“…This time period can be easily related to the Little Ice Age (LIA). This climatic event was identified also in lacustrine records from nearby Smreczyński Staw lake (Gąsiorowski and Sienkiewicz, 2010a) and from other lake sites in the Tatra Mountains (Kotarba, 2006;Gąsiorowski and Sienkiewicz, 2010b and references quoted herein). The LIA extended in the Tatra Mountains between the half of 14 th century and the end of 19 th century.…”

“…The palaeolimnological data from the Tatra region prove that the LIA was preceded by a period of mild climate called the Medieval Warm Period (MWP). The MWP was warm and dry according to lacustrine records (Gąsiorowski and Sienkiewicz, 2010b) and was much longer than 20th century -the mild climate in the Tatra Mountains continued from 6th till 14th century. Hence, it is considered to be a likely period of the ice degradation which is recorded as the discussed erosion boundary.…”

Lodowa Cave in Ciemniak, which belongs to the dynamic ice cave type, contains the biggest perennial block of cave-ice in the Tatra Mountains. The ice represents congelation type, since it originates from freezing of water which infiltrates the cave. Two generations of ice have been recognized in this cave. They are divided by the distinct unconformity. The ice building both generations is layered. Two moths which were found in the younger generations were sampled and dated by 14 C method yielding 195 ± 30 and 125 ± 30 years. Bearing in mind the position in the section and the fact that the cave ice has waned since the 20s of the last century, the age is 1720-1820 AD and 1660-1790 AD respectively. It proves that the ice was formed during the Little Ice Age. Hence, the erosion boundary which underlies this generation records the degradation of ice before the Little Ice Age most probably during the Medieval Warm Period. The ice volume in the cave was substantially smaller before the Little Ice Age than it is today, despite the clear tendency to melting, which has been recognized since 20s of the last century. The older generation of ice is supposed to have its origins in a cold stage between the Atlantic period and the Medieval Warm Period.

Abstract:The paper discusses changes in the hydrological regime of high mountain Lake Morskie Oko located in the Tatra Mountains, in the Tatra Mountains National Park, a UNESCO biosphere reserve (MaB). According to the research conducted in the years 1971-2015, its water stages decreased by 3.5 cm·dec -1 , mean annual water temperature increased by 0.3ºC·dec -1 and the duration of ice phenomena and ice cover was reduced by 10 day·dec -1 . No considerable changes in maximum values of ice cover thickness were recorded. Such tendencies are primarily caused by long-term changes in climatic conditions -air temperature and atmospheric precipitation. The hydrological regime of the lake was also determined by changes in land use in the lake's catchment and its location in high mountains.

“…et kulikovskiy in kulikovskiy et al (2012: 142)] is a common taxon in high latitude and high altitude lakes of the Holarctic region (saBater & roca 1992;BigleR & Hall 2002catalan et al 2009;krstić et al 2012). According to the literature, G. digitulus (as Navicula digitulus) is a common species, abundant in lakes of the northern Europe (BigleR & Hall 2002laRsen et al 2006) though it is also known from several mountain lakes (kaWecka & galas 2003;Štefková 2006;Buczkó et al 2009Buczkó et al , 2013aognjanova-Rumenova et al 2009ognjanova-Rumenova et al , 2011gąsioroWski & sienkieWicz 2010). This diatom is widespread in boreoalpine climate and especially abundant in cold, oligotrophic and weakly acidic waters, poor in electrolytes (BigleR et al 2000;Fallu et al 2000;Rosén et al 2000;BigleR & Hall 2002;laRsen et al 2006).…”

Genkalia digitulus (Hustedt) lange-BeRt. et kulikovskiy (≡ Navicula digitulus Hustedt) is recorded from several lakes in the northern Europe and from high altitude lakes all over Europe. Wide distribution and characteristic autecology of this species allow its use as a bioindicator of pH changes and reliable marker of environmental reconstruction. A comparison of specimens found in lakes from the Carpathian and Balkan Mountains with the type material of Genkalia digitulus (Hustedt) lange-BeRt. et kulikovskiy resulted in description of a new species -G. boreoalpina Wojtal, C.E. Wetzel, ector, ognjanova-Rumenova et Buczkó. Genkalia boreoalpina is characterised by valve outline, size and parallel striae throughout most of the valve. The separation was based on light and scanning electron microscopy. Genkalia boreoalpina was the most common diatom of the genus from high mountain lakes of slightly acidic waters with a very low mineral content. The third species, Navicula subprocera Hustedt, was found in the Lake Câlcescu (Parâng Mountains) in alkaline waters and in a mountain fen in Herzegovina. The nomenclatorial combination to Genkalia was made for this species. Previously published data suggest there is a much larger diversity of species in the genus Genkalia and the cosmopolitan distribution of this group is mostly presented at the genus level.
