The impact of ski slopes management on Krvavec ski resort (Slovenia) on hydrological functions of soils

Slope management system plays an important role in soil water dynamics on Krvavec ski slopes. More intensive disturbance of slopes means generally less water to be held in the soil. The difference in soil water dynamic becomes even more enhanced taking into consideration the share of skeleton particles which is higher where the ski slopes have been graded by machines. Soil hydrological functions are more appropriate for plants and potential re-vegetation on less disturbed ski slopes than on machine graded slopes.

Ski slope impact on soil and vegetation

Mountain ecosystems such as managed pastures are rich in plant species, but also highly susceptible to any disturbances. A complete review of ski slope impacts on soil and vegetation is performed in an article, which pointed out the impacts of machine-graded ski slopes on soil and plant species diversity and relationships between species composition distribution and studied ecological parameters.

Nature conservation and environmental pollution in the case of Krvavec - questionnaire of visitors and local pastoral community members.

Results of a survey and analysis of opinions of visitors and local pastoral community members based on questionnaire analyses from 2009 are presented and discussed as an important source of information for landscape management planning.

Enhanced ozone strongly reduces carbon sink strength of adult beech (Fagus sylvatica)

Ozone influences physiology of assimilation organs, roots and mycorrhiza. The study is closely related to the ski area Krvavec where ozone concentrations are above the Slovenian average.

Modelling drainage fluxes in managed and natural forests in the Dinaric karst: a model comparison study.

Two models for calculating the forest water balance were applied in two hydrologically contrasting growing seasons, WATBALand BROOK90. Average calculated drainage fluxes of the two growing seasons were highest in the gaps and lowest in the non-managed stand. The greater complexity of the BROOK90 model meant it could be parameterized to describe more fully the complexity of soil properties.
