1. FLOODPLAIN FORESTS OF SOČA RIVER BETWEEN KOBARID AND CONFLUENCE WITH RIVER TOLMINKA: CURRENT SITUATION AND DEVELOPMENTJanez Pagon, 2016, magistrsko delo Opis: In its upper course the Soča River is one of the best preserved Alpine rivers. Despite that, there have been few studies of its riverine forests, which are an integral part of the river. The research in this thesis encompasses part of the river basin between the towns of Kobarid and the confluence with the Tolminka River. It was found that the riverine forests in the study area are not a homogeneous habitat. Rather, they consist of numerous phytosociological communities with a syn-dynamic connection. The majority of riverine forests in the study area is younger than 50 years old and were established either by the overgrowing of agricultural land or from degraded forests. Accordingly, the forest structure is characterised mainly by uneven-aged stands or younger structural stages, which are frequently returned to their earlier stages due to human impacts. The majority of these forests have low quality prospects. Based on their vegetation and stand characteristics, the riverine forests under study were classified into six stand types. A comparison of the functions and characteristics of particular forest types revealed similarities between the stand types of initial willow, white willow and grey alder. Forests in this cluster are under the influence of soil water and high floodwaters. Their most pronounced function is ecological. In their growing stock, there is a large share of deciduous softwood. Forests in this cluster cover 62% of all riverine forests in the study area. Silvicultural measures are rare in these forests and are less important for the existence of the stands than environmental features like a high level of soil water and minimised human impact on their habitat and the river course. An important characteristic of the second cluster, which consists of pioneer forest on higher-lying river terraces and the riparian corridor stand type is a lack of contact with soil water. In the tree layer of the growing stock in this cluster, species appearing on drier riverine-forest sites prevail (European ash, small-leaved lime, European hornbeam, sessile oak). These forest stands have a greater timber industry potential; therefore, modest measures and limited human impact (especially that which leads to a change in land use like forest grazing and clearing) are recommended. The stands in this cluster cover 30% of the analysed riverine forest area. The third cluster of riverine forests consists of anthropogenic riverine forest stands where the human impact is so significant that they mainly perform a social function. The stand type of this cluster represents 8% of the riverine forests in the study area, and it is suggested that they should be managed as parkland and not as forest areas. Directing visitors to these areas would unburden other, more preserved stand types from the pressures created by human activities (tourism, recreation, construction work). Growth and increment analyses of the most common tree species in the riverine forests in the study area show that mainly olive and white willow, followed by grey alder, have substantial current height (both willow types up to 1.14 m/year), diametric (willow up to 1.4 cm/year) and volumetric increments. However, their rapid growth makes these subjects prone to rapid ageing. The region of northern Primorska was inhabited early in history. Accordingly, there was great pressure imposed on riverine forests already in the past. The analysis of old maps revealed that up to the beginning of the 20th century, the riverine forest area within the scope of analysis was under 50 ha. Within the process of the overgrowing of agricultural land in Slovenia, a process that is currently still underway, the aforementioned riverine forest area increased to 229.16 ha. This thesis shows that the study area is not an unspoiled wilderness. On contrary, just as in the past, it is a crossroads of numerous and frequently conflicting interests.

2. Preverjanje učinkovitosti izvajanja direktiv v okviru Nature 2000Jerneja Kokalj, 2015, diplomsko delo Opis: Natura 2000, katere sestavni del sta Direktiva o ohranjanju prostoživečih ptic in Direktiva o ohranjanju habitatov, je z letom 2014 začela novo programsko obdobje. Hkrati pa je podvržena drobnogledu Evropske unije. 1. novembra 2014 je namreč dobil evropski komisar za pomorske zadeve in ribištvo Karmenu Vella s strani predsednika Evropske komisije Jeana-Clauda Junckerja nalogo, da poskrbi za celovito oceno učinkovitosti izvajanja Nature 2000 (Fitness Check). Namen tega ukrepa je oceniti uspešnost, učinkovitost, relevantnost, skladnost in dodano vrednost Direktiv Nature 2000. Cilj je na podlagi dobljenih rezultatov prilagoditi, zmanjšati, združiti ali pa celo prenoviti zakonodajo o varovanju okolja na področju držav članic Evropske unije, in sicer tako, da bi bili cilji Direktiv doseženi ob nižjih stroških implementacije. S tem namenom smo v diplomskem delu izdelali evalvacijski model, ki 32 vprašanj iz vprašalnika Evropske komisije za preverjanje učinkovitosti Direktiv Nature 2000 hierarhično integrira v posamezne vsebinske sklope. Pri tem smo uporabili metodo DEX, model pa je izdelan s pomočjo računalniškega programa DEXi za večparametrsko odločanje. Poleg odločitvenega modela smo izvedli še analizo izdanih publikacij o Naturi 2000 v obdobju med leti 2000 in 2015, s katero smo želeli prikazati raziskovalno in strokovno aktivnost na področju Nature 2000 v Sloveniji. Na osnovi odgovorov vprašalnika smo z modelom integrirali odgovore Slovenije (MOP in DOPPS) in Velike Britanije (DEFRA). Ocene modela smo nato primerjali na državni ravni, torej MOP in DOPPS, ter na meddržavni ravni med Slovenijo (MOP) in Veliko Britanijo (DEFRA). Iz pridobljenih rezultatov lahko sklepamo, da bi implementacijo ukrepov Nature 2000 izboljšali z učinkovitejšim razpolaganjem razpoložljivih sredstev, s stalnim in doslednim monitoringom stanja, katerega rezultati bi bili dostopni širši javnosti, ter z izboljšanjem skladnosti sektorskih politik z zakonodajami o varovanju narave, kar bi pripomoglo k nižanju stroškov in skrajšanju časa, potrebnega za uveljavitev ukrepov direktiv Nature 2000. Ob primerjanju ocen Slovenije smo ugotovili, da obstajajo razlike med ocenami odgovorov MOP in DOPPS, pri čemer je DOPPS podal bolj kritično celostno oceno kot MOP. Primerjava Slovenije in Velike Britanije prav tako razkriva razlike o stanju učinkovitosti implementacije Nature 2000 in pokaže, da je Velika Britanija ocenila stanje kot slabo, Slovenija pa kot srednje.
