Podatki o količini vode v prsteh Slovenije so skromni in še to so najpogosteje na voljo le v točkovni obliki, kar je težko posplošiti na večje območje. Zato smo razporeditev skušali oceniti na ...podlagi reliefnih podatkov. Kot merilo razporeditve vode v prsti v pokrajini smo uporabili reliefni indeks vlažnosti. Reliefni indeks vlažnosti kaže na stopnjo akumulacije vode v prsti na določeni izbrani lokaciji, ki je funkcija naklona na tej lokaciji in specifične površine porečja gorvodno od te točke.
The book deals with erosion processes in the Slovenian part of Istrian peninsula. In the introductory chapters the fluvial-denudation relief in Slovenia, erosion processes, and their influential ...factors, as well as the extent of erosion processes in Slovenia and Slovene Istria are presented. The largest section of the book is devoted to the presentation of measurements of erosion processes in the Dragonja river basin. Measurements included soil erosion measurements (interrill erosion on three different land uses, rill erosion and wind erosion), measurements of rockwall retreat and movements of debris through an erosion gully, as well as chemical denudation in the river basin.
The book brings a thorough review of landslide susceptibility in Slovenia. In the introductory chapter the most significant geographical and other Slovenian literature on slope processes is listed, ...and then the basic characteristics of landslides are explained. The landslide susceptibility in Slovenia is presented on the example of twelve large landslides, followed by the chapter on legislation on natural disasters in Slovenia.The most important part of the book is the detailed description of methods for elaboration landslide susceptibility maps with different methods. The deterministic, statistical and probabilistic methods and corresponding maps are described into detail. Such maps have been elaborated with the geographical information system using the digital elevation model 25 x 25 m. Landslide susceptibility is finally presented in the framework of the regionalization of Slovenia that had been elaborated by the Anton Melik Geographical Institute SRC SASA and for all Slovenian municipalities. The last chapter of the book is important for geomorphology, describing the role of the landslides for the formation of relief.The book is intended to be used in spatial planning, physical geography, geography of natural hazards and other branches of geography as well as in related sciences.
The book brings a thorough review of slope processes, their causes and consequences. Both, prehistoric and recent slope processes in Slovenia are described into deatil. Authors investigated the main ...characteristics of slope processes according to the type of movement (flow, slide, fall), their extent and effects. As geographers, they are interested mainly in the links between natural processes and man. More than sixty different slope processes in Slovenia are described into detail, based upon field work and examination of numerous sources. In this way all types of slope processes are included and described.Review of circumstances if followed by a discussion about the importance of slope processes for spatial planning as well as methodological and practical instructions for hazarad maps elaboration with different methods. Two deterministic methods and a one probabilistic are presented.The documentary value of the book is also increased by the fact that it brings a chapter about a memory of inhabitants on slope processes, as it has been preserved in sacred literature and aitiological narratives.The book can be used for thorough studies of physical geography and related sciences. Plentiful documentary material makes it useful for everyone who would like to explore nature in Slovenia.
V slovenski geografiji je proučevanje prsti v pokrajini pogosto zanemarjeno kljub temu, da ima pedogeografija znotraj fizične geografije enakovredno mesto v sistemu geografskih ved. Vzroke smemo ...poiskati v zamudnem terenskem proučevanju, dragih laboratorijskih analizah in pedoloških podatkih ter pomanjkanju lastne metodologije. Našteto je de neke mere nadomestimo z drugačnim pristopom, z namenom prikaza prsti obravnavanega območja in iskanja povezav z naravnimi dejavniki. Uporaba lahko dostopnih digitalnih podatkov in kartografskega gradiva, enostavnega terenskega proučevanja, v kombinaciji s sorazmerno preprostimi GIS orodji ter kvantitativnimi metodami omogoča preskokmarsikatere finančne ali časovne ovire.
V knjigi, ki prinaša celovito predstavitev naših visokogorskih jezer, oceno njihovega ekološkega stanja in razlago dogajanj v njih skozi zgodovino, so zbrani rezultati več kot desetletnih raziskav 18 ...avtorjev. V delu je podan geografski opis in nastanek visokogorskih jezer, hidrološke povezave med njimi ter fizikalne in kemijske lastnosti jezerske vode. Opisano je življenje v njih in spremembe, ki so jih jezera doživela v zadnjih stoletjih, opozorjeno pa je tudi na problem onesnaževanja visokogorja.
In comparison to other disasters, snow avalanches endanger only a small part of surface of Slovenia, but they are problematic mostly because of their spatial and temporal unpredictability. Focusing ...on alpine landscape, the author studies the natural geographical characteristics of snow avalanches.
