Kalkokambisol (smeđe tlo na vapnencima i dolomitima) jedno je od najzastupljenijih tipova tala u Hrvatskoj. Kako i sam naziv sugerira razvijeno je na vapnencima i dolomitima, koji uključuju niz ...prijelaznih formi stijena u pogledu načina i intenziteta fizičkog i kemijskog trošenja. Na području Nacionalnog parka Plitvička jezera otvoreno je 30 pedoloških profila od kojih je 18 na vapnencima i 12 na dolomitima. Na terenu su bili određeni ektomorfološka i endomorfološka svojstva tla. Na prikupljenim uzorcima tla iz humusno-akumulativnog (A) i kambičnog (B) horizonta određeni su sljedeći parametri: granulometrijski sastav tla, reakcija tla odnosno pH-vrijednost u vodi i vodenoj otopini CaCl2, udjel karbonata te udjel organskog i ukupnog dušika. Najveće razlike u ektomorfološkim parametrima između tala povrh vapnenaca i dolomita utvrđene su u stjenovitosti i kamenitosti – na vapnencima se ona kreće u rasponu od vrlo niske do vrlo visoke, dok je na dolomitima nema. Na profilima kalkokambisola povrh dolomita utvrđen je veći udjel frakcija pijeska i manji udjel gline od kalkokambisola povrh vapnenaca. Dominantna teksturna oznaka u B-horizontu koji je ujedno i dijagnostički horizont kalkokambisola povrh vapnenaca je praškasta glina dok je kod kalkokambisola povrh dolomita praškasto glinasta ilovača. Prosječne pH-vrijednosti i udjeli CaCO3 u kalkokambisolima povrh vapnenaca bili su statistički značajno niže od kalkokambisola povrh dolomita duž cijelog profila. Nije utvrđena značajna razlika u udjelima Corg i Ntot između kalkokambisola povrh vapnenaca i dolomita pa tako nema ni velike razlike u omjeru C/N. Prosječni odnos C/N duž cijelog profila kalkokambisola povrh vapnenaca i dolomita iznosi 14, odnosno dekompozicija traje neometano. Ovim istraživanjem je utvrđeno da postoje značajne razlike u ektomorfološkim (stjenovitost i kamenitost) i endomorfološkim (granulometrijski sastav tla, pH-vrijednost tla i udjel CaCO3) svojstvima kalkokambisola na različitim matičnim supstratima.
Calcocambisol (brown soil on limestone and dolomite) is one of the most common soil types in Croatia, and it is the dominant soil type developed on karst, as well as in the area of the Plitvice Lakes National Park, which is located in the karst area. As its name suggests, calcocambisol is developed on different carbonate substrates, which are different in terms of chemical composition as well as in terms of rock erosion. In the area of the National Park, 30 pedological profiles have been opened, 18 of which were on limestone and 12 on dolomite. In the field, ectomorphological and endomorphological soil parameters were determined. The following parameters were determined on the collected soil samples in the humus-accumulative (A) and cambic (B) horizons: particle size distribution of the soil, soil reaction, i.e. pH-value in water and CaCl2 solution, carbonate content, and total carbon and total nitrogen content using the dry burning method. The highest differences in ectomorphological parameters between limestone and dolomite were found in the classification of rockiness and stoneness, where they ranged from very low to very high on limestone, while they were absent on dolomite. On the profiles of calcocambisol on top of dolomite, a higher proportion of sand fractions and less clay than on calcocambisol on top of limestones was found. The dominant soil textural class of calcocambisol on top of limestone was silty clay, while in calcocambisol on top of dolomite it was silty clay loam. The pH-values of the soil and the proportion of CaCO3 on calcocambisol on top of dolomite were statistically significantly higher than on calcocambisol on top of limestone. Since there was no great difference in the fractions of organic carbon and total nitrogen between calcocambisol on top of limestones and dolomites, there was also no great difference in the C/N ratio. The average C/N ratio along the entire profile of calcocambisol on top of limestone and dolomite was 14, i.e. decomposition continued undisturbed and there was no accumulation of raw humus. The hypotheses in this paper were confirmed, and clear differences in the investigated ectomorphological (rockiness and stoniness) and endomorphological (particle size distribution, pH-values and CaCO3 content) properties between calcocambisol on top of limestone and dolomite were observed.
On the base of newly collected material, a new subspecies of the alpine endemic moth Sphaleroptera orientana Whitebread, 2006 (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) from the Pale di San Martino Group (Dolomites, ...Northern Italy) is described. Morphological characters of the adults and DNA barcode suggests the presence of allopatric populations of S. orientana in the South-eastern Alps, attributable to two distinct subspecies: S. o. suborientana Whitebread, 2006 in the Catinaccio, the Sella, and the Fanes group, and Julian Alps, and S. o. meridionalis subs. nov. known from the Pale of San Martino group. The main biogeographic barrier is constituted by the complex of the Fiemme valleys-Val di Fassa-by the Pordoi Pass and by the Val Cordevole which from west to north to east separate the distribution area of S. o. suorientana from S.o. meridionalis.
Global changes are recognized as one of the main drivers of biodiversity changes over time, especially in mountain ecosystems. A key approach to detect and investigate the effect of climate and land ...use change on these ecosystems is represented by vegetation surveys. In this study, based on the resurvey of historical vegetation data, we assessed temporal beta-diversity patterns within and between subalpine and alpine vegetation types in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park. Resurvey was focussed on plots sampled in four main vegetation types: 1 and 2) Mesophytic and xerophytic grasslands on neutral or base-rich soils respectively dominated by Sesleria caerulea and Carex sempervirens and by Sesleria caerulea and Helictotrichon parlatorei; 3) Acidophytic grasslands dominated by Nardus stricta; 4) Snowbeds with dominance of dwarf willows (Salix herbacea or S. retusa) or Luzula alpinopilosa. Our results revealed a pattern of floristic homogenization in grasslands and snowbeds indicating a decreasing heterogeneity, both within and between different vegetation types that can be associated with different components of global change. The highest temporal beta diversity and floristic homogenization were detected in snowbeds. In general, the magnitude of temporal changes differ between communities, thus claiming for conservation activities that are tailored to each vegetation type.

The sword lily
Gladiolus palustris
Gaudin is protected on European level and listed in Annexes II and IV of the EC Habitat Directive 92/43/EEC. It grows in nutrient-poor, calcareous meadows in ...central and eastern Europe. Tree encroachment in montane meadows of the European Alps as a result of recent land use changes and the abandonment of traditional farming practices threaten the survival of this species. Conservation-driven mowing is considered a feasible conservation measure for maintaining high species diversity in abandoned semi-natural grasslands. To assess the effects of ten years of biennial mowing on a grassland community in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park, Italy (Site of Community Importance, Natura 2000 network), ten 25 m
2
plots were established whereby four plots were placed in the mowed area, four in the non-mowed area and two in a small non-mowed patch of grassland inside the mowed area. In each plot the following variables were recorded, total percentage of plant cover, percentage cover of woody species, percentage cover of herbaceous species, percentage cover and number of flowering ramets of
G. palustris
and a complete list of species and their percentage abundance. Mowed plots showed a higher species richness than non-mowed plots. The number of
G. palustris
flowering ramets and percentage cover increased manifold in mowed plots compared to non-mowed plots. The resumption of mowing for conservation purposes undertaken by the managing authority halted the process of tree encroachment and avoided a drastic change in plant composition. Periodic mowing (every second or third year) was demonstrated to be a cost-effective conservation measure in non-productive grasslands to keep grasses at bay in favour of forbs of high conversation value.
