THE LAND FORMING ROLE OF CATASTROPHIC FLOODS IN THE TRANSFORMATION OF A MOUNTAIN RIVER, THE RYBNY POTOK EXAMPLE (BABIA GÓRA MTS). THE PRELIMINARY RESULTS
Journal Title: Zarządzanie ochroną przyrody w lasach - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Mountain streams are subject to continuous modeling of river beds during floods. The greatest changes occur within them, however, during the catastrophic floods caused by sudden rainfall. The increase in the intensity of transformation occurs in forest areas, where the wooden logs carried by the swollen streams create a dumping ground, around which there is a greater accumulation of transported material and the formation of an increased mosaic of geomorphological forms.The study was conducted in the Rybny Potok catchment area (Babia Góra National Park). The flooding occurred 15-16 May 2014 due to the heavy rainfall, which on 15 May amounted to 138 mm. Whereas, 216.5 mm of rainfall appeared in the catchment area in three days . This resulted in a sudden and full spate streams, contributing to a significant transformation in the bottoms of their geomorphological valleys. There were created many new forms, while the pre-existing increased their size.
