The monograph presents local dialects in Slovenia and Croatia. The local dialects researched which lie in the south of Slovenia are classified into northern part of Kostel dialect, which is a part of ...Lower Carniolan dialect group of Slovene language, according to traditional Slovene dialectology. Demarcation between Slovene (and Croatian) language and their dialects using political border between Slovenia and Croatia in this area is a reflection of solely sociolinguistic, not an all-encompassing linguistic thought, which would take into account developmental linguistic characteristics of these local dialects and demarcate between them on the basis of historical linguistic development. A hypothesis was to be proven, using defining characteristics of Slovene language system, that some of the local dialects, currently classified into West Goran subdialect of Goran dialect of Croatian language are, from linguogenetic perspective, a part of the same language system as the north part of Kostel dialect (according to old nomenclature) or Čabranka dialect (according to new nomenclature) - i.e., these local dialects are a part of Slovene language system and not Croatian Kajkavian regiolect. Sociolinguistic aspects of language or nationality were a subject neither of interest nor of research.
Although natural basis cannot be a decisive criterion in defining borders, historical and politico-geographic development of the researched area reveals that natural bounds have been considerably ...used in the boundary demarcation between the Republic of Croatia and Republic of Slovenia. This can be also concluded for the analyzed sectors which are tied with the Žumberak Mountain and the Kupa and Čabranka River valleys. Besides natural favours (the boundary line runs over the top ridges of the mountain massif of Žumberak/Gorjanci, as well as along the river flows), one must point out the fact that it is adapted to spatial organization of the borderland. Therefore, the boundary line is subsequent and co-operative here. Evolutionally, the border and borderland developed from terra nullius, frontier, and, finally, since the 16th century, have become a boundary line on the rivers Kupa and Čabranka, and since 1816, on Žumberak. Consequently, in spite of disputes in particular historical periods about the researched area's state and property appurtenance, the border has a centuries-old continuity. This can explain that nowadays the quoted sectors are least disputable in the boundary demarcation of the two sovereignties.
The first record of the terrestrial green alga Trentepohlia aurea for Croatia was made in 1890 in the area of the Krka River, and has remained until this day the only record of this globally ...widespread species in the country. During studies related to aquatic vegetation, the species was finally rediscovered from the area of Plitvice Lakes, in the Gorski kotar region and near Vukova Gorica village, after 130 years during which no records were made. All recorded populations formed round, woolly, orange-red patches on the surface of rocks and concrete walls, partly forming a community with bryophytes and lichens. In some cases in these mixed communities, Trentepohlia thalli overgrew bryophytes blocking their access to nutrients, water and light. This long period of lack of records of T. aurea in Croatia is mostly a consequence of the discontinuity in research on certain algal groups in Croatia.

Prvi nalaz kopnene zelene alge Trentepohlia aurea u Hrvatskoj potječe iz 1890. godine iz područja uz rijeku Krku, i do danas je to za Hrvatsku bio jedini nalaz ove globalno raširene vrste. Tijekom ...istraživanja vodene vegetacije vrsta je ponovno, nakon 130 godina, pronađena na području Plitvičkih jezera, u
Gorskom kotaru, i blizu sela Vukova Gorica. Sve zabilježene populacije činile su okrugle, vunaste, narančasto-crvene nakupine na površini stijena i betonskih zidova, čineći djelomično zajednicu s mahovinama i lišajevima. U nekim slučajevima ovih miješanih zajednica, talusi alge Trentepohlia prerastali su mahovine, blokirajući im pristup nutrijentima, vodi i svjetlu. Dugački period bez nalaza alge T. aurea u Hrvatskoj većinom je posljedica prekida u istraživanjima nekih skupina algi.
