The book presents measurements of erosion processes in the Dragonja River basin. The measurements included measurements of soil erosion (specifically, interrill soil erosion on three different land use areas as well as rill erosion and wind erosion), measurements of the sediment production of flysch rocks from steep bare cliffs (measurements of rock-wall retreat), measurements of the movement of released flysch material along an erosion gully, and measurements of chemical denudation in the river basin region.

This monograph presents various aspects of the use of exonyms in Slovenian. The cartographic use of these names rests on a long tradition dating back nearly a century and a half. This study presents the issues related to the use of exonyms in all major Slovenian world atlases, including the Veliki splošni leksikon (Large General Encyclopedia) and Slovenski pravopis (Slovenian Normative Guide). Adapted exonyms are treated based on their regional affiliation and semantic type. The collected material is a basis for standardization of exonyms.
