Čičarija gričevnati svet med Slavnikom in Učko nudi številne posebnosti v prirodnih pogojih, v narodnem in kulturnem pogledu. Tu je še ohranjena maloštevilna skupnost Romunov z mnogimi etničnimi in ...jezikovnimi posebnostmi. Posebno slikovita je tudi njihova narodna noša.Carlo Marozzi lastnik papirnice v Ilirski Bistrici v stavbi današnje pošte, je med obema vojnama dal izdelati mnogo krajevnih razglednic. Tako tudi pričujočo, ki je leta 1939 potovala iz Podgrada v Ilirsko Bistrico. Na hrbtni strani je tiskan napis v italijanščini : »Istrska Romunka – Čička v narodni noši«.Noša je resnično zelo slikovita. Lastnik razglednice je Jadran Krašovec.184/vč
Karst aquifers have a fundamental importance to water supply in many countries. Due to their specific hydrogeologic properties, these aquifers are sometimes difficult to use because of the high ...discharge variations of the karst springs and are almost always sensitive to pollution. With an aim to better understand karst aquifers, different research methods are used to study the karst groundwater system in Croatia.
The spring hydrograph and the stable isotope (δ18O, δ2H) compositions in the water samples collected from the Rječina and Zvir springs and precipitation were analysed and used to characterize the karst aquifer. The recession coefficient obtained from the hydrograph analysis indicates only a fast-flow spring component at the Rječina spring. The lack of the base-flow spring component is the primary reason for the spring drying out during the dry periods. The low recession coefficient of the Zvir spring indicates a base-flow and discharge from well-drained fissures and fractures in the spring catchment area during the low water stage. A mean residence time (MRT) of groundwater was calculated for stable isotope δ18O using lumped parameter approach by applying the exponential model, combined exponential-piston and dispersion models to isotopic input (rainfall) and output (spring) data sets during 2011–2013. The MRT of 3.24 and 3.6months for the Rječina spring and 7.2months for the Zvir spring suggests recent groundwater recharge from precipitation.
•Groundwater flow evolution was studied.•Hydrographic and isotopic methods were used to characterize the karst aquifer.•The results confirmed different hydrodynamics in the studied catchment area.•A short MRT suggests a rather high sensitivity to potential pollution.
Samonikla flora i fauna nisu u potpunosti iskorištene u ljudskoj prehrani. U ovom radu prikazani su rezultati terenskih botaničkih istraživanja uglavnom zeljastih vrsta i podvrsta suhih mediteranskih ...travnjaka i šumskih rubova područja Ćićarije. Tijekom više vegetacijskih sezona od proljeća do jeseni floristički je istraživano područje Natura 2000 zaštićenih staništa (habitat 62A0). U cilju povećanja mogućnosti proizvodnje hrane i raznolikosti poljoprivrednih proizvoda, ovdje je izdvojeno i opisano 106 svojti. Od 32 vrste koje se koriste kao hrana (npr. Artium lappa, Scorzonera hispanica, Capsella bursa-pastoris, Diplotaxis tenuifolia, Rumex acetosa i dr.), najviše je samoniklog povrća (19 svojti), 9 vrsta se koristi kao samoniklo voće i 4 vrste kao baza za izradu pića. Od 46 vrsta koje se koriste kao hrana za životinje, većina ih spada u porodicu trava (Poaceae), među njima nalazimo 3 vrste koje se koriste kao samoniklo povrće (Portulaca oleracea, Trifolium incarnatum i T. aureum) i 3 kao arome (Elymus repens, Melilotus officinalis i Trifolium pratense). Također među njima nalazimo 8 medonosnih biljaka (npr. Marrubium vulgare, Melilotus officinalis). U kategoriji materijala odnosno tvari nalazimo biljke poput Hyssopus officinalis, Juniperus communis, Salvia officinalis i dr. Povećanje proizvodnje hrane od samoniklih biljaka koje nas okružuju, kao i povećanje prerade u određene proizvode (npr. začina i dodataka hrani) je moguće, pri tome imajući u vidu potrebu zaštite okoliša i aktualne klimatske promjene.
Wild growing flora and fauna are not fully utilized in human nutrition. This paper presents the results of field botanical research and mainly herbaceous species and subspecies of dry Mediterranean grasslands and forest edges of the Ćićarija area. During several vegetation seasons from spring to autumn, the area of Natura 2000 protected habitats (habitat 62A0) was floristically explored. In order to increase the possibility of food production and diversity of agricultural products, 106 taxa have been singled out and described here. Of the 32 species used as food (eg Artium lappa, Scorzonera hispanica, Capsella bursa-pastoris, Diplotaxis tenuifolia, Rumex acetosa, etc.), most are wild vegetables (19 taxa), 9 taxa are used as wild fruits and 4 taxa as a base for making drinks. Of the 46 species used as animal feed, most belong to the grass family (Poaceae), there are also 3 species used as wild vegetables (Portulaca oleracea, Trifolium incarnatum and T. aureum) and 3 as aromas (Elymus repens, Melilotus officinalis and Trifolium pratense). Among them we also find 8 honey plants (eg Marrubium vulgare, Melilotus officinalis). In the category of materials or substances we find plants such as Hyssopus officinalis, Juniperus communis, Salvia officinalis and others. Increasing food production from wild plants that surround us, as well as increasing processing in certain products (eg spices and food additives) is possible, bearing in mind the need for environmental protection and current climate change.
The paper presents the first ethnobotanical application of Ellenberg indicator values, which are widely used in European plant ecology. The aim of the study was to find out if Ellenberg values ...(indicating habitat preferences) differ for wild food and medicinal plants used in north-eastern Istria (Croatia). We used Ellenberg-Pignatti values (the version of Ellenberg values used in this part of Europe).
Fifty semi-structured interviews were carried out among local key informants, asking which wild food and medicinal plants they used.
The mean number of food and medicinal plants mentioned per interview was 30. Altogether, 121 species were recorded as food or medicine used or previously used in the study area. Thirty-one species are used exclusively as food or everyday drink, 50 species are used exclusively as medicine and 40 species are used for both food and medicine. There were no significant differences between Ellenberg values for food and medicinal plants, apart from the Nitrogen indicator value - the plants used exclusively as food had a significantly higher index than those used in medicine. This probably stems from the fact that plants with soft fleshy shoots are attractive as food and they are more likely to come from nitrogen-rich ruderal habitats.
Food plants and medicinal plants are collected from a variety of habitats and no clear difference between the two categories of plants was detected, however further testing of Ellenberg values in ethnobotanical studies could be interesting.
U radu se po prvi put na jednom mjestu donosi popis poznatih arheoloških lokaliteta i nalazišta u Općini Lanišće na Ćićariji. Popis je sastavljen temeljem terenskog obilaska, speleoloških ...istraživanja, objavljenih tekstova, pregleda karata, podataka koji se čuvaju u Arheološkom muzeju Istre u Puli te informacija lokalnog stanovništva.
The Cenomanian–Turonian boundary (CTB) in the Ćićarija Mountain region (northern Istria, Croatia) is characterized by calcisphere limestone successions with a firmground and glauconite horizon, ...bioturbated intervals, tempestites, and slumped structures as well as microbially laminated and organic-rich interbeds deposited in the northwestern part of the intra-Tethyan Adriatic Carbonate Platform (AdCP). Compilation of the results from three studied sections (Vodice–Jelovica, Martinjak and Planik) of litho-, bio-, and microfacies analyses, X-ray diffraction, SEM, EDS, and stable isotope analyses allowed reconstruction of marine paleoenvironmental conditions during this time period. Shallow-marine carbonate deposits of the Milna Formation underlie a drowned-platform succession of the Sveti (Sv.) Duh Formation. The contact between these two formations is sharp and commonly marked by slumped deposits. The Sv. Duh Formation consists of about 100 m of calcisphere wackestone enriched in organic matter. The results of preliminary δ

O stable isotope analyses indicate the influence of the global Oceanic Anoxic Event (OAE2) on the deposition of this carbonate succession. Anoxic and hypoxic conditions in the water column lead to major changes in the shallow-marine carbonate system of the AdCP. Numerous benthic foraminifera declined during that time, but planktonic foraminifera and calcareous dinoflagellates diversified and expanded greatly. The results of this research provide new insights into the character of the CTB interval in this part of the Tethyan realm. Local and regional synsedimentary tectonics combined with global upper Cretaceous sea-level dynamics allows the correlation of the investigated deeper-marine lithostratigraphic units with OAE2.

Novačka pećina ili rjeđe zvana Poliprisedi pećina nalazi se na Ćićariji, području zvanom Novaština, nedaleko sela Dane. Naziv je dobila po napuštenom selu Novaki, koje se nalazilo između sela Dane i ...Jelovice na Ćićariji. Jedna je od najduljih istraženih pećina na području Ćićarije, duljine 430 m i dubine -84 m. Prva istraživanja pećine sežu još iz početka prošlog stoljeća gdje 20 i 30. tih godina pećinu u nekoliko navrata istražuju talijanski spelolozi iz Tršćanski klubova. Nakon Drugog svjetskog rata pećinu istražuje akademik Mirko Malez te je opisuje u Acta Geologica 2, pećine Ćićarije i Učke u Istri. Novija speleološka istraživanja Novačke pećine provode članovi Speleo kluba Had zajedno sa članovima Speleološkog društva Istra gdje pronalaskom novog kanala i izradom novog topografskog nacrta pećine dolaze do novih podataka o dubini i duljini pećine.
