Expert bases for determining the priorities of the Republic of Slovenia in the field of environment and efficient use of resources and identification of the themes that are most suitable for co-financing from the LIFE program

In the framework of the project task, we prepared guidelines on the thematic priorities from the Multi-annual LIFE work program for the period 2014–2017 in the priority area Environment and efficient use of resources, and Environmental management and information for Lot 1: water, including the marine environment. The thematic priorities...

Remote sensing of large river hydromorphological characteristics and impact assessment on biotic communities

The project’s aim is to identify and compare impacts of different stressors (hydromorphological alterations, pollution, land use), acting on different spatial scales (reach, segment, catchment), on benthic macroinvertebrate and fish communities in Slovenian large rivers, as well as to analyse the comparability between field survey and remote sensing based hydromorphological...

Development of fish based ecological status assessment and classification methods of lake water bodies

Fisheries Research Institute of Slovenia in cooperation with Institute for Water of the Republic of Slovenia were investigating suitability of european fish based ecological status assessment method of alpine lakes for Slovenia considering the Water Framework Directive requirements (possible sampling approaches, metrics used, stressors considered, definition of reference conditions and...

The development of methods for ecological status assessment of dinaric rivers downstream of karst spring based on benthic invertebrates

Benthic invertebrates are one of biological quality elements used for assessment of hydromorphological modification impacts. Within this task assessment method was developed for hydromorphological alteration/general degradation influence based on benthic invertebrate assemblages for river ecological types in ecoregion Dinaric western Balkan, for which no assessment method for hydromorphological alteration/general degradation...
