Abstract
The project is a continuation of the project ''''Air pollution in the Triglav National Park and its effect on forest and waters - Atmosphere and National Park, which dealt with forest until timber line. The purpose of the project goes on with investigations in the subalpine belt, at the timber line and within the Pinus mugo belt. the purpose of the project is to investigate biodiversity and state of this type of forest ecosystem on the base of growth analysis and condition of ''''Krumholz'''', Norway spruce and European larch, using methods of bioindication and principles of stress physiology (growth analysis, analysis of biochemical responses to stress: photosynthetic pigments, protective substances, nutrients, analysis of epiphytes, mycorrhiza, soils and ground vegetation). The aim is to screen the present state of the system, and find out disturbances caused by antropogenic activity (long range air pollutant input, eutrophycation, photooxidants, climate chang; influence of turism and other land use) which cause contemporary environmental changes, connected with climate change. For evaluation of antropogenic influences the campaign measurements of air pollutants and precipitation in planned besides assesment of bioindication response. Regulary climate and air pollution measurements carried out by state service will be used. The results of the investigation will contribute valuable data to the assesment of the endangerment of the environment according to the natural circumstances and present and future man activities and thus give a solid base for the future management with the park.
