1. Germination characteristics of Salicornia patula Duval-Jouve, S. emerici Duval-Jouve, and S. veneta Pign. et Lausi and their occurrence in CroatiaNina Šajna, Marjana Regvar, Simona Kaligarič, Željko Škvorc, Mitja Kaligarič, 2013, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: According to recent molecular analyses of Salicornia, we revised the annual glassworts from the Croatian coast, classified until now only as Salicornia europaea. Two species, a diploid Salicornia patula and a tetraploid S. emerici were recognized. They can be easily distinguished by floral characters, but not only by their habitus, which varies extremely according to environmental factors. Both species differ also in seed morphology. Salicornia patula has dimorphic seeds, with larger central seeds reaching high germination rates. Germination patterns helped to explain the habitat preferences. The species rarely co-occur, however. The rare S. patula occupies drier habitats, on coastal mudflats or sands that are irregularly inundated. It occurs within the assoc. Suaedo maritimae-Salicornietum patulae. Salicornia emerici occupies the lowest coastal mudflats, regularly inundated, where nutrient-rich conditions prevail, and forms an almost monotypical assoc. Salicornietum emerici. Due to the synonymy of S. veneta with S. emerici, we exclude the occurrence of S. veneta in Croatia as an independent taxon.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Vegetation of silicicolous grasslands of the highlands of North-Eastern SloveniaSonja Škornik, Martina Lončar, Mitja Kaligarič, 2006, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Vegetation of the silicicolous grasslands of the highlands of North-Eastern Slovenia has been sampled with standard Braun-Blanquet procedure. All the 102 collected releves have been classified within the order Nardetalia Oberd. ex Preising 1949. The association Homogyno alpinae-Nardetum Mráz 1956 (all. Nardo-Agrostion tenuis Sillinger 1933) has been stated, inside which the typical form and the transitional forms to the heaths with Ericaceae have been distinguished. Chorology, life forms and spontaneous reforestation are discussed and nature-conservancy issue is mentioned.

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.

10. Survival and expansion of Pistia stratiotes L. in a thermal stream in SloveniaNina Šajna, Maja Haler, Sonja Škornik, Mitja Kaligarič, 2007, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: We report about successful winter survival of a tropical plant Pistia stratiotes in a natural thermal stream Topla in Slovenia in temperate climate zone in central Europe. Only 2 years after its first occurrence in 2001 P. stratiotes managed to cover most of the water body where the thermal springs cause an elevated temperature (>17 °C year round). Enhanced biomass production of this invasive species took place in spring and summer and new stolons were formed at the end of the vegetation season. Over the winter older rosettes decayed and only small rosettes survived besides new rosettes formed from stolons. Plants developed flowers in April through August. Observations in December revealed viable seed production and seed presence in the sediment.
