EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES
The European Journal of Environmental Sciences offers a mixture of original peer-reviewed research papers, which bring you some of the most exciting developments in environmental sciences in the broadest sense, often with an inter- or trans-disciplinary perspective, focused on the European problems. The journal also includes critical reviews on topical issues, and overviews of the status of environmental protection in particular regions or countries. The journal covers a broad range of topics, including direct or indirect interactions between abiotic or biotic components of the environment, interactions of environment with human society, or environmental sustainability.

abstract

Physical and chemical properties of natural river bars in the lower reaches of Elbe in the Czech Republic were studied and compared with those of artificial river bars. Most of the chemical properties of the sediment are not correlated with the texture of the sediment but are affected by the organic matter content. The highest content and most of the chemicals were recorded in the central parts of a bar and close to the shore and terrestrial habitats. Artificial bars significantly differ from natural ones in their chemical properties. There were higher levels of phosphorus and other nutrients in artificial bars.
