- Abstract
The study dealt with the sediments from the Narew River in the section Bondary-Tykocin 1 8 tributaries in he catchment of the upper Narew. Samples were collected in summer (August) and autumn (October) 2005 from the surface layer of bottom sediments in the shore zone. Determinations of organic carbon were performed on a TOC 1200 analyzer (Thermo Euroglas). The bottom sediments collected from the upper Narew contained less organic carbon, which resulted from intensive mineralization. Sediments from the small rivers were most abundant in organic carbon. These rivers are characterized by a low flow rate and, in most cases, they are overgrown by water plants. The organic carbon contents were highly varied between the sampling points. Positive linear correlation was found between combustion loss and organic carbon content.
