Sažetak
By studying grassland vegetation on the slopes of the mountains in the hinterland of Rijeka town, Croatia we have observed that some types of grasslands show a clear regularity of spatial distribution in relation to the types of carbonate geological substrates. This is particularly true for Mediterranean-mountain grasslands dominated by narrow-leaved moor grass (Sesleria juncifolia). The geological bedrock, of course, with other climatic factors (strong bora wind!) is one of the possible ecological factors that could help clarify and delimit certain vegetation units within a wider set of communities with the narrow-leaved moor grass (Seslerietum juncifolie s. l.). Some of the communities from this complex are closely related to the dolomite, others to the limestone, and some to the glacial sediments (till). Using the available vegetation maps, pedological maps, geological maps and satellite imagery, we have tried to elaborate a methodology of comparative geological and vegetation mapping that would help to throw light on the relationship between the geological substrate and the type of grassland vegetation. Comparative study and mapping of geological substrate and vegetation could find practical application as an aid in geological exploration, but also in studying and mapping vegetation.
