The Role of Artificial Lakes Located in Forests in the Context of Small Retention, Biodiversity and Climatic Changes—Evidence From Southern Poland by Rafał Starzak, Anna Cieplok, Robert Czerniawski, Aneta Spyra

“…Despite human activities, lake condition, as assessed by the ESMI index or the biocenotic diversity indices, is good (0.416–0.648). Climate change, expressed by an increase in the frequency of dry years, creates a situation of changes in filling lakes with water, which, taking into account their small depth, results in dynamically changing conditions for the development of phytolittoral. …”
