1. Vegetation of the Stjuža coastal lagoon in Strunjan landscape park (Slovenia) : a draft history, mapping and nature-conservancy evaluationNina Šajna, Mitja Kaligarič, 2005, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: A draft history of the artificial Stjuža coastal lagoon was reconstructed on the basis of old maps (1804 and 1873); and compared with the present-day situation using GIS. The current data were simplified to obtain comparable caregories (landscape units) with old maps. The following major landscape units were distinguished: lagoon, salt marshes, mainland, brackish rivers and estuaries, ditches and canals, salt-pans, embankment, villages and roads. On current map, a total of 47 habitat types according to PHYSIS typology occurring in 206 polygons, which cover an area of 41.6 ha, were identified and described. Habitats with greater nature-conservancy value cover 26.7 ha of the total research area and constitute 40% of the polygons described. 55.6% of these belong to halophilous scrubs - Sarcocornetea fruticosi (= Arthrocnemetea fruticosi) - and 25.9% to annual salt pioneer sward communities, dominated by Salicornia europaea. Mediterranean salt swamps (Juncion maritimi) are present to a small extent only. It could be concluded that the artificial Stjuža lagoon, constructed for fish farming purposes, developed in habitat diverse coastal wetland area after partial abandonment.

2. The harvestmen fauna (Arachnida: Opiliones) from the Sub Mediterranean region of Slovenia - IITone Novak, 2005, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: In the present paper, further findings of harvestmen in the Sub Mediterranean region of Slovenia are presented, and comments on some actual problems with the species are added. With the exception of the possible discovery of a troglobitic species in the region, all species living there have presumptively been recorded. With the exclusion of Trogulus gr. nepaeformis and T. gr. tricarinatus, where more species are expected, 34 species and one subspecies have been found in the region. About 20 opilionid species are typical of the region; the others occur in the marginal habitats bordering other zoogeographical regions.

3. Notes on spermatophores in Cyphophthalmus duricorius Joseph (Arachnida: Opiliones: Sironidae)Tone Novak, 2005, kratki znanstveni prispevek Opis: The spermatophores in the sironid species Cyphophthalmus duricorius duricorius(Joseph, 1868) are presented. They were found in three females in Slovenia. The spermatophores consist of a bulb-like terminal portion, a tubular, and a basal portion, and are very similar to those in C. serbicus (Hadži, 1973).

4. Is variety of species-rich semi-natural Mesobromion grasslands detectable with functional approach?Mitja Kaligarič, Nina Šajna, Sonja Škornik, 2005, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The aim of the study was to compare how the relevés of species-rich dry grasslands (classis Festuco-Brometea) in Central and Eastern Slovenia differ among each other on the basis of floristic composition and of 11 Plant Functional Traits (PFTs). On the basis of floristic structure and cover values, the relevés were classified in three well separated clusters. In the PCA ordination, the first axes suggested a gradient of soil pH, while the second, floristically based gradient, was interpreted as soil humidity. On the basis of selected traits, 3 PFTs were clustered, but not clearly interpreted. Despite differences in environmental parameters across Slovenia (climate, geographical position, altitude, soil conditions) and variety of land use disturbances - drivers of floristic variety, no discernible difference in vegetation structure in terms of selected plant traits were perceived by PCA ordination. It could be concluded that secondary dry grasslands share rather uniform functional types with not clearly detectable structural differences among them.

5. Vegetation of tall rush saltmarshes (Juncetea maritimae) and saltmarsh scrubs (Arthrocnemetea fruticosae) on the Slovenian seacoastMitja Kaligarič, Sonja Škornik, 2007, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Halophyte vegetation of Slovenian sedimentary seacoast was studied according to Braun-Blanquet method. 140 collected relevés were analysed by cluster analysis and five main clusters were separated. Relevés from the first, fourth and fifth clusters were further elaborated in this study. The Juncus maritimus-dominated tall rush saltmarshes of the class Juncetea maritimi were classified within two associations: Limonio-Puccinellietum represented hygrophilous stands, exposed to tide, while the association Juncetum maritimi-acuti was represented with more closed stands with higher species richness, thriving on rather drier sites. With in the saltmarsh scrubs of the class Arthrocnemetea fruticosi, 3 associations, following the declining moisture/salinity gradient were recognized: Puccinellio-Arthrocnemetum, Puccinellio-Halimionetum and Limonio-Artemisietum.

6. Functional comparision of the sub-Mediterranean illyrian meadows from two distinctive geological substratesNataša Pipenbaher, Mitja Kaligarič, Sonja Škornik, 2008, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: In this paper, floristic and functional approaches to the classification of different types of sub-Mediterranean illyrian grasslands of the association Danthonio-Scorzoneretum villose lalliance Scorzonerion villosae, order Scorzoneretalia villosae, class Festuco-Brometea) are compared. The data set includes table with 30 relevés from SW Slovenia, sampled in two contrasting geological bedrocks - flysch and limestone - and matrix with 18 treits determined for 119 plant species. We also tested an impact of different geological bedrock on the relative proportions of C-S-R plant strategies in the relevés. With DCA ordinetion, relevés from limestone and flysch were clearly divided in two groups. First DCA axis suggested a gradient of soil humidity and pH. On the basis of selected traits, 5 Plant Functional Types were clustered and interpreted with Twinspan analysis. PCA ordination of relevés on the basis of plant functional traits revealed that samples from limestone could be separated from those taken on flysch substrate also with functional approach. Reievés from limestone tend to have bigger shares of species, which propagate by seed and vegetatively, and competitors and herbs. Nevertheless, it could be concluded that there are no major functional differences between meadows from both geological substrates. The positions of all relevés in standard C-S-R temary diagram showed that that the relative proportions of C-S-R functional types were not influenced by different geological bedrock.
