The objective of the present study was to compare the content of polyphenolic compounds in sediments
of lakes with different types of catchment. Sediment samples for analysis were collected from the littoral and
profundal zones of lakes with field or forest catchments. The study material was supplemented with select
aquatic plant species. Basic physicochemical properties and the content of polyphenolic compounds were
determined in the material applying the Folin-Ciocalteu method.
The results reveal that bottom sediments of forest lakes were distinguished by a higher content of
polyphenols compared to sediments of field lakes (0.290 and 0.200%om). Aquatic plants were characterized by
a highly diverse content of polyphenols (0.74-2.67%om); shining pondweed had the highest content.
