Figure 1. Schematic maps of the Lysina (LYS) and Neglinka (NEG) catchments, with location map of the studied sites in Europe. See insert location of the studied areas in the Czech Republic and in northwest Russia. For the LYS catchment, the location of the soil pits is shown. For the NEG catchment, the boundary of the catchment and the urban and settlement areas (diagonal pattern) is shown. NEG sampling sites: 1 – the upstream site; 2 – the downstream site; 3 – the Bezymjanny site (see text for details); the black star in the inset indicates the location of the studied area in northwest Russia

Table 3. Hydrological features of LYS and NEG runoff, and meteorological conditions during sampling. Sampling sites: LYS: Lysina; NEG: Neglinka; UpS: upstream; DS: downstream; B: Bezymjanny creek. EC: electrical conductivity; T: Temperature; TH: total hardness; n.d.: not determined. All sampling was conducted between 10:00 and 11:00 h local time

Figure 3. Fluctuation of the major ions and trace solute element concentration, pH and water hardness in runoff from the Lysina (LYS) and Neglinka (NEG) catchments. A star marks data on the Bezymjanny tributary. Sampling was conducted at intervals of about 1 month at either the very beginning or the very end of each consecutive month. The collecting months on the diagram are those immediately preceding the collecting date: for example, if the sampling date was 1 March, the sampling month is considered the previous February on the diagram; if the sampling date was 29 June, the sampling month is considered June on the diagram. Snowmelt periods are marked as the months when actual snowmelt occurred
