description | The paper presents the applicability of LiDAR data in limnological research with respect to the identification of the shoreline of lakes, and consequently the scale of overgrowing of lakes. Data obtained from the Head Office of Geodesy and Cartography from the period 2011 2016 provided the basis for the identification of shorelines for 14 lakes of the Pomeranian Lakeland. The paper employs the orthophotomap for the determination of the range of lake vegetation. Using the line determined based on the orthophotomap and that determined based on LiDAR points, the zone of overgrowing of the analysed lakes was delineated. In all the analysed cases combined, the water surface area was found to be reduced in comparison to the shoreline identified through LiDAR scanning by 161.5 ha, suggesting a 21.2% share of vegetation in the surface area of lakes. |
