Lichens serve as effective bioindicators for air pollution studies, yet most biomonitoring research focuses primarily on the distance from sources, often neglecting wind data that could elucidate spread of airborne pollutants. In our previous study in Slavonski Brod, Croatia, we utilized a monitoring station, emphasizing impact meteorological conditions, particularly wind, dispersal pollutants neighbouring oil refinery. To gain deeper understanding dynamics, here, studied lichen...
Abstract The European Mediterranean region is one of the world's major centres biodiversity. Research on plant species diversity in this has neglected area along eastern part Adriatic basin comparison to other areas. main aim study was focus area, by supplying data which at present lacking order discuss species-area relationship (SAR), floristic richness and endemism islands coast. Floristic for 106 Croatian collected different authors were integrated, systematised presented a form usable...
The determination of cropland suitability is a major step for adapting to the increased food demands caused by population growth, climate change and environmental contamination. This study presents novel assessment approach based on machine learning, which overcomes limitations conventional GIS-based multicriteria analysis increasing computational efficiency, accuracy objectivity prediction. method was developed evaluated soybean cultivation within two 50 × km subsets located in continental...
Soil carbon-to-nitrogen ratio (C:N) represents an indicator of soil quality and fertility, having a major impact on agricultural land management for organic farming. Determination C:N suitability zones is necessary procedure in the process, enabling effective management. A total 72 samples at two layers 0–10 cm 20–30 were used study, evenly distributed Osijek-Baranja County eastern Croatia. Ordinary kriging (OK) Lognormal (LK) using linear, Gaussian spherical mathematical models, alongside...
Abstract This study analyzes the relationship between Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) obtained from Terra and Aqua Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) ground-based PM10 mass concentration distribution over a period of 5 years (2008–2012), investigates applicability satellite AOD data for ground mapping Croatian territory. Many studies have shown that are correlated to PM concentration. However, is not explicit there unknowns cause uncertainties in this relationship. The MODIS...
Abstract A 4-year monitoring of bat fauna at Rudine wind farm in Croatia aimed to produce mitigation measures minimize both the number fatalities and power loss energy production. During first 2 years, a high carcasses was found from mid-July end October, indicating need for some strategy. Based on results carcass searches, meteorological data activity monitored weather mast four turbine nacelles, were proposed. next curtailment implemented collision risk period based critical speed...
In the summer of 2005 and 2010, moss samples were collected from 72 sampling sites evenly distributed all over territory Republic North Macedonia. Kjeldahl method was used to determine nitrogen content in samples. Descriptive statistics distribution maps prepared. Data obtained these two surveys compared, additional comparison done with data similar studies South-Eastern European countries Finland as a clean area. The median value N is 1.21%, varies 0.70% 1.54%, while 2010 ranges between...
With the emergence of machine learning methods during past decade, alternatives to conventional geostatistical for soil mapping are becoming increasingly more sophisticated. To provide a complete overview their performance, this study performed cost–benefit analysis four based on five criteria: accuracy, processing time, robustness, scalability and applicability. The evaluated were ordinary kriging (OK), regression (RK), random forest (RF) ensemble (EML) prediction total carbon nitrogen....
Red spicy pepper is traditionally considered as the fundamental ingredient for multiple authentic products of Eastern Croatia. The objectives this study were to: (1) evaluate optimal interpolation method necessary modeling criteria layers; (2) calculate sustainability and vulnerability red cultivation using hybrid Geographic Information System (GIS)-based multicriteria analysis with analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method; (3) determine suitability classes K-means unsupervised...
Study on fresh collections and type material of Hamatocanthoscypha rotundispora showed that the original description is incomplete variation range in essential characters too narrowly defined. In this paper we therefore provide a detailed description, including ascospore morphometry using length, width, length/width ratio volume. Non-parametric statistics significant deviation normal distribution high variability all morphometrical variables, suggesting use living for analysis more reliable...
Knowledge of the spatial distribution agricultural crops and crop rotation is necessary for understanding farming practices concerning long-term sustainability production. Agricultural are increasingly subject to drought due effects global climate change, same true Croatia constant rise in mean annual temperatures uneven rainfall distribution. Remote sensing methods have proven be superior detection monitoring compared conventional observation from meteorological stations. Information on...
The effects of different tillage systems and dose reduction on the efficacy triasulfuron & chlortoluron mixture in post-emergence control annual broad-leaved weeds winter wheat spring barley were studied lessive pseudogley soil north-eastern Croatiaduring 1997-2000. Total dry biomass production untreated plots was significantly influenced by it lowest continuous mouldboard ploughing (99 kg/ha), medium similar ploughing/disk harrowing alternating every second year chisel (218 kg/ha) whereas...
