The process of tufa deposition created the Plitvice Lakes, a unique freshwater cascade system 16 lakes separated by barriers. This complex karst hydrosystem reacts very sensitively to even small changes, and eutrophication can directly indirectly affect formation. With purpose determining influence nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) on periphyton’s chlorophyll concentration, deposition, macrozoobenthos, we used nutrient-diffusing substrates. in situ experiment combined effects seasons,...
Abstract Carbon isotope composition of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) was studied at springs, lakes and tributaries the Plitvice Lakes. The Lakes are a unique complex karst system consisting 16 flow-through connected by waterfalls streams characterized intense calcium carbonate precipitation in form tufa lake sediments. Two main springs have different 14 C concentrations due to geology their variations were controlled flow rates. Further downstream, Korana River that outflows from lakes,...
Background and purpose: Fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) have widespread use as indicators of water quality health hazards.The purpose this study was to determine distributional patterns FIB assess their origin on several sites in spring area vertical profile Prošćansko Lake Plitvice Lakes National Park. Materials Methods:The conducted from March January 2013 9 sampling sites.Standard microbiological methods were used densities total coliforms (TC), fecal (FC), streptococcus (FS), Pseudomonas...
Radiocarbon activity (a14C) and 13C composition (δ13C) were measured in hygrophyte mesophyte (land) mosses collected the natural habitat of Plitvice Lakes along Zrmanja Krupa Rivers (typical continental Mediterranean climates, respectively), Croatia. a14C δ13C values mosses, atmospheric CO2 dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) compared with contemporary data from 30 years ago at when 14C was ∼30% higher. A positive correlation between a14Cmoss δ13Cmoss observed for all reflecting change isotopic...
Plitvice Lakes National Park (PLNP) is the oldest protected area in Croatia (since 1949) and was placed on UNESCO World Heritage List in1979. It an of outstanding universal value consisting a freshwater ecosystem 16 lakes divided by tufa barriers. Recently, this has experienced pressure from visitors significant infrastructural development. When previous Management Plan expired 2017, PLNP initiated adopted new Plan. This involved zonation management order to better conserve use area. based...
