Description
Summary:Administratively the study area (cadastral territory of Beša village, research polygon) belongs to the Košice region and Trebišov district. Polder Beša is a dry reservoir belonging to the largest in the Central Europe (volume 53 mil. m3). It was built in 1965 in the frame of the complex regulation of water regime on the East Slovakian lowland. Flowing and underground water in this area is represented by specific nature geosystem. It was modified in 60th years of the last century for the purpose of fertilization of soils and enlargement of agroproduction areas in the region. Modifications influenced the natural configuration of the river network and the creation of new real and potential water surfaces, disappearance of wetlands, moors and the dead arms of rivers. They affected also the hydrophysical properties of soils, microclimate, land cover and the changes of the total structure of the landscape. Human activities in this region have caused irreversible changes in two ways. The first one influenced landscape structure directly, e. g. by building of the water canals and dams, the second one indirectly.
