Vrtače so najbolj tipična površinska oblika krasa zmernih geografskih širin. Na podlagi obdelave digitalnega modela višin z orodji GIS smo proučili gostoto vrtač in njihove morfometrične lastnosti ...glede na naklon pobočij. Proučena so bila tri območja s primerljivimi reliefnimi, geološkimi, podnebnimi in hidrološkimi značilnostmi na Hrušici, Snežniku ter Slavniškem pogorju. Ugotovili smo, da se gostota in večina izbranih morfometričnih lastnosti spreminjajo sorazmerno z naklonom površja.
Na območju Triglavskega narodnega parka zasledimo poseben tip travnikov – grbinaste travnike. Zaradi človekove dejavnosti imajo grbinasti travniki ne le naravovarstveno, ampak tudi kulturno vrednost. ...Zato je od leta 2004 v Programu razvoja podeželja (PRP) vzpostavljen sistemski ukrep za ohranjanje grbinastih travnikov. Kmetje so za njihovo vzdrževanje upravičeni do izravnalnih plačil, a je ta podpora nizka, med manj poznanimi in zelo slabo uveljavljenimi. Uradni prostorski sloj grbinastih travnikov je, kljub terenski preveritvi in nadgradnji v letu 2021, necelovit in deloma pomanjkljiv. Namen članka je prikaz nove metode oziroma razvoja kvantitativnega postopka identifikacije grbinastih travnikov na območju Triglavskega narodnega parka. Omejitev postopka je, da ni neposredno uporaben za zaznavanje grbinastih travnikov brez naknadnega terenskega ali digitalnega pregleda. Z njegovo uporabo smo predstavili možnost učinkovite nadgradnje obstoječega uradnega prostorskega sloja grbinastih travnikov.
Članek prikazuje nov objektiven sistematičen pristop vrednotenja geodiverzitete na primeru območja med Kočevsko Reko in Kostelom. Metoda temelji na prostorski raznolikosti in gostoti elementov ...geodiverzitete ter obenem upošteva razgibanost površja. Metodo smo aplicirali na območju kontaktnega krasa, kjer smo evidentirali vroče točke geodiverzitete. Metodo smo na podlagi evalvacije ocenili kot primerno za vrednotenje geodiverzitete.
This guide provides an insight into a range of visualization techniques for high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs). It is provided in the context of investigation and interpretation of ...various types of historical and modern, cultural and natural small-scale relief features and landscape structures. It also provides concise guidance for selecting the best techniques when looking at a specific type of landscape and/or looking for particular kinds of forms.The three main sections – descriptions of visualization techniques, guidance for selection of the techniques, and visualization tools – accompany examples of visualizations, exemplar archaeological and geomorphological case studies, a glossary of terms, and a list of references and recommendations for further reading. The structure facilitates people of different academic background and level of expertise to understand different visualizations, how to read them, how to manipulate the settings in a calculation, and choose the best suited for the purpose of the intended investigation.A smaller amount of books is also available in hardcover (ISBN 978-961-05-0011-7, 24 EUR).
This book describes some basic morphometric characteristics of Slovenia’s surface relative to its landscape types using a geographic information system and digital elevation model. The book compares ...the more recent 25-meter digital elevation model and the older 100-meter digital elevation model. Statistical analysis of the two digital elevation models of Slovenia indicates that the smallest differences exist relative to surface heights, that there are larger differences relative to surface aspects, and that the largest differences exist relative to surface slopes.
In the introductory chapter, the author explains the term “digital elevation model”~outlines the features of the 100-meter digital elevation model of Slovenia~presents relief as a component part of ...the landscape, the geographic information system, and maps~derives a special coefficient for surface undulation based on changes in altitude and inclination~describes the method for determining relationships between relief and other components of the landscape~and outlines the basic characteristics of the surface of Slovenia.The central chapters are devoted to presenting the characteristics of altitude, inclination, and surface exposition determined by the author using the 100-meter digital elevation model. On the basis of an analysis of numerous relief elements, primarily altitude, inclination, and relief coefficients, the author defines the relief units of Slovenia and calculates the relationship between relief and several other landscape elements, in particular rocks, vegetation, population, and settlement patterns.
