 cm) belongs to the 1980s. Statistically significant relationships were found between: Xlf and LOI (direct dependence), LOI and D50 (indirect dependence), pH and D50 (direct dependence) when data from all profiles were analysed together. |
