Maritime spatial planning (MSP) has been developing for years on the basis of international commitments, national legislations, and professional practices. Projects under European Territorial Cooperation have also made an important contribution to its development. They were designed to support EU countries in the implementation of MSP. The projects implemented in Slovenia always covered the entire national sea and coastal zone. In accordance with the MSP Directive, the countries of Northern Adriatic are currently preparing the first generation of maritime spatial plans, largely based on the experience and results gained from these projects. This article presents the results of research aimed at assessing the contribution of the projects to the preparation of the first plan in Slovenia. Using a descriptive research method, a detailed analysis of the results of seven projects was conducted and compared with the content of the draft plan. A comparison was made and the proportion of the results implementation in the draft plan was determined for the following structural elements: development baselines, objectives and guidelines; expert bases; stakeholders and public participation; sectoral interests; administrative competences; international dimension; and databases and analytical tools. A high degree of coherence was found, showing the obvious contribution of the projects at the methodological and structural levels.

Rapid expansion of settlements and related infrastructures is a global trend that comes with severe environmental, economic, and social costs. Steering urbanization toward well-balanced compactness is thus acknowledged as an important strategic orientation in UN Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG-11) via the SDG-indicator “Ratio of land consumption rate to population growth rate.” The EU’s simultaneous commitment to being “a frontrunner in implementing […] the SDGs” and to striving for “no net land take until 2050” calls for relating the concepts of land consumption and land take to each other. Drawing on an EU-centred questionnaire study, a focus group and a literature review, we scrutinize definitions of land consumption and land take, seeking to show how they are interrelated, and questioning the comparability of respective indicators. We argue that conceptual clarifications and a bridging of the two notions are much needed, and that the precision required for definitions and applications is context-dependent. While approximate understandings may suffice for general communication and dissemination objectives, accurate and consistent interpretations of the discussed concepts seem indispensable for monitoring and reporting purposes. We propose ways of addressing existing ambiguities and suggest prioritizing the term land take in the EU context. Thereby, we aim to enhance conceptual clarity around land consumption and land take—a precondition for solidly informing respective policies and decisions.

Glavni namen članka je prikaz postopka prepoznavanja in klasifikacije geomorfoloških oblik kopastega krasa na štirih različnih območjih v Sloveniji ter na podlagi morfometrične analize podati nove ugotovitve o Dinarskem kopastem krasu. Analiza je potekala s pomočjo programskega orodja ArcMap 10.4.1, kjer smo oblike prepoznali s pomočjo orodja Fill. Avtorja ugotavljata, da je kopasti kras zelo raznolik tip površja, ki se od območja do območja razlikuje. Največji vpliv na oblikovanost vrhov pripisujeta strukturnim geološkim razmeram ter globini vadozne cone.

There is a considerable amount of confusion in soil-related topics at all levels of Slovenian education. The fundamental problem is the use of the term “soil”. We use several different terms for more or less the same natural phenomenon. Other problems include the lack of an official Slovenian soil classification, the occasional use of out-of-date soil topics in primary and secondary education, the inexpert use of soil names for soil types of the World, and very few higher education soil specialisations. There are a lot of existing initiatives to improve the current state, but there are still a lot of obstacles impeding this process.

Koncept geodiverzitete obstaja že več kot 20 let. Večina metod vrednotenja geodiverzitete se uporablja za ugotavljanje geokonzervatorskega ali geoturističnega potenciala. Metode, s katerimi bi lahko vrednotili izobraževalni potencial geodiverzitete, so zelo redke. Glavni cilj našega članka je podati novo metodo vrednotenja geodiverzitete za določanje izobraževalnega potenciala proučevanega območja. Metoda je uporabna za učne namene, ko učitelji načrtujejo organizacijo strokovnih ekskurzij ali terenskega dela.

The parent material is considered the most important of Slovenia’s soil formation factors. Chemically, only partially changed parent material heavily influences soil properties. 93% of the Slovenian territory is composed of sedimentary rocks, mainly limestone and dolomite, and only 4% belongs to the metamorphic group, while 3% is of magmatic origin. After the parent material, topography is certainly deemed to be Slovenia’s next most important and prominent natural soil formation factor. Very young structural relief predominates, which has a direct impact on the soil water and micro- and mezzo-climatic conditions. The influence of climate on Slovenian soils is more general; it is mostly considered to be a constant and does not have an important interregional distinguishing aspect. Due to its importance, water as a soil formation factor deserves a special place in the Slovenian Soil Classification, since on the first level of classification soil is divided on the basis of hydromorphism. Forests thrive in Slovenia due to the natural conditions. Most of the Slovenian territory is covered by forests (66%), which ranks Slovenia as the third most forested country in Europe, while agriculture occupies only 27.8% of the country. Time is reflected mostly in the very young parent material briefly exposed to soil formation factors; the land is therefore covered with young and mostly shallow soils.

This chapter briefly explains the general and geographical features of Slovenia, a country located in Central Europe bordering Italy, Austria, Hungary, and Croatia. Geographically, it is situated where four large European regions meet—the Alps, the Pannonian Basin, the Dinaric Mountains, and the Mediterranean. This endows Slovenia with extreme natural diversity, probably one of the highest levels in Europe. As a result of this situation, there are five main natural regions in Slovenia: (1) the mountainous Alpine Region—glacially reshaped and transformed, it features the highest altitudes, the steepest slopes, and high rates of precipitation; (2) the hilly, largely forested Pre-Alpine Region, with swift alternations between carbonate and noncarbonate parent materials; (3) the forested and agricultural Karstic–Dinaric Region, with an absence of surface waters and the absolute dominance of soluble and permeable limestone and dolomite; (4) the lowland Sub-Pannonian Region, with its hot continental climate in summer, significantly lower mean annual precipitation, undulating hills, and flat river plains; and, finally, (5) the warmest of them all, the Sub-Mediterranean Region—the coast of the Adriatic Sea.

Od 19. st. dalje se z intenzifikacijo živinoreje in vse večjih potreb po mesnih izdelkih za krmo živine uporabljajo predvsem rastline z velikim hektarskim donosom in hranljivostjo. Med njimi prevladuje silažna koruza, ki je zelo ranljiva za pomanjkanje vode ter vročinske valove, če se ti pojavijo v ključnih fenofazah. V članku z vidika kriterija rastlinske odpornosti na sušo in ekonomike pridelovanja iščemo možnosti uporabe drugih krmnih rastlin, predvsem krmnih žit in metuljnic, kot alternativo silažni koruzi.

The book (‘Geography and plant succession. Selected examples from Slovene regions’) is dealing with ecological succession which is one of three kinds of changes in vegetation. The other two are regeneration (or the result of necrosis and regrowth of organisms) and fluctuation (or changes in biomass in longer and shorter time cycles–also seasonal changes). Ecological succession or ecological sequence can be understood as a temporal-spatial clarification of the evolutionary development of a community from bare soil to a stable community which is balanced with its environment. The book is divided in two parts. In the first part, succession is presented on a theoretical basis. The development of the concept of succession through history, its mechanisms and processes carried on in it are clarified. Different types of succession as well as pioneer species and climax societies as the starting and final point of the process under consideration are described. In separated chapters, invasive species and soils as well as their role in succession are discussed. In the second part, individual selected environments (gravel pits in rivers, screes, rockfall areas, fire areas and construction pits) where the two major types of succession are prevailing are presented. Knjiga obravnava ekološko sukcesijo, ki sestavlja eno od treh vrst sprememb v rastlinstvu. Poleg nje sta zastopani še regeneracija oziroma rezultat odmiranja in ponovne rasti organizmov, in fluktuacija oziroma spremembe v biomasi v daljših in krajših časovnih ciklih (tudi sezonske spremembe).Ekološko sukcesijo ali ekološko zaporedje lahko razumemo kot časovno-prostorsko pojasnitev evolucijskega razvoja neke združbe od golih tal do ustaljene, s svojim okoljem uravnotežene združbe.Knjiga je razdeljena v dva dela. V prvem je sukcesija predstavljena na teoretični ravni. Pojasnjeni so razvoj njenega koncepta skozi zgodovino, njeni mehanizmi in procesi, ki potekajo v njej. Opisani so različni tipi sukcesij ter pionirske vrste in klimaksne združbe kot začetni in končni pol obravnavanega procesa. V ločenih poglavjih so obravnavane invazivne vrste ter prsti in njihova vloga v sukcesiji. V drugem delu pa so predstavljena posamezna izbrana okolja (rečna prodišča, melišča, podorno gradivo, požarišča in gradbene jame), kjer prevladujeta glavna tipa sukcesije.

Prva ekskurzija Ljubljanskega geografskega društva onstran »Luže« je udeležence popeljala v najbolj zahodno ameriško zvezno državo Kalifornijo, ki ima med vsemi državami v Združenih državah največ prebivalcev. Bolj kot seznanjanju s tamkajšnjim mestnim načinom življenja je bila namenjena ogledom in spoznavanju mnogih naravnogeografskih zanimivosti, ki jih varujejo narodni parki in naravni rezervati. Mnogi pojavi se pojavljajo v presežnikih. V narodnem parku Dolina smrti, kjer je najnižja točka severnoameriške celine, so najvišje temperature tega dela sveta, v narodnem parku Sekvoja rastejo največja živa bitja na svetu, orjaški mamutovci, v White Mountains nad jezerom Mono najstarejša znana drevesa na našem planetu, v rezervatu severno od San Francisca pa najvišja drevesa na Zemlji, obalne sekvoje. Vodniček uporabnika popelje po najbolj zanimivih kotičkih »Zlate države«, kakršen je uradni vzdevek Kalifornije, in jo tako nazorno predstavi v vsej naravni in družbeni raznolikosti, ne ogne pa se niti razvojnim problemom niti prav za ta del sveta tako značilnemu glamurju.
