Abstract
At Cerkniško Jezero, a major intermittent lake, work has been focused on the effect of water level fluctuation on nutrient concentrations in the rhisosphere of the common reed (Phragmites communis). The vitality of roots and their distribution along the vertical profile of the substratum have been studied. After prolonged periods of flooding, the vitality of roots has been found to increase, with the consequence that the reed spreads to unoccupied neighbouring areas. The influence of water level fluctuation has also been studied on two amphibian species, Batrachyum trychophyllum and Myosotis palustris. These investigations were carried out as part of the EU project UV-AQTER –“The role of UV-B radiation on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems: an experimental and functional analysis of the evolution of protective and adaptive mechanisms in plants”. Interdisciplinary studies, combining biology, chemistry, hydrology and geology, have been carried out on three mountain lakes in the Julian Alps. From the biological standpoint, we determined the seasonal variation of the quality and quantity of zooplankton, phytoplankton, periphyton and macrophytes. Microfossils (Cladocera and diatoms) were examined in order to obtain an insight into environmental and climatic changes in the Julian Alps over the past 300 years. Particular attention was paid to the effect of introducing fish into mountain lakes, as recorded in the sediment. Studies of sediment and biota were combined under the European project MOLAR - Measuring and modelling the dynamic response of remote mountain lake ecosystems to environmental changes. A further activity is to determine the amplitude and pattern of migration of zooplankton in a fish-free and clear-water mountain lake. The aim is to examine the effect of light, including UV radiation, on this phenomenon. The first set of samples have been collected. Long term studies on the nesting success of the long ear owl (Asio otus) have continued since their inception in 1984. The number of nests per area, number of eggs and fledglings, their survival rate in relation to the amount of prey and weather conditions have all been recorded.
