    Globevnik, Lidija ; Sovinc, Andrej ; Kaligarič, Mitja
    The hilly region of Brkini and Čičarija is situated along the line that devides the Mediterranean part of Slovenia from its more continental part. The changes in its socio-economic conditions, ... particularly in land use, as well as its depopulation process and afforestation have in the last two hundred years had a strong impact on the structure of bird and plant species of the area. In spite of all this changes, however, the marginal Mediterranean area of Brkini and Čičarija still have a great value in respect of biodiversity and especially regarding the number of endemic and threatened species, as well as species that in this area reach the edge of their range.
