The report summarizes the results of research into the limnological and biological components of the ecosystem of the newly created Medard post-mining lake. The aim of the presented report is to summarize the results achieved for the year 2022 and recommendations for further monitoring. The year 2022 was the fifth year after the lake was completely filled, when water from the Ohře River was no longer added. Only small tributaries flowed into the lake from its own catchment area, and at the same time, water from the lake drained through seeps, which are apparently drained into the nearby rivers, the Ohře and the Svatava. The lake ecosystem reached the final state of its initial phase in terms of hydrological regime and nutrient load. This condition is characterized by very little water exchange and a low nutrient level with low productivity of plankton communities. There is the development of submerged macrovegetation in littoral zone and a specific seasonal change in chemistry and biological parameters. However, the aquatic ecosystem is still far from stabilized and the biological communities of the littoral zone (littoral) and open water (pelagial), including the fish community, still show significant interannual dynamics.

Hydrobiological monitoring of Lake Medard in 2020.

The aim of this report is to summarize the results achieved in 2020 and make recommendations for further monitoring. The year 2020 was the third year after the full filling of the lake. The lake ecosystem has reached a final state in terms of hydrological regime and nutrient load, which is characterized by very low water turnover, low trophic state with low productivity of planktonic communities, development of submerged macrovegetation in littoral areas and specific seasonal changes in chemistry and biological parameters. However, the aquatic ecosystem is far from being stabilized and the biological communities of the littoral and the open water areas, including the fish community, are still changing considerably from year to year.
