In 2021, three new sites of the species were discovered. In addition to these previously unknown occurrences, a detailed study of a roadside occurrence known for a longer time but not yet published was carried out. Main aim of our study was to find out how habitat management practices, such as mowing and winter-deicing effects seed mass and germination. Seeds collected earlier had significantly lower mass than those from later collections, suggesting that late-spring mowing would be optimal for the reproduction of M. alliacea. The type of mowing (chopping the stem into small pieces or cutting the stem at one point at few centimetres above ground) had no significant effect on seed germination but did have a significant effect on the seed mass. Seed mass deriving from whole individuals was significantly higher than seed mass of chopped individuals, suggesting, that traditional mowing methods are better than the use of modern lawnmowers for the survival of the species. The highest NaCl (used for winter-deicing) concentration where germination was observed was 0.75 m/m% (mass percentage), which is comparable with strongly saline soils in nature. The newly discovered sites were all disturbed, one of which was located on roadsides (paved and dirt roads) and two on embankments, suggesting that anthropogenic habitats could be optimal for the species, but the long-term survival depends on the management of these habitats.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1365-3180}, pages = {237-245} } @article{MTMT:33645158, title = {Environmental heterogeneity increases the conservation value of small natural features in karst landscapes}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33645158}, author = {Bátori, Zoltán and Valkó, Orsolya and Vojtkó, András and Tölgyesi, Csaba and Farkas, Tünde and Frei, Kata and Hábenczyus, Alida Anna and Tóth, Ágnes and Li, Gábor and Rádai, Zoltán and Dulai, Sándor András and Barta, Károly and Erdős, László and Deák, Balázs}, doi = {10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.162120}, journal-iso = {SCI TOTAL ENVIRON}, journal = {SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT}, volume = {872}, unique-id = {33645158}, issn = {0048-9697}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1879-1026}, orcid-numbers = {Bátori, Zoltán/0000-0001-9915-5309; Valkó, Orsolya/0000-0001-7919-6293; Tölgyesi, Csaba/0000-0002-0770-2107; Rádai, Zoltán/0000-0001-7011-5055; Erdős, László/0000-0002-6750-0961; Deák, Balázs/0000-0001-6938-1997} } @article{MTMT:34219655, title = {Topographic depressions can provide climate and resource microrefugia for biodiversity}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34219655}, author = {Frei, Kata and Vojtkó, András and Farkas, Tünde and Erdős, László and Barta, Károly and E-Vojtkó, Anna and Tölgyesi, Csaba and Bátori, Zoltán}, doi = {10.1016/j.isci.2023.108202}, journal-iso = {ISCIENCE}, journal = {ISCIENCE}, volume = {26}, unique-id = {34219655}, abstract = {Microrefugia are often located within topographically complex regions where stable environmental conditions prevail.

To fill this knowledge gap, we studied the effects of microclimatic conditions and soil resources on plant species occurrence within and adjacent to 30 large topographic depressions (i.e., dolines) in two distant karst regions. Our results showed that both microclimate and soil resource availability may play a key role in maintaining climate change-sensitive species and biodiversity in dolines; therefore, they may simultaneously act as climate and resource microrefugia.

We aim to highlight the applicability of high-resolution relief laser scanning data in geomorphological studies of karst depressions. We set two goals: geomorphometrically to characterize depressions in different karst plateaus and to examine the influence of data preprocessing and detection methods on the results. The study was performed in three areas of the Slovene Dinaric Karst using the following steps: preprocessing digital elevation models (DEMs), enclosed depression detection, calculating geomorphometric characteristics, and comparing the characteristics of selected areas. We discovered that different combinations of methods influenced the number and geomorphometric characteristics of depressions. The range of detected depressions in the three areas were 442-491, 364-403, and 366-504, and the share of the depressions' area confirmed with all the approaches was 23%, 29%, and 47%, which resulted in different geomorphometric properties. Comparisons between the study areas were also influenced by the methods, which was confirmed by the Mann-Whitney test. We concluded that preprocessing of high-resolution relief data and the detection methods in karst environments significantly impact analyses and must be taken into account when interpreting geomorphometric results.}, keywords = {LIDAR; Geographic Information Systems; geomorphology; Geomorphometry; Digital elevation model (DEM); Doline}, year = {2022}, eissn = {2072-4292}, orcid-numbers = {Ciglic, Rok/0000-0003-3517-3780; Conc, Spela/0000-0002-2110-8542} } @article{MTMT:32663353, title = {Dolines and Cats: Remote Detection of Karst Depressions and Their Application to Study Wild Felid Ecology}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32663353}, author = {Čonč, Špela and Oliveira, Teresa and Portas, Ruben and Černe, Rok and Breg Valjavec, Mateja and Krofel, Miha}, doi = {10.3390/rs14030656}, journal-iso = {REMOTE SENS-BASEL}, journal = {REMOTE SENSING}, volume = {14}, unique-id = {32663353}, year = {2022}, eissn = {2072-4292}, orcid-numbers = {Portas, Ruben/0000-0002-0686-0701; Breg Valjavec, Mateja/0000-0002-7581-758X; Krofel, Miha/0000-0002-2010-5219} } @article{MTMT:33273134, title = {Karst Dolines Support Highly Diversified Soil Collembola Communities—Possible Refugia in a Warming Climate?}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33273134}, author = {Marcin, Michal and Raschmanová, Natália and Miklisová, Dana and Šupinský, Jozef and Kaňuk, Ján and Kováč, Ľubomír}, doi = {10.3390/d14121037}, journal-iso = {DIVERSITY-BASEL}, journal = {DIVERSITY (BASEL)}, volume = {14}, unique-id = {33273134}, abstract = {Karst dolines, as geomorphologically diverse natural landforms, usually exhibit more or less steep microclimatic gradients that provide a mosaic of diverse microhabitat conditions, resulting in a high diversity of soil biota with numerous rare endemic and/or relict species occupying these habitats. In this study, we investigated the spatial patterns of Collembola abundance, species richness, community structure and distribution of functional groups at topographically and microclimatically different sites across three open (unforested) karst dolines in a north-south direction in the Slovak Karst, Slovakia. We also assessed the refugial capacity of dolines for collembolan communities. The Friedman ANOVA test confirmed the significant differences in soil mean temperatures between the sites of all the dolines selected. The diverse soil microclimatic conditions within the dolines supported higher Collembola diversity (species numbers, diversity indices) compared with sites on the karst plateau and showed a potential to facilitate the persistence of some species that are absent or very rare in the surrounding landscape. In dolines with circular morphology and comparable size, the topography and soil microclimate had a stronger effect on community composition and structure than soil organic carbon. Shallow solution dolines provided microhabitats for various functional groups of soil Collembola in relation to the microclimatic character of the individual sites. It was observed that such landforms can also function as microclimatic refugia for cold-adapted species through the accumulation of colder air and the buffering of the local microclimate against the ambient mesoclimate, thus underlying the necessity of adequate attention in terms of the conservation of the karst natural phenomena.}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1424-2818}, orcid-numbers = {Marcin, Michal/0000-0002-2433-7527; Šupinský, Jozef/0000-0003-1400-4021; Kováč, Ľubomír/0000-0001-8194-2128} } @article{MTMT:33219092, title = {Assessing Karst Landscape Degradation: A Case Study in Southern Italy}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33219092}, author = {Pisano, Luca and Zumpano, Veronica and Pepe, Mariangela and Liso, Isabella Serena and Parise, Mario}, doi = {10.3390/land11101842}, journal-iso = {LAND-BASEL}, journal = {LAND (BASEL)}, volume = {11}, unique-id = {33219092}, abstract = {Karst regions are peculiar due to their environmental and ecological features and hold a rich abundance of natural resources; nonetheless, they represent one of the most endangered areas in the world as a result of human activity. Further, urbanization and modernization of agricultural practices over the years determined an acceleration in the degradation of the karst environment. For a long period in the Apulia region, humans used to live in a sustainable equilibrium with the karst landscape; however, during the 1980s and 1990s, an intense conversion of land cover interested the area, determining a high disturbance of the karst landforms and landscape degradation. In this article, we propose an insight into a case study placed in the Alta Murgia area (Apulia, Italy) to analyze the evolution of the karst landscape over a period of 50 years (1954-2006) by means of geomorphological analysis and multi-temporal photo interpretation. Landcover mapping is carried out to catch landscape modification, and further, obliteration of the karst features through time is also detected. Changes are quantified, and related statistics are derived. Furthermore, to better characterize the area, the main morphometric parameters are also computed for doline. Finally, extensive fieldwork is carried out to verify the current state of the mapped elements and to check the most peculiar observed cases of land cover and karst landform transformations. Results show the intensive transformation experienced by the study site in the period 1973-2006, determined by the substantial land cover transition from pasture and permanent crops to cultivated areas. Further, the main karst features, such as doline and shallow valleys with flat bottoms, also locally known as lame, are partially or totally obliterated by agricultural practices.}, keywords = {geomorphology;

River embankments have become one of the most extensive and widespread secondary habitats in former floodplains. We compared the diversity patterns of secondary dry and wet grasslands on river embankments with those of seminatural dry and wet grasslands in a Hungarian agricultural landscape using the following community descriptors: (a) species diversity, (b) phylogenetic diversity and (c) functional diversity. We also performed trait-based analyses to evaluate the ecosystem services provided by these secondary grasslands. Both grassland types of the embankments showed significantly higher Shannon diversity compared with their seminatural counterparts. The cover of generalist species (i.e., cosmopolitan species, weeds and nonindigenous plant species) was high in the secondary grasslands. We found significant differences in phylogenetic diversity between the secondary and seminatural grasslands: secondary grasslands showed significantly lower mean nearest taxon distances than the seminatural grasslands. Functional diversity did not differ between the secondary and seminatural grasslands according to the Rao's quadratic entropy. However, we found higher community-weighted means of specific leaf area, plant height and flowering period in the secondary grasslands, which are related to important ecosystem services (via biomass production and pollination). Well-planned management actions and restoration activities could help further improve the ecological function and conservation value of secondary grasslands on river embankments, contributing to the maintenance of species diversity and sustaining the functionality of ecosystems in agricultural landscapes.}, keywords = {ecosystem services; Functional diversity; functional traits; phylogenetic diversity; secondary grasslands}, year = {2020}, eissn = {1535-1467}, pages = {1160-1170}, orcid-numbers = {Bátori, Zoltán/0000-0001-9915-5309; Tölgyesi, Csaba/0000-0002-0770-2107; Deák, Balázs/0000-0001-6938-1997; Valkó, Orsolya/0000-0001-7919-6293; Erdős, László/0000-0002-6750-0961} } @article{MTMT:31711260, title = {Effects of various cutting treatments and topographic factors on microclimatic conditions in Dinaric fir-beech forests}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31711260}, author = {Kermavnar, Janez and Ferlan, Mitja and Marinsek, Aleksander and Eler, Klemen and Kobler, Andrej and Kutnar, Lado}, doi = {10.1016/j.agrformet.2020.108186}, journal-iso = {AGR FOREST METEOROL}, journal = {AGRICULTURAL AND FOREST METEOROLOGY}, volume = {295}, unique-id = {31711260}, issn = {0168-1923}, abstract = {Forest microclimate is strongly affected by local topography and management activities, as these directly alter overstory structure. In the present work we analysed the dependence of observed patterns of spatio-temporal microclimatic variations on topographic, canopy- and management-related factors. A forestry experiment was conducted in managed fir-beech forests in the Dinaric Mountains (Slovenia), which are characterized by rugged karstic terrain with numerous sinkholes. In 2012, cutting treatments representing a range in the intensity of overstory removal were performed: uncut controls (CON), 50% cut of stand growing stock (intermediate management intensity - IMI) and 100% cut (high management intensity - HMI) creating 0.4 ha canopy gaps. Fine-scale variation in aspect and slope and its effects on microclimate was assessed by comparing central, south-facing and north-facing within-sinkhole positions. We measured microclimatic variables (air temperature - T, relative humidity - RH) 0.5 m above the ground over three consecutive post-treatment growing seasons. Microclimatic variables showed an increase (T and vapour pressure deficit - VPD) or decrease (RH) with management intensity. Daily T-max and VPDmax in HMI treatment were up to 5.9 degrees C (on average 3.5 degrees C) and up to 1.4 kPa (on average 0.6 kPa) higher than those in CON treatment, respectively, whereas daily RHmin was up to 22.7 (on average 13.0) percentage points lower. Regarding intra-seasonal patterns, microclimatic differences between treatments were largest during the summer. South-facing plots in the HMI treatment overall exhibited the most extreme conditions, i.e. the highest T-max and lowest RHmin. Differences in microclimate between treatments were strongly modulated by canopy cover. The results also suggest that overstory removal increases topography-mediated variation in microclimate, as evidenced by significant differences in T, RH and VPD along the fine-scale topographic gradient within the created canopy gaps.}, keywords = {SOIL; AIR; VEGETATION; moisture; Forestry; air temperature; agronomy; EDGE; SPATIAL VARIABILITY; INTERIOR; relative humidity; vapour pressure deficit; Clear-cut; Tree cutting; Karst topography; RETENTION HARVESTS}, year = {2020}, eissn = {1873-2240} } @article{MTMT:30617355, title = {The effects of intensive logging on the capacity of karst dolines to provide potential microrefugia for cool-adapted plants}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30617355}, author = {Kiss, Péter János and Tölgyesi, Csaba and Bóni, I. and Erdős, László and Vojtkó, András and Maák, István Elek and Bátori, Zoltán}, doi = {10.3986/AGS.6817}, journal-iso = {ACTA GEOGR SLOV}, journal = {ACTA GEOGRAPHICA SLOVENICA}, volume = {60}, unique-id = {30617355}, issn = {1581-6613}, year = {2020}, eissn = {1581-8314}, pages = {37-48}, orcid-numbers = {Tölgyesi, Csaba/0000-0002-0770-2107; Erdős, László/0000-0002-6750-0961; Maák, István Elek/0000-0002-0999-4916; Bátori, Zoltán/0000-0001-9915-5309} } @article{MTMT:31319404, title = {The significance of karst areas in European national parks and geoparks}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31319404}, author = {Telbisz, Tamás Ferenc and Mari, László}, doi = {10.1515/geo-2020-0008}, journal-iso = {OPEN GEOSCI}, journal = {OPEN GEOSCIENCES}, volume = {12}, unique-id = {31319404}, issn = {2391-5447}, year = {2020}, eissn = {2391-5447}, pages = {117-132}, orcid-numbers = {Telbisz, Tamás Ferenc/0000-0003-4471-2889; Mari, László/0000-0002-3382-7800} }
