Abstract: The need of wood for building and heating, the extensive grazing and population growth in the 18th and 19th centuries led to turning the Karst area in Slovenia into a bare land. In the 19th century organised reforestation started which was successfully performed with Black pine (Pinus nigra J. F. Arnold). Later on, the reforestation was replaced by the process of spontaneous afforestation. The successfulness of reforestation with Black pine also made it possible for the native tree species to grow. The abandoning of the use of agricultural land also contributes to the spontaneous afforestation. In this project we determined the changes in forest cover through time. We used aerial photographs from the years 1957, 1975, 1985 and 2015. By drawing polygons on the maps in the QGIS programme on the areas that are covered with forests, are overgrown or are used for agricultural purpose we compared the areas from the maps of different years. We found out that the area covered with forest had increased by more than 50 % from the year 1957 to 2015. The increase in the area of forest cover due to afforestation provides new habitats for fauna and flora to live in.

Senescence: Utekočinjeni čas
Robertina Šebjanič, Andreea Oarga-Mulec, Tea Hvala, exhibition

Abstract: Projekt s čutno potopitvijo v tišino, hlad in temo podzemnih jam obiskovalcem približa okolje, v katerem izraz "mi" ni rezerviran za ljudi. Za živa bitja v tem ekstremnem habitatu biološki čas teče počasneje kot za ljudi, medtem ko neživa narava milijone let geološkega časa beleži v pičlih milimetrih rasti. Hkratno raztezanje in krčenje časa je človeku težko doumljivo, a pronicanje vode, ki ju omogoča, kapljanje srebrnih kapljic, ki odzvanja v tišini jam, nam daje slutiti, da smo vpeti v svet, ki je veliko večji od nas samih. Utekočinjena časovna kapsula s treh avtorskih vidikov interpretira okolje, kjer čas in prostor kljubujeta človeški zaznavi.
Keywords: podzemne jame, ekstremni habitat, biološki čas, geološki čas, pronicanje vode, terensko delo, speleologija, izolirani zvok, bakterije
