Changes in climate, land use, and management impact the occurrence severity of wildland fires many parts world. This is particularly evident Europe, where ongoing changes use have strongly modified fire patterns over last decades. Although satellite data by European Forest Fire Information System provide large-scale statistics across countries, there still a crucial need to collect summarize in-depth local analysis understanding condition associated challenges Europe. article aims general...
Abstract Slovenia is considered as the cradle of karst geotourism cave tourism started there early Middle Ages. To date more than 12,000 caves were discovered from which 22 have status tourist caves. From these, 10 assessed using M-GAM model (Modified Geosite Assessment Model) to gain information for better future management strategies. The results show that visitors Slovenian mostly appreciate their natural values, they prefer without major infrastructure and pay attention protection...
White-nose disease (WND) is a deadly in hibernating bats. Its causal agent the fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans ( Pd ) that was only recently introduced to North America, where it causes pervasive mortality. In contrast, native Eurasia, bats do not experience mass The pathogen successfully survives for long periods cave substrates (e.g., mud, soil) as well on contaminated caving clothes and equipment. This emphasizes importance of limiting its human-mediated spread, particularly over...
Abstract. The retreat of ice shelves and glaciers over the last century provides unequivocal evidence recent global warming. Glacierets (miniature glaciers) patches are important components cryosphere that highlight glaciers, but knowledge their behaviour prior to Little Ice Age is lacking. Here, we report uranium–thorium age subglacial carbonate deposits from a recently exposed surface previously occupied by disappearing Triglav Glacier (southeastern European Alps) may elucidate glacier's...
Abstract The city of Ljubljana lies at the intersection various geomorphological regions that have strongly influenced its spatial organization. Prehistoric settlements were built on marshland, a Roman town was first river terrace Ljubljanica River, and in Middle Ages strategic position between River Castle Hill. modern absorbed all usable space nearby hills. This paper reviews some relief features Ljubljana, their influence city’s development, urban geoheritage. results indicate new...
Cave ice samples collected within karstic terrain have major ion and nutrient concentrations showing that the originates from local precipitation modified by addition of Ca2+ HCO3− dissolution bedrock. Isotopic profiles Paradana are similar to those described in other caves central eastern Europe, where developed through freezing cave pool or “lake” waters top downward during onset cold portion year. Stable isotope data suggest future studies may yield a long-term paleo-environmental record...

Wetlands are defined as dynamic ecosystems that combine the characteristics of aquatic and terrestrial important from ecological well social economic perspectives. In response to intense degradation alteration wetlands, communities have developed various management strategies. One ways achieve more effective participatory wetland is introduce concept a Wetland Contract, voluntary agreement ensures sustainable development wetlands. This study on Sečovlje Salina Nature Park in Slovenia follows...
The Triglav Glacier in the Julian Alps and Skuta Kamnik-Savinja are among south-easternmost glaciers Alps. Historical data show that ice masses undergoing mass loss as overall climate warms. cave contain a wealth of paleoclimatic information, rapid sampling is needed if any such information to be saved before completely melted. We present first comprehensive geochemical water isotope from glacier ice, meltwater, spring water, Mount area Glacier. samples primarily reflect initial...
Zatrepne doline so značilna površinska reliefna oblika izvirnega kontaktnega krasa. V članku opisani značilni primeri zatrepnih dolin v Sloveniji. Dosedanje raziskave se po večini ukvarjale zgolj z opredelitvijo termina, redke pa bile študije, ki obravnavale njihove geomorfološke značilnosti. Z obsežnim terenskim delom smo opredelili morfografske in morfometrične značilnosti dolin. Izvedli njihovo morfogenetsko interpretacijo, delno opira na obstoječo literaturo, predvsem sintezo geoloških,...
Abstract Cave ice can contain a wealth of paleo-climatic and geochemical information that is rapidly being lost with the melting temperate zone cryosphere. The karst areas Slovenia host over 260 caves. We collected samples for stable water isotope, major ion, nutrient analyses from two Slovenian Samples included shallow cores in Snežna Cave, ∼5 m apart, an face profile Ivačičeva Cave. All isotopic ratios reflected modern precipitation could be described by high-elevation meteoric lines. An...
<p>Geoscience has been devoting increased attention to understanding the complex pathways and flows of material, energy, multidimensional coupling between various geological systems. This includes “concept connectivity”, which provides an overall framework better investigate hydrological So far, concept largely used for fluvial geomorphic systems, whereas we intend use it within karst system. In relation connectivity surface subsurface, hydrological,...
